He's sheepish in his approach, but Dimitri extends his hand with his back straight and his chest out regardless.

"You did amazingly, Louis. I know that we were bested in the end, but it is clear that you put your heart into the battle, and none could have asked for more from you. You...you really did our house proud, and I am honored to have fought by your side."

He wants to apologize - for his poor performance, for his poor direction - but it doesn't have a place here, at the moment. Not when Louis had truly stood strong, the wall that the Golden Deer had crashed against.

"I can only hope I have the privilege of fighting alongside you in the future. Thank you, Louis, for lending me your strength today."

"well, if it isn't the blue lions shining star having come to visit me ! a pleasure, prince dimitri," louis looks from where he has sat, grass dirtying pantlegs & busted lip to boot - the damage was far from grievous, but he had most certainly found himself roughed up from the hands of the golden deer. "i could not have come as far without your aid."

he stands up to see dimitri, eye to eye. "hmm . . . were we truly bested, though ?" face falls into a moments thought, before he shakes his head in disagreement. "perhaps physically, my friend. but from what i observed, i sincerely believe our mutual displays of bonds and care allowed us to triumph in some other ways. we fought as if we were the best of friends, and such is enough to inspire the other blue lions to imitate us."

it was not that louis was a sore loser - far from it, he had babbled on how wonderful it was to trade blow-to-blow with the golden deer. how he had given it his all, how he couldn't of done anything even harder, and he lost fair and square. a commendation of the ' enemies ' skillset. "it is through your instruction that we all managed to excel greatly. we'd have not been able to do it without you."

at that, he looks dimitri over. was he truly walking around after such a tough battle ? "please, allow me to accompany you to visit the other blue lions. things are far better done in pairs."

dimitri ought not to go to every single blue lion alone and ( assumedly ) mention that, 'though you lost, you did great !'. it sounds a little morale-busting for the house leader, the armored knight presumes.

"if you will allow me, then i would be honored to fight by your side once more," at that, he takes dimitris hand with a firm shake, tracking slight bits of mud onto his gloves. unfortunate. "it would be my greatest happiness to be your shield, come our skirmishes or future forays into battle."

Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe

African American Miku! There's a trend on Twitter where people are drawing Miku from different countries and in cultural clothing, and of course, I had to jump on this cute design. 🇺🇸🦅🩵
