      ❝ edelgard, are you injured ? ❞ she inquires, her practice blade withdrawing into its scabbard as she looks to her student. ❝ you seem to be favoring your left leg more than usual. were you harmed in the last battle ? ❞

   MERCEDES’ attention was grabbed the moment she heard the sound of footsteps echo the halls of the cathedral. Lifting her head up from prayer she spotted a very familiar figure. How odd. It wasn’t that often that she saw Edelgard in the cathedral. Her own curiosity got the better of her and she proceeded to greet the other. “Why hello there Edelgard. What brings you to the cathedral today?”

        ❛    nah  .  haven’t  seen  her  today.    ❜       a  once  over  to  polished  steel  ,  eyes  narrowed  as  scrutiny  continues  for  the  weapon  .  he  does  look  to  her  once  finished  ,  as  if  expecting  more  from  her  .  he  hadn’t  gotten  the  chance  to  see  byleth  today  ,  tugged  to  &  fro  by  the  will  of  rhea  &  her  whims  .      /      @seiroscrested

who are you again?

he knew of the fancy dishes she is used to for he knew them too once. however, those moments are long in the past and instead, he finds himself cooking for those that have never touched a cooking pan before. claude knows he isn’t a bad cook but he is used to only cooking for himself so having to cook for others certainly leaves the desire to wanting to impress those that he is cooking for. he doubts he will be able to compete with those well-trained and educated chefs but still, he dares to ask,   ❛  well? do you like it? ❜   -  @seiroscrested / college starter call.

OH THERE CERTAINLY WAS SOMETHING SHE SHOULD KNOW , but that didn’t mean Hubert had to tell her what it was . Of course , she was his future Emperor and the most important person in his life as her faithful subject , but that didn’t mean she needed to know the extent of what he did for her . Nay , an emperor should be pure of heart and their hands swash clean of blood and misdeeds , so it was his role as her aide to lay the burden of those actions upon his own two shoulders instead . All she need be focused on is her duty to the empire … Anything else could be laid squarely on the magus , everything from her protection to her conquest . ❝ A STORM IS COMING , Lady Edelgard , however our mission remains unaffected . Your ambitions will not be hindered by these mere trifles … I will make sure of it . ❞

“It’s boring to swing at opponents only you can see.” he announced his intent with a swing of his own training sword, knees bent and holding the sword at about eye level, pointed towards her. “I’m sure your shadow can do without trailing after you for the moment or two it takes for me to best you.”

     ❝  ah,   edelgard,   what  a  surprise.   is  there  something  you  require  my  aide  with?  ❞   it’s  not  often  that  students  show  up  to  his  office  under  their  own  volition.   normally  the  circumstances  in  which  they  show  up  is ---   less  than  ideal,   to  put  it  one  way.
