The night is still young and the stars are still bright. One of them flashes and falls, Corrin gasped and watched it burn out quickly. Closing her eyes she said a prayer of thanks and wished for lasting peace. When she opened her eyes the first thing she looked at was Lilith's temple. Tall and majestic, it stood to represent everything the dragon had: peace, tranquility and kindness.
She closed her eyes again, allowing the warm night to soothe her as she said another small prayer, thanking Lilith for her sacrifices.
Opening her eyes once more she is shocked to be staring into the eyes- er, eye- of Saizo. He in perched on the edge of the balcony like a cat, and staring right at her. "Erk, don't do that! I told you to stop sneaking up on me!" She'd fallen back onto her butt, and had to gather herself as she stood back up.
Without hesitation he dryly responded with "Yes, but it's fun. Ryoma and Sakura are on their way over here. Kagero is with them. This is just a forewarning." With that he disappears, not even leaving behind dirt from his shoes to prove he was there. In fact, she didn't think she could prove he was there even if she tried. Oh well.
Ryoma was on his way over. She knew he was always busy, so it meant a lot whenever he made time for her. Because Sakura was with him, it was safe to assume they were out lighting lanterns, the young healer's favorite activity.
'Oh, Sakura.' Corrin thinks airily. Recently she'd been trying her hardest to bond with the small red- head. Their relationship was stable from the beginning, but never wholeheartedly complete. Her absence had, apparently, taken its toll on their bond the most.
Sakura had no recollection of their memories at all, and they had a hard time rekindling any sibling- spark that could have originally been there. She leaned against the side of the wall for support and rubbed her temple as she pondered how she'd improve the heaven on earth she called home.
'Maybe a separate school house for the kids? Dwyer, Midori, Sophie, Selkie… Kana." Her face grows warm thinking of her tiny bundle of joy. About now he was probably already in bed. She'd see him when she walked back to her own private quarters, but for now she was fully enjoying her 'Corrin time.'
"Ah, sister. Do you want any company? Jacob told me I'd find you here." Xander is standing in the frame of the entrance, radiating the powerful presence she'd come to find comfortable after many years of living in the cold walls of Nohr. "Hello, brother. I'm just taking time to think." The pure moon and summer beetles cast sharp shadows across his face, making him look even more commanding than any daylight picture.
He nodded and walked beside her, "My men, natives to Nohr, wish to return soon." Corrin, shocked to hear this turned to stare "Why so? I've- We've- provided all they could require…" The elder prince smiled without looking back at her "All but home, sweet sister. Effie, Arthur, Selena, Beruka… even my own retainers. They wish to return home."
Running his fingers through his hair he sighed "It's naught against you, they simply yearn for their own." Corrin nodded, she could sympathise with that. "Alright, when?" "Soon."
The conversation dropped off, Corrin leaned over and hugged his arm quickly before stepping back and nodding once more. Xander wasn't used to such displays of affection, so it's understandable when he coughs into his fist uncomfortably and leans forward to give her a quick peck to the forehead and bid her good night. His fast retreat almost makes her giggle.
Corrin turned her attention back to the beautiful realm of revelations before her, "Nobody can leave me alone." she scoffs under her breath. The yards are still full of buzz and commotion, the air is still warm. To the royal warrior, the night was eternally youthful, and more potent than a thousand armies.
