On a date

"You'll be good for your big sisters, right?" Corrin asked, pulling on his nice coat.

Kana saluted happily, sticking her tongue out the side of her mouth. "Yes Papa!"

Corrin shot a look towards Sakura and Elise. Sakura was holding a small bag full of Kana's overnight supplies which, of course, included her old, stuffed dragon. Elise was grinning ear-to-ear and rocking back and fourth on her heels.

"I can tell you're excited." Corrin deadpanned, staring at Elise. The blonde simply grinned wider in response. Corrin dropped his arms to his side, huffing once and staring at Kana.

Kana stepped forward and hugged her father. "I love you Papa!" Corrin smiled and patted her head, messing her hair slightly.

"Love you too." Corrin said, opening the door from Sakura's room. "If you need me, you know where Flora and I will be. Send a flier if it's an emergency."

"Yes, big brother." Sakura said with a simple bow.

"Right, right! Now go! I want to bond with Kana!" Elise giggled, shoving Corrin out the door and shutting it tight behind him. It was quiet in the entrance way for a few moments, Kana unsure of what to do in front of her aunts. She had had little time to get to know them, and was looking forward to spending an overnight with them, but she still knew little of how to act with them.

Elise spun around quickly, her twin-tails flying. "Now then!" She cheered, pumping a fist in the air. "What do we play first?"

Snow fell softly from the mountaintops, drifting down onto the small Hoshidian resort. Nestled high in the rocky mountains close to the border, the resort was barren of life. Save for Corrin, Flora, and the owners, no one else occupied the beautiful vacation spot. Being in the middle of a war probably had some effect on tourism this time of year.

Corrin drew Flora closer with a single arm. The woman was simply wearing a robe, her face perfectly content and at peace. Corrin, on the other hand, was wrapped in quite a few layers of clothing. Being in the Ice Tribe had quite a few benefits, especially in this climate.

"Corrin?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Thank you for the wonderful anniversary present..." Flora smiled widely and leaned her head against Corrin's shoulder as they both stared out across the mountains.

"You know..." Corrin began, reaching into his pocket. "Being in the middle of a war against an all-powerful dragon-god and his invisible army is stressful." He chuckled. "But, I'm glad we found time to spend at least one day here. I...ah...also got you this..." Corrin held out his hand and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, face flushed. Flora stared at him for a moment, eventually looking down to the prince's outstretched hand.

A single tear-drop shaped necklace sat in his hand, a silver chain coiled around the accessory. A sparkling blue gem rested inside the tear-drop, a snowflake drawn on the top with what looked like silver or diamond.

"C-Corrin...this is..."

"Happy anniversary, love."

"Uuu..." Flora breathed out, her face flushed. The wind began to pick up around them as snow began to fall faster and faster, until it seemed like a tornado itself was formed around the couple. "I'm so happy!" Flora cried, burying her face in Corrin's chest.

Corrin grinned and withstood the snow and ice swirling around them. Flora was worth it.

"Kana? We're back!" Corrin called, opening the door slowly. Corrin's jaw dropped when he saw the inside of Sakura's room. Tables and chairs were overturned, plates and other small items strewn about the floor. Paintings hung sideways on the walls and Corrin swore he smelt something burning.

"Hi-ya!" A cry came from down the hallway, startling the prince.

Suddenly, Kana slid around the corner, in her dragon-form. Sakura was riding the small girl, broom held like a lance. Some sort of lipstick-turned-warpaint was drawn on the Hosidian Princess' face, making Sakura look like an entirely new girl.

Elise appeared after them, trash can lid and what looked like a table leg in hand. "Get back here dragon! I'll save the princess!"

Corrin rolled his eyes and shut the door. Kana could play a little longer. Besides, Flora was still unpacking in their room...alone. Corrin smirked as he stepped away from Sakura's room.
