“ Is something wrong? I’m here for you if you need someone to talk to. ”
❛ thank you… ❜ she takes a moment to respond, to rally her thoughts, momentarily distracted by the strange comfort that was his arm wrapped around her. in any other moment it’d have sent her heart racing, but now, when despondence reigned, it brought only warmth. safety. this prince of ylisse, an expert of no magic, had so easily cast this spell upon her. had loosened the grip her demons had around her heart, had ripped their talons from her mind.
❛ it’s selfish of me, but for so long I’ve pushed memories of my sisters from my mind. we’d had no true connection—no, I’d just been too dense to see it…and now it’s hitting me, again, that they’ve placed a heavy burden upon my shoulders. ❜ her gaze turns downcast. gauntled hands curl and uncurl in her lap. it really was rather selfish. cordelia should’ve been honored. they’d given their lives for her. they’d entrusted the future of their order within her. she was the greatest pegasus knight of their time. ❛ I…I feel so alone. I don’t think I can manage this. yet I must. I’m…perfect. ❜
she shyly glances up at him, head tilting and turning so eye contact could properly be managed. if it’d been any other time she might’ve laughed at this cliche—the moment in which the sterling young maiden urged her prince charming to gaze into her eyes, to look upon her soul and suddenly understand everything. to pull her closer…but things weren’t like in the stories.
❛ I’m sorry you need to see this side of me…though still…I need to ask…how is it that you manage, chrom ?? how do you not buckle beneath the weight of leading us all ?? ❜
