It was a quiet night in Valm as the festivities finally came to an end as most turn in for the night to rest. The ballroom normally would be empty and yet there were two ghostly figures of Berkut and Rinea dancing happily in wedding attire. The sound of footsteps caused Rinea to look and she gave a bittersweet smile. "You really did become a wonderful big brother to me. Thank you Lord Chrom and goodbye." The young couple gave a royal bow to him before fading away to rest in peace at last.

attack me any time with feels | @devotedrigelianflower

Chrom still feels his heart racing seeing his little sister marries (again) in front of him. She’s leaving as well huh...Lissa made her choice to be with the man she loves and that meant that she will leave the castle as well and now Azalea chose Emperor Berkut to be her life time partner. To think when he goes back to the castle it will be . . . empty. It scared him but most of all, he was happy and glad for her.

Even after calling it a night, he was not granted sleep as he felt something is calling him out. He tossed around in bed, trying to brush away these feelings when he no longer could ignore them and Chrom got up to his wife’s chagrin who was worried about him. He told her it is fine and he just needs some fresh air then changed his clothes quickly, enough to walk by the corridors without causing a scene and followed where his heart is telling him to.

He was met by Valmese guards and they were not that happy to see Ylissean, let alone the king of ylisse trotting about their castle but they could not stop him or do anything to him or it will be a great scale problem but they accompanied him, more like followed after him to the ballroom. The guards thought he was going crazy to come to here at this ungodly hour but when Chrom walked in, his blue eyes widened when he saw someone in there. The guards waited outside so they did not see what Chrom had seen.

“Y-You!” his mouth was agape out of shock. The memories of his trip to Askr suddenly came rushing to him. He may not have remembered all of that happened and transpired in that world for a reason or another, mostly and what he thinks to protect him and protect the flow of time, but now he sees the lady and the gentleman with her...”Rinea? ...Lady Rinea...and Berkut...?” he whispered under his breath. Why it has never occurred to him in Askr? Was that some kind of intervention so he does not mess with what had and will happen?

@devotedrigelianflower​ sent:   ✿ Lord Berkut returns the affection for Rinea ~  ( randomized kisses )

    where does he even begin?

berkut can tell by the way rinea sits on the bed next to him that she's nervous. though he wasn't quite sure how to describe his emotions earlier, he was beginning to feel that some of her energy was contagious. he wouldn't call himself nervous for this like her, but perhaps uncertain? wondering if he should just call off this exercise and try it some other time?

then again, it is rinea that talked of how she desired him, of how she feared a future where she didn't get to know the happiness of being his wife, and how she envied the open affection that the couples around them got to exhibit. it was so very unlike rigel, but the shock had worn away to a want, and he knew that if taking their relationship to the next level was what would reassure his beloved, he ought to meet her halfway.

“ we need not rush ourselves to the same activities your friend is partaking in, rinea, ”  he speaks, breaking the tense silence between them.  “ you want to not be stuck in our ways however. that is fine. ”

he turns his gaze towards her, tilting his body and resting his hand on her shoulder as he presses a kiss to her lips. they have shared these before in askr, but they have always been chaste. this is not the forward movement rinea has asked for, he knows. he intends not to draw away, not yet, but to instead feel more of her lips and get to know her more. the kiss turns more ardent, and when it comes time for him to part, he still does not retreat.

“ rinea, open your mouth. ”  it is a simple command, and whether rinea complies because she wants to or because she is surprised by the request, it ends the same: berkut's tongue passes past her lips and begins to explore her mouth and taste more of her.

he is clumsy at first for having not the experience for it, and he had initially desired to stop soon after — until he feels her own tongue entwine with his, reciprocating his bumbling movements. his hand moves to the back of her head, threading his fingers between her blue locks as he brings her closer to him and kisses her more earnestly, feeling his lungs turn to fire as they beg for air, but he keeps going.

when they part, it is out of necessity. he notices how vivid her blush has turned, and for a moment all there is between them is their shared breaths. they could go for more, but berkut presses the pad of his thumb against her lips, sweeping over it. his eyes trail back up to meet her own, and in a voice huskier than he knew possible from his lips do the words spill out:

“ tell me. was that what you wanted from me? ”

and, unbeknownst to him, was there a matching blush across his own cheeks beginning to form.

“He’s very lucky to have you, Lady Rinea.”

Chrom wasn’t trying at mere flattery. He truly felt that way. Rinea’s eyes shined with pride whenever she spoke of Berkut. Even now, he could hear the love and devotion in her voice.

“I’ve seen you dance with him before. During the Soiree, if I recall correctly.”

        “You seem anxious…Worry not, Lady Rinea. Fortunes are all in good fun, but they’re just what you make of them! I’m sure your year will go fine…even if you’re up against the gods this time.”

        “I’m…not sure how reassuring that is, but let’s just see where this takes us – “ – *shake shake shake clack*  – “Ah, there’s one! This says…11 11 3 15 90…

Love: Okay Luck. Keep at it – if there’s someone you have your eyes on, they will soon notice you.Money: Very Bad Luck. Check your pockets for holes! You’re going to lose quite a bit of money soon. Watch your back in the markets…Aspirations: Bad Luck. Turbulent times lie ahead. Avoid toiling alone…You will need the support of others if you want to be successful.Health: Good Luck. If you have been tired lately, don’t worry too much. You will feel much more well rested this week.Overall: Very Good Luck! The year will be fortuitous, with only a few small setbacks. Your luckiest color is blue!

  ❝ What do you mean you have no idea where she went?! ❞ HIS CRY TEARS THE SKY as he grits his teeth in dissatisfaction at the nearest soldier, hand in their collar. He had clearly dallied too much, but had he truly been so unnerved that he had let the distance between his lover and himself grow that far? He frees the soldier from his grasp, tossing them aside as he spit out, ❝ How pitiful. ❞

Had he said it to mock them or chide himself? His head is a storm enough without the needless clutter whirling around in it. He beckons someone else call over his steed immediately. He could cover more ground with his mare and would surely be able to catch up with Rinea.

His horse canters, traversing through what open ground he could, but as the minutes slipped by, an uneasy feeling hits him. The thunder soon follows, and his only nearby choice was to investigate the forest. He dismounts, wary of making himself too much of a high point and thus a target to nature's wrath.
