“of course i care. you’re my family.” 

“yes, corbett? is there something you need?” 

meme ! accepting.

ricken doesn’t question it when henry tries to keep him up until dawn. yanking him into his tent and finding reasons for him to stay as the hours pass. he knew they weren’t going to study, rather trade stories and talk about whatever is that would entertain him. but soon, he gets tired, and he whines, and begs to just be able to sleep. henry says he can go, but it doesn’t seem sincere. for whatever reason, it causes him to feel SICK and GUILTY. at first he’d just done it to prove he wasn’t as young and childish as people believed, that he could entertain the idea of pulling an all nighter. now he just feels lost. 

he can stay a few hours longer.

so, he ends up sitting by the lantern in silence across from henry, staring at the ceiling and wondering if it’d be rude to stop picking at his nails and instead read his book.

but that’s when henry speaks. it’s quiet and hesitant, it’s unlike anything ricken has seen from him. it’s not often the facade BREAKS, if it even was a facade - god, these things were hard to tell. 

thank you. i don’t know why he thought this was a good idea.

       “father, have you ever heard of a curse that causes someone to liquify and turn into mist? and would...would there be anyway to restore someone who had passed away due to such a curse?” 

      there is a spark in lars’- laurent’s eyes that had been absent for the few weeks since his return to ylisse. his wife was gone- claimed by whatever curse existed in her song- or her pendant. laurent had still yet to figure out which was the culprit. 

       but just because azura was gone did not mean the curse was lifted, and laurent wanted to get to the bottom of it- to protect his children. he had long since figured out her gift was hereditary, and considering shigure took after his mother so much...laurent worried.
