Eirika was not prone to fits of violence. It was not her nature. She valued peace and diplomacy above all else.

However, she sometimes felt like making an exception for Innes.

"Do not forget who holds my brother's confidence more than any other. I may not be in line to sit upon the throne, but I have a very good idea of the pressures it entails. As I support Ephraim, I hope to support you as well." No matter how she wished to wrap her hands around his neck sometimes, Innes was still her friend. She had known him since childhood.

She was almost willing to accept the sentiment of his words. As he meant a great deal to her, so she did to him. The drive to protect someone close to you could overshadow all sense.

“I will not allow that to happen, because I love you, Eirika.”

Was this his idea of a confession?! Confusion, then rage, and then exasperation ran through her.

It was no secret to Eirika — though it was one to both Innes and Ephraim — that Innes held feelings for her brother. Eirika could be blind and she would see it. At some point, his feelings had become misplaced on her, and if she had to listen to him again insinuate that she was the one who held her brother in such lofty standards, she might very well break her own morals and strangle him.

Ephraim, of course, had no idea of Innes's affections. Her brother thought the Frelian prince hated him.

The other issue she took with his so-called confession was that what if she did love him? His thoughtlessly spoken words would give only false hope. Yet he had no idea.

Yuri is weird.

It's the best word Hilda's got but it certainly didn't encapsulate all the uncertain, unnamed emotions that cross her mind when she thinks of the trickster. He's an enigma - a real, true one. Guys like Claude, guys like Sylvain, she figures them out sooner rather than later. Yuri kind of reminds her of Claude sometimes - pretty words and easy smiles with hard, dangerous eyes. But every time she thinks she's figured him out, he throws her for yet another loop. It's a dance she's still learning the steps to and frankly? She sort of hates being on the back foot like this.

Kanji's fist balling up, then relaxing was ignored--Rise understood the reflex and, more importantly, that the Emperor would never dream of hurting her. He was still adapting to touch being a friendly sort of thing instead of always being a precursor to a fight, after all, much as she was still learning that she didn't always need to be a little shit. If only she was learning that lesson faster... perhaps then, she wouldn't immediately be scandalizing him with her flirtation.

Alas, such was not the case.

The Emperor's reaction to her flirtation was, also, about as she expected it to be. She had an inkling as to his issues with self-confidence and not being able to believe that she wasn't entirely kidding, but it felt awkward to try to talk to him about it. It would be too easy for him to think that it was a matter of her Persona spying on him or something when it was far simpler than that; being an idol meant having to be able to read people accurately, and quickly at that. An exasperated chuckle.

Olivia was ready to kick herself for burdening Chrom like this. He was a prince, soon to be Exalt, and the leader of the Shepherds, he didn't have time for entertaining her infatuation. Even if she had come to know him as incredibly kind and down-to-earth. At first she had been scared of him, but now her heart raced for a different reason.

And then her heart stopped all together. Was this a good or bad response? What did he mean by talking about it once everything was over?

Accepting so many class transfers was a MISTAKE.

The Officers Academy' newest professor was sympathetic to the fact that Constance was forced into Abyss before completing her education, and whilst the other new addition could be... A nuisance, albeit an enthusiastic one. The two of them were just about manageable on their own but Ferdinand, Lorenz and Constance all in one classroom?

Byleth needed a drink.

Perhaps naming Constance to a close friend of hers was not professional, but Yuri seemed to understand immediately once they mentioned that it was like teaching three of her at once. At least he knew she could be a handful, and offered a much stronger way to unwind than had Byleth found a bar in the nearby town.

They had no idea what was in this concoction the rogue had offered, but it was certainly strong enough to break through the former mercenary's constitution. So much so that it had taken them off-guard.
