⠀ No need to blush, my goal is not to embarrass you. [ Not what he meant, Dimitri. ] ⠀

⠀ Time flies when you have busy hands. Faster than I'd like, admittedly. ⠀

⠀ Perhaps they thought it would be more polite to stay silent. Though if it were me, I would like to know sooner rather than later. Ah, but pardon the ramble. This is easily fixable. [He gestures to the same corner of his mouth again.] ⠀

⠀ There is always something that needs to be done. Recently more so. ⠀

⠀ Rain. It may wash blood off the battlefields, but the earth still remembers. ⠀

⠀ Nothing worth noting, I assure you. The weather merely reminded me of past battles. [There’s more than that, but Dimitri wouldn’t admit this even to himself.] ⠀

⠀ [It’s an… awkward sensation, to say the least, though not because the wrinkle between Dimitri’s brows is in part Sylvain’s doing. When was the last time someone embraced him? He stiffens.] Yes. Ahem. Thank you, Sylvain. [… It does feel nice.] ⠀

⠀ There are many ways I could respond to that question. ⠀

⠀ In truth? The weather. Rain has a way of summoning thoughts from the deepest recesses of one’s mind. ⠀
