Bonus 3:1 - Lilina
I rounded the corner of the Askran gardens
"Oh, there you are father…" I stopped short. "Ah, mother, you're here too. Sorry for interrupting."
"Wait. Was there something you needed Lilina?" Lyn asked.
"I, well…" I turned back to face them. My parents. I hadn't seen them together in years.
My heart hammered as I said, "I'm just so glad to see you two together that…" Tears leaked down my face. "I got so scared!"
I felt warm arms wrap around me, and my mother rested her cheek in my hair as she pressed the side of my face to her warm chest.
"Scared of what?" She asked softly.
"In this world… you two are both alive. You're young and happy and you fight by my side. It- It's all I ever wanted so… I'm j-just scared I… I won't want to go back to my world. I d-don't…I don't want to save a world without you guys in it!" I sobbed.
This time, my father's broad, strong arms embraced both Lyn and I.
"This time we have together… this is what I fight for. Even if it's brief, I know it will give me strength. Knowing you care this much… that's what makes me so strong," he explained.
"You almost sound like a Marquess, Hector," Lyn pointed out, and Hector's broad chest rippled against my back as he chuckled. I gave a happy sigh, feeling warm and safe surrounded by my parent's strength.
"Hearing that… I know you guys want me to live," I started as we broke the hug. "I'll fight, because you fought so hard for me. I'll carry on… your love for me and Lycia."
Bonus 3:2 - Lyn
"You know Hector, I was talking to Roy," I said as he took a seat next to me on the bench.
"Eliwood's boy, you mean?" He replied, and I laughed.
"You know, I trust him with Lilina. He told me that when you died, you told him to protect her. So he told me 'For you, Lord Hector, and Lilina, I will protect your daughter. And for me… I will guard her heart.' Isn't that sweet?" I asked, and he gave a disdainful snort. "His eyes looked like Eliwood's you know. He couldn't have been lying. With eyes so full of conviction... yeah, he'll keep his word."
"I know that but… I want to spend time with Lilina in this world. I feel like, even in our original world… I wouldn't want that boy stealing Lilina away when we have so little time left together," he explained.
"He has a name you know," I chuckled. "Sounds to me like you're jealous."
"I'm not," he argued, and I leaned my head onto his shoulder.
"I'm glad… that this is our future. I'll be able to help Lycia alongside you, raise a lovely daughter, no matter how short our lives are, mine will be full as long as I know I we can help each other and share moments like this," I thought aloud.
"Wow. That really caught me off guard, that's heavy. But someday Lyn… I swear, I'll tell you everything," he promised.
"Don't rush into things like you always do. Besides, you said it yourself. I have strength. The kind that will break down those walls of anger and grief surrounding your heart."
"You're welcome for that."
"No, you're welcome."
"Heh, love you."
"Love you too."
