#dimitri.

so, because fire emblem never explains why dimitri loses a damn eye in his route, i get to run free with headcanons!  anyway, my dimitri did not lose an eye, but instead, he experiences a phenomenon known as ‘ghost eye’.  dimitri, of course, is a particularly severe case in which he experiences hallucinations and visions of the dead who have come to haunt him.  as a result, he injures himself in desperation, unable to bear the ghosts in his life, but the wound was shallow and the eye was ultimately saved as a result of white magic and quick application.  now, there is a scar just above the eye, but his visions still remain, hence the eyepatch to stop himself from experiencing these visions.  post war, dimitri finally seeks proper care for his trauma and eventually treats this condition over time.

He realized, too late, in the parking lot behind the restaurant, that he hadn’t at all thought this meeting through.

“Shit,” he muttered, pressing his forehead to the steering wheel. How did this slip past him? Dimitri lived with Charlie, and he hadn’t even considered the possibility that the newborn vampire knew about what had happened. Surely Charlie would have let Augustus know? Or maybe it was foolish of Augustus to think they would be secretive about all of this.

This car was too hot, he decided, because there was no other reason for his face to be so flushed. He decided that he wasn’t going to bring it up until he knew, for certain, that Dimitri already knew. Newly resolved, Augustus stepped out of his car and walked to the front door. The younger vampire was already waiting for him, and Augustus nodded to him in greeting.

“Good to see you,” he said. “It’s been a while.”
