[ GODDESS TOWER ] - No effort has been spared in surveillance or suspicion this year, and you know as much now that you find yourself alongside another answering to an ornery guard the moment you entered its vicinity.
It's an uncommon occurrence to find himself barred from going somewhere. In fact, he's sure it hasn't happened since he was young when he, Eirika, and Lyon would sneak out together to visit the nearby town.
"I understand. There's no need to be so gruff. I'm simply taking a break from the dancing."
The guards relent and send him on his way with a wary eye and it's not too long after that he encounters another student.
"I wouldn't go that way. The guards will only send you back. The tower has high security tonight." He looks up at its lonesome figure standing against the night sky before turning toward the other and noting the bouquet of lillies he holds.
Ephraim idly pulls free one of his tulips and offers it. Meanwhile, his gaze discreetly sweeps across the guards station. No, he won't be able to easily sneak past them. Not just yet, anyway.
"A flower for your trouble. Perhaps we should head back inside."
