What’s with that surprised look, my friend?

[goldguile-a]

claude is not a huge fan of cats. he doesn't hate them, mind, but an experience in his childhood involving a cousin not wanting him near their cat made him incredibly wary in case they try and scratch. he doesn't mind them being in a room with him, but doesn't like them jumping on him or anything like that.

so naturally, amelia has a riegan tabby in the riegan estate that absolutely adores him and he Suffers.

he LOVES dogs though. absolutely ADORES them. in verses where it doesnt make sense for lear to be a wyvern, he's a burnese mountain dog.

Name: Hubert von Vestra

Age: 25

How well do we know each other?: The fact that I’ve fallen asleep in your office on multiple occasions should answer that question.

Do you have a pet name for me?: There’s really not much to work with when one has a single syllable name. I believe I called you a nuisance once back in our academy days though?

Do I have a pet name for you?: Did you steal Dorothea’s nickname for me, or did I imagine that?

Are you attracted to me?: I’ve never been one to be swayed over by crushes or flights of fancy but…. I will admit you’re rather attractive.

Why do you want to marry me?: I don’t like talking about feelings much. Not that there aren’t exceptions of course. Claude, had I been in your position when you found me… I probably wouldn’t have acted the way you did. In all honesty. I suppose that makes you the better man. Of course, I would give you my life now. My point is, you’ve seen me at my lowest point. You had every opportunity to take advantage of that - I was your enemy, for goddess’ sake. Instead you gave me shelter, you protected those dearest to me and the one that couldn’t be saved immediately? You worked with me until we could rescue her… And had the choice to betray my trust at the end, and guarantee she wouldn’t turn our armies on you. You didn’t. I owe you not just my life, but my family’s and my liege’s. Whilst there was a limit to how much I couldn’t potentially act behind your back whilst clearly being watched, you still had to display some trust in me… Claude, how could you not touch my heart in all that time? After everything?

Big wedding or Small wedding?: The moment Iva and Melly hear of this, what we want won’t matter.

Do you see children in our future?: …Perhaps. It depends what your feelings are on the matter. I lean towards yes, but as I’m hardly one for tradition, I won’t be heartbroken if it’s a no.

“oh, hubert...” 

   it would be so easy to tease him. to crack jokes about there being a beating heart in there after all. but he’s bearing his soul to you -- albeit on paper -- and you can’t bring yourself to do anything but smile at him gently. you set the parchment aside, taking his hand and lacing your fingers together. you give them a squeeze for good measure. 

   ... will he still want this when he learns the truth? probably not. it would take him away from edelgard, and you know no matter how much he might love you, she will always come first. you accepted it. but hubert von vestra has a right to learn the truth. 

“i would love nothing more than to spend my life with you, but...” a soft exhale. here you go. 

“there is... probably something you should know about me first. i’m... sure you remember all the rumours surrounding my origins, back when we first started school. you correctly guessed that i was almyran, no doubt because of aura, but... there’s more to it than that. can we go somewhere more... private? i’m going to tell you everything.”

[goldguile-a]

" you know you'll always be my best friend no matter what, right? "

“i know that in my mind…”

   you grimace, not liking that you’re forced to admit to this. she’s going to take offense to it, and get mad at you again for not trusting her, and then… then you’ll lose her forever. you sigh, dragging a face through your hand before fixing hilda with your best ‘please forgive me’ expression.

“…but in my heart, sometimes i worry. i haven’t… you’re the first friend i’ve ever had, hilda. well… human friend. i didn’t get along with other kids very well when i was younger, so this is all new to me. i worry i’ll say the wrong thing and upset you, or think that you’ll get tired of me and move on when i know it isn’t true– and it’s unfair to you, i know. and i’m sorry. i’m working on it, i promise.”

Yes he will comply if he’s allowed to nap with you–

   you open your arms, grinning. c’mon, then. there’s plenty of room for both of you.

ambitionsrelic replied to your post: Name: Lorenz Hellman Gloucester! Age: 24 How...

