Ethereal Ball asks

It had been awhile since Linhardt had seen Arvis, though their excursion into the Sealed Forest was had enough shared trauma that he trusted the professor. 

Linhardt took the glasses and put them on. They covered his eyes so no one could tell he was napping and they blocked out light relatively well. “No one would notice if one pair went missing,” he yawned as he looked at the camera for their photo to be taken.

Bernadetta freezes in place.

She doesn't know who this is. She doesn't know who this is, but she can feel the waves of terrifying presence that roll off of him in just one sentence. She wants to scream, but she swallows it forcibly and uses that energy to instead make sure she stands ramrod straight and looks into the camera and doesn't burst into tears just yet.

If Hubert was scary, this man was a nightmare. If her father was scary, this was...

Bernadetta doesn't even bother to look at the photo when it's passed to her. She takes it with a polite nod and offers the photo to the man without looking. Good, quiet Bernadetta. Noble daughter of Varley. Definitely not a recluse weirdo, no, she could be noble too she could-

"Thank you for the honor." She manages, voice wavering on every single syllable. Tears are welling up in the corner of her eye and she has to fight super hard to keep them from spilling over, but she manages it.
