"This is your last dance!"

starting off this blog w/ a good ol’ fashioned ‘i didn’t know i was so in love w/ this character why me why now’ sketch dump

She stared him down with her unflinching stoic gaze. One might think she was ready to gobble him then and there if it weren’t for what she said next. “I am told you are knowledgeable of many human customs. I request you to inform me of some.”

"A-Ah! Panne! What a nice day we're having, right? I just got back from training so.. if you let me.." His nervous statement was interrupted by her next question. "Ah, yes! I-..I...Wait, what?"

"Well I’m am a thief, and a thief isn’t much without proper attire are they? Although I’m awful at stealing. I do more returning than anything. I’m just not sure what else to call myself since I spent so long training to be a thief…" She said with a slight pinkness to her cheeks.

"Anyways, since you found me, why not let me tag along? It wouldn't be very kind of me to simply let you walk off all alone in search of a meal, now would it?"

Lissa had to resists the urge to roll her eyes. “I have plenty of people looking out for me.” She had quite a few body guards. “And Inigo… you do know I’m married, right?” The princess was a bit surprised that the other was flirting with her. But then again he flirted with everyone. 

[✿]"Hahah, of course I do!" He said with a chuckle, feeling his face becoming slightly hotter. "I was just concerned for you -- You know, you are the Princess, after all." He laughed at this, saving himself. He did know Lissa was married, although his flirting had become such a habit he had.. forgotten for a moment. Yeah, that was it.

                   { ❂ } Stahl listened to him explain why he could not teach him how to dance, his heart sinking into his stomach. When he suggested asking Olivia, Stahl stood a little straighter as his face grew red. How was he supposed to explain why he could not ask Olivia without sounding like a tool? With a sigh and a shake of his head, Stahl ran a hand through his hair before looking back at his son. “W-well….you see,” Stahl sighed, he had to explain if he was going to get anywhere, “I-I kind of…you know….wanted to surprise your mom, I w-wanted to dance with her at the dance…but w-well….so I can’t ask her, o-or it won’t be a surprise..” he gave Inigo a look that screamed please dear Naga, teach me how to dance.

"Well.. I guess a few dance moves wouldn't hurt." He finally said, managing a small smile for the other. He still didn't think he was ready for this mentally, or physically for that matter, but figured; It was his father. What was the worst that could happen?

[✿]He turned around to look who had asked him the question, smiling as his gaze softened when he saw it was his mother. “No, not yet. I was actually starting to head to sleep. Did you need something, Mother?”

  So she was relatively permissive and let her little one make h is own choices. Olivia quickly shook her head, her cheeks flushing with color. “N-no, I was just curious if the future me did or not. Not that I was going to play matchmaker with you now. I-I just want you to be happy!”

"You’re not hurt, are you..?" He asked, before going to help the female up from her spot on the ground. It was then he noticed the small tears that leaked from her eyes, to which his expression grew even more concerned. "You’re crying..? Now, now. The bad guys are all gone, so we should be celebrating! No tears."

"Yeah, I think so too!  If you keep exploring a place, soon it doesn’t seem so scary anymore!  All of my other friends are still scared of the forest though, which is why I usually play alone or with my other friend." the little girl explained.

>"Is there a problem with you leaving at this hour? Did you do something to upset Chrom? I don't understand why he'd send me of all people to track you." Yes, like he was going to track a thief in the dark with no sense of direction as to where he was going and why. He was sure Gaius would catch him if he did try sneaking... Ah, he was thinking off topic now.