“Have you ever known me as a man keen to jest? Of course I am serious. I do not think your family will be hard to win over - I am Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, after all!”

   ... you’re not so sure. but you admire the enthusiasm, at least. 

“well... alright. i guess we’d best get you training, then-- my uncle will likely want to test your mettle with a duel, or sparring, or what have you. an actual, weapon-to-weapon spar. no magic. he’s got a... reputation back home as one of the greatest warriors in the country, so being able to keep up with him is an easy way to win his respect. that’s how mother ended up meeting father, actually-- she impressed my uncle enough for him to let her stow away with him.”

*rajya finding out the exact same thing*

Wife Application: Marianne

Name:  Marianne Nelke von Edmund

Age: 23

How well do we know each other?: Fairly well, since I have been writing to you and visiting Derdriu since the war.

Do you have a pet name for me?: I do not, but I could try to make one, if you wanted.

Do I have a pet name for you?: No, but you can call me Mari if you like, or anything else. I’d like a nickname.

Are you attracted to me?: …..Yes. Very much so.

Why do you want to marry me?: You make me feel safe and understood and you don’t think I’m strange for talking to Dorte. I think I make you feel understood too, or at least I hope I do. And I think that we could be good for one another.

Big wedding or Small wedding?: I would prefer a small one but I understand if it has to be bigger, given your large family.

Do you see children in our future?: Yes, I do.

“did melly put you up to this?” 

   you laugh, taking marianne’s hand and pressing a kiss to her knuckles. ( you then wonder how ring sizing works-- could you guess her size by observation alone? ) 

“this is sweet, thank you. someday, when this is all over... i’ll marry you. i promise, mari. if you still want me to, of course-- i couldn’t possibly imagine my life without you in it.”

Name: Lorenz Hellman Gloucester!

Age: 24

How well do we know each other?: I like to think I have come to know you quite well. We have been through quite a lot, although perhaps some of that is because of my rather… inconsiderate behavior when we were younger…

Do you have a pet name for me?: No - I would not assign pet names to one I was not actively courting. It is overly familiar.

Do I have a pet name for you?: I do not think so.

Are you attracted to me?: I suppose you can surmise as much as I am taking the time to fill this out.

Why do you want to marry me?: Your devotion to your cause is something quite extraordinary, as is your devotion to those who might help you achieve it. I could never consider marriage to someone I did not respect as I respect you.

Big wedding or Small wedding?: It shall be large - one to be remembered.

Do you see children in our future?: I should hope so.

“i knew you’d come around someday, but to have fallen for me so deeply you’d want to marry me? i’m surprised, lorenz!” 

… it still seems a little unbelievable. somewhere in the corner of your mind you wonder what his angle must be– what could lorenz possibly gain from marrying you, except the eternal scorn of his father? ( the man had tried to murder you, once upon a time. ) a foothold in international politics, perhaps, but… you haven’t quite told him whose politics he would end up dealing with. 

   that is, if he doesn’t pull the plug on this entire arrangement the moment he learns you belong to almyra, not the alliance. 

“you’re serious, though, aren’t you? you’re not the type to just fill out silly little forms like these for fun– i’ll consider it… if you can win over my aunt and uncle first.”

Husband Application

Name:  Brail Thandwell >:3

Age: 24

How well do we know each other?: Probably a bit too much but we keep it to ourselves with the threat of getting too close to one another due to overall self protective instincts. But we–know each other well, well enough to understand one another.

Do you have a pet name for me?:  Your name because I like the sound of it on my lips so–

Do I have a pet name for you?:  Probably one you don’t tell me 

Are you attracted to me?:  Immensely.

Why do you want to marry me?:  Because I don’t want to leave your side and considering that compelling reasoning marriage is the only option.

Big wedding or Small wedding?: Depends on what you want, I would prefer a bigger one, though

Do you see children in our future?:  I’ve never been much for children, but I’ll adopt a couple.

“... you’re not going to lay on top of the paper and force me into bed before i can stamp an approval on it, are you? i wouldn’t mind a nap, though... but only if you join me.”
