After the meeting with Mikoto the now reunited family sat down to dinner. Hinoka sat opposite Corrin, Ryoma to Corrin's left at one end of the table, Mikoto sat on the end oppsite Ryoma, Takumi sat next to Hinoka and Sakura sat next to Corrin watching mess up time and again with the chopsticks. Corrin growled
"I miss my fork," Corrin muttered. Takumi snorted at Corrin's statment
"Takumi be nice to your brother," Mikoto said
"He's like a child using them," Takumi responded
"Corrin was raised in Nohr his whole life so forgive him for being used to the cutlery from there," Hinoka snapped. Takumi and Hinoka continued to argue while Corrin ketp on failing.
"Big brother do you want some help?" Sakura asked.
"Yes please," Corrin sighed. Sakura observed Corrin trying to operate the chopsticks.
"Um... Big brother you're holding them wrong" Sakura said "Let me help," Sakura took Corrin's chopsticks and adjusted them in his hands.
"They're uncomfortable like this," Corrin complained
"I know but it's either that or one of us feeds you," Sakura said stuttering
Corrin took a deep breath as he tried to pick up the food only to have it fall back into the bowl. Corrin let out an animalistic growl hitting the bowl sending the food across the tabel and stormed off. Stopping the argument Takumi and Hinoka were having.
Corrin muttered various Nohrian colourful cuss words as he wondered the palace grounds eventually finding himself at a shrine. The sand was neatly raked the simple stone pathway leading up to a white marble dragon with two cherry blossom trees flanking to the left and right. Corrin walked down the pathway there was no bench so he simply sat looking up at the dragon.
"I don't fit in anywhere," The young prince mumbled to himself. Out of habit he rubbed the edge his upper Canines against his lower lips longer than normal and sharper than a wardogs. This sparked thought. Not the good kind. His eyes glowed red like fresh coals and under extreme emotional stress they became slits. His nose more sensitive tha any Human. His Incisors had tiny serrations on them. Not to mention his ears pointed like some animal and just as sensitive.
"I'm a freak," Corrin Lamented
"Not to me," A Quiet voice spoke making Corrin jump
"Who's there? Felicia?" Corrin said standing and turning
"Sorry, It's just me," Sakura said stood at the top of the path. Corrin sighed out of relif and anguish. Sakura walked down the path as Corrin sat facing the dragon again. A long heavy silence ensued.
"Corrin who's Felicia?" Sakura asked curiously. Silence continued as Corrin considered how to respond.
"Felicia is my personal maid and retainer," Corrin responded hopping Sakura's curiosity would be satisfied. The silence continued for seemingly hours
"Do you miss them?" Sakura asked
"Sorry?" Corrin said looking at Sakura
"Your family from Nohr. Do you miss them?" Sakura repeated with context
"Yes," Corrin simply said
"What are they like?," Sakura asked hoping it would put him at ease and improve his mood.
"My big brother Xander is calm, always willing to speak his mind, I'd even say he's a father figure if it weren't for Gunter. My big sister Camilla is some times a bit too caring always worried if I'm eating or sleeping or training enough. My younger brother Leo is the best mage I know, the fact he gets better each day pushes me to a better warrior. And finally my little sister Elise, she's the positive light of Nohr in a shroud of negativity. I love seeing her smile and her giddiness it's quite infectious," Corrin said with a small smile
"Wow," Sakura responed
"I know how can I love my captors," Corrin sighed
"No I've only been told that they are terrible people who can only do wrong and yet you describe with as much love and adoration as I would the others," Sakura said
"I guess it's just perspective," Corrin responded casually
"Big Brother will you stay here," Sakura asked.
Corrin sighed. "I don't know. It's peaceful and happy here but Nohr as terrible as it is has this homey feel to it,"
"Whatever choice you make don't do it because of us do it because you think it's right. If that happens. Alright?" Sakura Yawned. Corrin soon followed suit along with his stomach growling.
"Sakura this is where you've been. Hope you haven't been attempting to court Corrin," Mikoto said. The two quickly stood and turned around.
"Mother don't say such rediculous things!" Sakura shouted extremely red.
"Good he's chasing someone already," Mikoto said walking down the path way with small plate of onigri.
"Mother must you really?" Corrin moaned
"Yes, and I brought you some food," Mikoto responded. offering the plate to Corrin. Corrin happily took the food.
"Wait brother is already after someone?" Sakura asked
"Yes his retainer," Mikoto responded.
"Felicia?" Sakura asked.
"You know?" Mikoto asked in return.
"Only retainer I know of," Sakura responded
"That's a good point, Dear who's your other retainer? usually you pick two," Mikoto asked. By this point Corrin had cleared the plate and recovered from his embarrassment
"Her twin sister Flora," Corrin responded as casually as he could. Corrin yawned yet again, looking up at the cloak of night.
"Mother where's my room?" Corrin asked.
"Ah yes I'll take you there now," Mikoto said about to guide Corrin to his room until Sakura hugged Corrin.
"I enjoyed talking to you, goodnight brother," Sakura said letting and going off to her room
"Night Sakura," Corrin waved.
