#（◈）▸ ʟᴇᴛ’s sᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ sᴇᴇᴅs ᴏғ ᴍɪʀᴀᴄʟᴇs. ( verse: fire emblem heroes )

[heartswayed]

“...i hope you realize just how lucky you are, xander.” 

   your voice is soft, red eye fixed firmly on angry scarlet marks covering far, far too much of your older brother. in your hands is a staff, alight with the soothing glow of healing magic, and for the umpteenth time you wish elise or sakura were here. they’re better than this than you are. they’re real healers, with actual experience... not a beast with a sword and some small capacity for magic. part of you was tempted to let one of the castle healers take care of him, but the showdown between surtr and xander had led to many more injuries than just his... it wouldn’t be right to refuse your part.

   at the least, you can do something until a professional gets to him. you take solace in that. you... you know you haven’t been very kind to him, especially here in embla, but xander is still your older brother. you... do not wish to see him hurt. 

   ( flames still flicker in the corner of your mind, siegfried clashing with sinmara as xander duels the muspellian king. you shield veronica, unable to take your eye off the battle... and in the end she gave herself up anyways, leaving you in the dust with no clue how to proceed. )

“please, hold still. i’m no elise.” 

@valorwilled​ because i have no self control

@emblan​ sent...  “ are you looking down on me ? ” ( prompt. )

“not at all, your highness. i apologize if i sounded patronizing or condescending. it... it wasn’t my intent.” 

   you wonder if it would be your place to sit down next to princess veronica and give her what seems to be a sorely-needed hug. the scattered, headless dolls ( and doll heads ) littering the room indicate some sort of frustration, and you think you know what might have set her off in such a way: prince bruno had sent word that his return would be delayed for another few weeks. he had found an interesting lead in ylisse and decided to pursue it, if the rumour mill was anything to go off of. and... this wouldn’t been the first time it’s happened.

   ( you understand why prince bruno is travelling from world to world without cease, but it makes your blood boil that an older brother would go so long without at least checking in on his sister, especially after all that she’s been through in the past few months. )

“i know what it’s like to miss your family... when i was younger, xander and the rest of our siblings were not allowed to visit me very often. it was... it was terribly lonely.” xander’s name feels like acid ‘pon your lips, and you struggle not to grimace at the mention of him in front of veronica. “it... it hurt me, knowing there was so much they were doing and seeing without me, having fun together... and i wasn’t even allowed to leave the fortress...”

you didn’t know that things in castle krakenburg were just as turbulent as your situation at the time, but that doesn’t matter.

“i... if you would prefer to be alone right now, i understand. but... if you would like to talk, or cry, or... anything, really, i am here for you. you don’t have to go through this pain alone, princess. that is... all i wanted to say.”
