⇕ = holding their hand.

With all these recent revelations, something sticks in her mind. A question she didn’t get to ask before that voice forbade any more.

What will happen if Mal⁠— this Mal wants to return home once everything has been said and done? Plucked from a different point in time, would they be separated and placed in different worlds or realities? Would history be rewritten? Just what would happen?

It makes her feel uneasy just thinking about it, and perhaps the other can sense it. The hold on her hand is acknowledged with a small smile, though it doesn’t quite reach her eyes.

❝M…❞

Her voice comes out a little quieter than intended, but even as her heart wavers between two options she’ll have to choose from regardless of the answer, there’s no shakiness to her words.

A gentle squeeze of Mal’s hand as she speaks up again.

❝Whatever happens, I’ll still be right there with you. You know that, right?❞

Once upon a time, a young lady named Evie had found herself suddenly whisked away to another world, full of glamour and castles as far as the eye could see—

Except it wasn’t. It isn’t. Don’t get her wrong; Koi certainly has its own charm, and discovering somewhere completely new does admittedly excite her. But this isn’t Auradon, nor is it the Isle. As delightful as this place might seem, it isn’t home.

Sitting here at Deja Brew, she feels at quite a loss. Whilst sipping at some tea, she idly flicks through a book she’d grabbed at random, even as her mind is stuck thinking about the copy of D*sney’s Sn*w Wh*te she’d been given upon arrival. Maybe she’ll find some answers here, she thinks, but, if anything, the pages only seem to leave her with more questions than before.

Then, something unexpected happens. Out the corner of her eye, she spots someone familiar.

❝M? Is that you?❞ 

Standing from her seat, she lightly places a hand on the girl’s arm and turns her just a little, trying to get a better look at her face. Yeah, that’s definitely Mal. But... she looks so...

❝That hair— no, not just the hair. This isn’t like what happened with Audrey, is it? But instead of an old— beautiful old woman, they spelled you back a couple of years to your pre-Queen self?❞

copic color headcanonsmallow: what sorts of things might remind your muse of those close to them? any scents, objects, sounds? 

i could probably come up with a whole list of little things that would specifically make him think of each individual person in the blue lions + byleth but that would be A Lot i think.

in general, i imagine he still associates stuff like the sound of food cooking with his family, or his parents specifically. something sizzling in a pan, the sound of chopping vegetables, a pot boiling. that sort of thing. he grew up in a restaurant his parents owned, so hearing it always takes him back to his early childhood, at least a little bit. it makes being in the kitchen sort of like being in his comfort zone.

he’d also likely associate the sound of hymns with his time the monastery, though depending on circumstance it’s either nostalgic for his time there at school ( good! ) or in the present during the war ( very complicated! ). who exactly these memories would bring to mind varies.
