Head Canons about the Strategist + their Lord
"I would die for you, my lady.”-Huebert. “I order you not to die.”-Edelgard.
Both do their homework and share their tips and knowledge.
Will not ‘gossip’, but ask about what they think of a person.
Talk extensively about how to approach a situation. Must consider every angle.
Accuse each other of the same problem. Edelgard will point out if Huebert looks tired and tell him to rest, but he’d say he’s fine; he’d do vice versa and she’s say she’s fine.
Listens to what each has to say.
Relationship built on trust.
Have meals together. Dedue insists getting all the food and drinks ready, much to Dimitri’s embarrassment.
“I would die for you, my lord.”-Dedue. “Please don’t! We would assist each other to ensure that we would both survive!”-Dimitri.
Dedue always helps Dimitri with homework. Dimitri tells him to not help him too much, as a) it won’t be his work anymore, and b) he must learn.
Dimitri would ask what Dedue thinks; Dedue would say whatever his lord thinks.
Dimitri feels that Dedue does too much for him! So he spends time with Dedue, i.e. picking and/or pruning flowers with him.
They would only say positive traits of people, unless they’re genuinely suspicious of someone.
Relationship built on respect.
‘Claude don’t socialise’-a sign Lorenz would have.
“I would never die for you.”-Lorenz. “I know :D”-Claude.
Probably debate all the time. Lorenz has a big ego; can ‘never’ be wrong with homework.
Only bond over gossip. The two enjoy a good gossip.
Lorenz’s strategies are perfect the way they are. Claude will just go with the flow (unless the plan is terrible).
The only time Lorenz seeks guidance from Claude is over how to attract girls. Claude would be all ‘I will only tell you if you refer to me as your lord’.
Claude would press Lorenz’s buttons for the laughs.
Relationship built on... no one really knows, not even the Golden Dear.
