Family related.
Family related.
Her eyes grew stern now.
“You and I are both capable of makinf our own decisions, if you asked me, I would give you my decision, and that would be that.
We are. . .friends. I hope that still remains the case of course.”
Her hands loosened, even letting go.
“Though, the decision to--
Yeah. She stabbed herself in the foot with that one.
Flustered, Severa turned her head away. Not quite running away since she’s still tying herself to the blue princess.
“Why can’t you just…” yet again, she sighs “… Sorry.”
Her words grow small as her lips do.
Well, that's for another time to discuss.
Her father and their duties as shepards. Honestly, with Severa gone, any well, many others leaving, Lucina found herself with less than to do than training, and Regna Ferox, though it was good training, it was also still training.
She cleared her--

I did not want this emblem to be so fire--.

She cleared her--
using the Shepherds-wise title instead of the Exalt one, sure. It felt more archivable while spoken that way.
“It’s like I never left, huh?”
“And should I stop being so fooloshly naive? To be able to do things so very confidently as you can at times?”
That took a lot to say, but her reservations brought her back--

She cleared her--
Perhaps I can have a moment to talk to her later?
Anyways.
What is your main goal? And what would you say is the biggest thing you learned from ruling?”
❝ Well, after the fall of Emperor Rudolf and King Lima IV, many Valentians needed change. With the civil war, both Rigelians and Zofians saw themselves as people united and alike. With a new Valentian identity, Celica and I saw it fit to be the rulers of a united Valentia. ❞
ㅤ
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. We lose family to that sort of behavior still, in it's own dark twisted way.”
She sighed.
“Though we prevented most losses, we're recovering as I am here.
Did you have to reform the kingdom afterwards? What is it like to rule?”

That took a lot to say, but her reservations brought her back--
And yet her scoff echoes needlessly while her hands keep themselves in the princess’.
The warmth in her cheeks feels as annoying and revealing as so does the ring in her finger. The redhead chose to ignore that tiny detail for her own sake.
She pulled back almost as instinctively, not only to examine her longtime companion, but to also give her space. She knows how she gets swept up in her emotions at times, that was one thing that the--

He thought for a moment…
❝ I think I understand my father’s actions more now. I have a cousin, who kinda lived the life I would have had I stayed in Rigel. He was unfortunately was used by cult and suffered at his own life. I fear I would have met the same fate. ❞
ㅤ
She had to at least ask this question.
It is a perspective she doesn't get to see.

A sigh came, but he still had a smile, even if it hinted some sadness.
❝ That’s right. I was born on Rigelian soil, but lived my life in Zofia. My father Emperor Rudolf believed my life would be safer in the trusted care of a friend outside of Rigel’s borders. ❞
ㅤ
She provided a smile.
“Simply put, your ubringing is different from most in my time. We are born in royalty, yours, it was not the case, wasn't it?”
She had to at least ask this question.

I'd need to clear off a lot of rust but...
She provided a smile.
“Simply put, your ubringing is different from most in my time. We are born in royalty, yours, it was not the case, wasn't it?”
A nod followed. He understood what she meant. A smile finally came to his face.
❝ Well, ask away Lucina. You’ve already shared so much, and I think it’s fair I did the same. Apologies for being wary at first. ❞
❝ What do you wish to know of me? ❞
ㅤ
She nodded.
“I only wished to meet a hero of the past, to learn of their own beliefs.”
She provided a smile.

Defensive right away! Some things never change.
“That was just TRAUMATIZING to s—”
( … )
“… see.”
The warm embrace tenses her up yet softens the sharp gaze right away.
It's kinda like a squirt and the start of a balloon deflated, but muted and much more unwarranted. . .
unnecessary even. Much like this act against mother nature itself.
Lucina, if it wasn't clear enough, was rather exhausted with--

She nodded.
“I only wished to meet a hero of the past, to learn of their own beliefs.”
He felt educated on the topic, and had many questions but…
❝ I’ve done research on Falchion myself… It is strange to know there are more than the one, but it makes sense considering its origin. ❞
❝ So, the lands of Archanea become that of Ylisse… ❞
ㅤ
She knew and told the tale of Ylisse, the goddess Naga, the fire emblem and then. . .
“Falchion. A legendary blade, yet there are many named of it. Odd, no?”
She nodded.
“I only wished to meet a hero of the past, to learn of their own beliefs.”

❝ Ylisse… You’re right, I’ve never heard of a leave nor have seen it on a map. ❞
❝ Tell me more about yourself Lucina, and your home. I’m actually curious now to hear more. ❞
ㅤ
Though, my land of Ylisse, I believe it is a unknown name to your ears.”
She shook her head.

She would’ve loved to be nervous instead of having THESE conflicted feelings—where’s the regret and sorrow? Right now she’s only disgusted! … And finding it a biiiiit heartwarming. Gross.
“Haa… I s‘pose having the worst luck ever could get worse anyway. So much for thinking about hiding,”
Just normal behavior.

❝ Lucina… Hmm… ❞
❝ Your name sounds Valentian, Zofian even, but… Your clothes don’t reflect that. You say you travel? Where do you come from? ❞
ㅤ
Aside from that, she wasn't one for formalities after all she's been through.
“I'm Lucina, a princess of a land, I'm only here to confirm some inferences I made.”
Though, my land of Ylisse, I believe it is a unknown name to your ears.”
She shook her head.
