      He doesn’t blame Lissa for having reservations about the arrangement. He’s been in Ylisse long enough to hear whispers of Emmeryn’s previous failed courtships, and the stories didn’t sit well with him either. In the short time he’s known her, he knows she deserved better. 

      It’s only natural for her siblings to be so concerned. Were his own sister in the same position, he’s certain that he would feel the same.

      “I understand how you feel. Emmeryn and I have talked about this at length, and I’m very fond of her. Even had we not agreed to the arrangement, we would have come away from this as friends, I’m certain.”

      Selig smiles. “And I would like for us to be friends, too, Lissa.”

Lon’qu still couldn’t believe that Prince Chrom had approached him to guard his sister, especially when the prince was well aware of his phobia. It was an understatement to say that he was apprehensive about the situation, but none the less, he was not one to disobey orders. Especially if they were from his current Captain. He would not do anything to disgrace his commander, Khan Basilio, especially when he was ordered to follow Chrom’s orders. He sighed as he stood outside of Lissa’s door. Lon’qu had no idea how he would make it through this, but none the less he took a deep breath and knocked on the door. “Princess... sorry for the intrusion. I’ve come to guard you as your brother ordered.”

     “Are you sure about that?” She doesn’t mean to be patronizing, particularly when she herself hasn’t the faintest idea of what proper axe technique might look like, but she can tell at a glance that Lissa seems distinctly uncomfortable with the weapon in her hands--particularly when she knows the ease with which Vaike and Cherche seem to wield theirs. 

    “Well...I’m not really sure I can help you, aside from finding someone who’s been using an axe for a while. Though I think I recall Vaike holding his axe a little like this?”
