HE woke up to nowhere. That is, nowhere he knew -- that, and to an ache in too many places in his body to properly name. Were there more air in his lungs, he would have been in the right mind to jolt up and run to some place familiar. Were there more sense in his head, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath to rasped the word ‘ thirsty -- ‘ to the first unsuspecting character he saw. Yet he stayed there. Pinned to the stone floor of a darkened somewhere he did not have the strength to question.

JULY. I think the best way to describe it is that Dimitri sees himself as a DEBTOR who is living on borrowed time. Perhaps even stolen. He extremely wracked with survivor’s guilt and sees that the only way he can pay back those who he left behind is to live his life to the fullest in other people’s stead, but not for himself. Never for himself. Even after Rodrigue’s whole ‘ live for yourself / fight for what you believe in ‘ speech, Dimitri still feels that his life is not his own. Whether Duscur happened or not – whether Edelgard declared war or not, he is still a prince in service of his kingdom. 

DIMITRILOVEBOT. Well you see I’m morally contracted to stan any prince character of a series and before I was a prince fcker I was a knight fkcer and Dimitri fits all of them dajfadkladsfads BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I’m just generally a sucker for characters with too much love in their hearts to the point it’s both their greatest strength and greatest downfall.  He has a lot of causes he fights for and adamantly believes in the good of people, and that makes him vulnerable in so many spots. True enough, it does kick him in the ass in the end. But it’s also what makes him such a leader who is capable of inciting greater change. He has sympathy ( if not empathy ) for the weak and downtrodden because he’s so vulnerable at his core. And that’s sexy.

cheek : “ I want to tell you I love you “ / Deep devotiontakes his wrist ( fear of losing you ) puts her hands on his hips ( possessiveness / “you are mine” )

AS soon as the locks of the king’s quarters click shut, the king Dimitri leans into her every touch and her every promise. And he falls – fast and deep into her warm touch. Some might say that it was embarrassing that the King of Faerghus should kneel for someone else,  but he didn’t mind and he didn’t care. For her, he will. Always for her.

( Daggers for friends || SEMI-ACCEPTING ) 

I absolutely love the deep green on the sheath of the dagger as well as the embellishments on it – both on the sheath and blade. I’d like to think this is the more ‘traditional’ style of daggers made in Fhirdiad in terms of shape and design. It’s fairly straightforward as I doubt Byleth would want to deal with the frills of decorative weapons that are too expensive to use or too ‘innovative’ in design to use as it was intended. 

“OH – oh ! ” Lost in his piles of paperwork and furrowed brows, Dimitri did not even notice the other beginning to comb his hair back, let alone enter the room. He didn’t see any particular difficulty with doing work with his hair falling forward. However, now that Byleth was tying it back into a neat half updo, he realized just how much he had been squinting all this time.
