event starter call!!! (but i promise to get around to the regular ones too lmao. gotta finish making icons)
byleth is very tired. but he’s a protagonist at heart, so he’s also nosy. and if he happens to run into someone who needs a hand, or be approached by them... you know the drill. so if you want that kind of run-in, slap that like! capping at 4 for now.

❥⎹ Koi was warm and the last week has been nice and cloudy, perfect weather to find a nice spot to lean against a tree and nap as he listened to birds tweet. By this point, he had easily tuned out all the sounds of people possibly approaching him, as the sound of people walking would only be disruptive to his sleep, though this time … a voice was able to snap his eyes wide open and the hand on his shoulder was a sure sign to him that this was nonother then his professor, and the way he spoke to him made his tiredness slip away, at least for now.
❛ Professor ! ❜ There was clear happiness in his voice, that was otherwise usually quiet or unreadable, though this time he was excited even. ❛ You should know by now, Sleep is my enemy, I can’t help when it overcomes me … It’s good to see you though. You are well, right ? ❜
“You know me, Linhardt. Always hale and hearty.” It’s worded like a joke (because it is), but the delivery is so flat that someone who didn’t know him would almost certainly take it for cold sarcasm. He shakes his head, slow, then takes a place beside him in the grass. How strange... relaxing like this after so long. Likely just as strange as coming across someone dear to him in a mysterious place like this...
“In such a strange place, you should make it a point not to let your guard down...” His scolding is gentle as his speech, but he does sport a visible frown to accompany it... before it drops. “Although I guess it makes no difference, now that I’m here. How have you been?”

“How do you manage to keep going despite everything?”
questions to be sent on (or off!) anon
Byleth’s brow furrows imperceptibly, then his head tips to the side, as if he’s having trouble comprehending the question. “How do I... manage?” Persistence is one of the only things that come naturally to him, and so to be asked such a thing confuses him... surely stopping was never an option, right? Just as futile and impossible as facing a defeat.
“... If we press on, we’re bound to lose things. But if we stop... everything is lost, isn’t it? It’s simply something that I have to do.”

He’s rather used to his professor being a man of few words, so the lack of followup doesn’t bother him at all. Honestly, it would be hard for much about this to bother him at all. Ashe is nothing short of ecstatic to see his professor again, and it shows unrestrained in his expression. He reaches for the hand given, taking it in his own and grasping it firmly; fondly.
“Professor! You have no idea how glad I am to see you.” Byleth might not be willing to say it, but Ashe has never been good at keeping his feelings- or his thoughts in general -to himself. “I’m so relieved you’re alright. I was terribly worried.”
His happiness is, of course, shared-- in fact, the display borders on infectious. Byleth finally does smile, soft and a little weary, resting a second hand over the space where theirs have now connected. Talking seems to come much easier accompanied with the contact. “Worrying over me, hm? It’s my job to worry over you.”
Is, was. Semantics. Either way, he reclaims his free hand, now using it to preen at Ashe’s face. A thumb presses gently into his cheek, then tips his chin just slightly, as if appraising him. “No injuries?”

“... Don’t tell me you’re going to sleep through our reunion, too.”
He sounds exasperated, but only because he’s trying, as he drops to one knee beside his former student and lays a careful hand on his shoulder. How does one remain so enamored with sleep this far into young adulthood?

huh, i'm not bad looking
“…” He’s going to need a moment to process this. In fact, maybe it’s time to break out that giant coffee mug.

“... Ashe.” Though his lips don’t quite make it into a smile, a practiced gaze can catch the shimmer of contentment in those doll eyes. He draws close, gloved hands clasped at the fingertips. Lips part once more, as if to utter an “it’s good to see you,” but Byleth seems to think better of it, simply holding out his hand instead.
