He sat alone in his tent, running his fingers over the long white scarf that Cordelia had given him. He always did this when he felt out of sorts. Henry sighed, he was no Chrom, he knew that. How could he win the affection of the person he so greatly loved when she loved another? The dark mage stashed the scarf back into its hiding place with a small frown.

Fate was cruel to the Plegian that day as the one person he didn't want to see, opened his tent flap and peered in.

"Henry, I need to speak with you."

It was Chrom.

"O-oh! Chrom, what brings you by my tent?" He replied innocently, masking his annoyance. He wished the exalt would just leave.

"I just wanted know what was wrong?"

Give me a break! Henry tilted his head to the side slightly. "Nothing's wrong, why would you think something's wrong?" He feigned innocence.

"Well... First of all, you don't have your usual grin."

Gee, I wonder why!

"Secondly you haven't made a single pun in a whole week."

That's beCAWS of you!

"And finally, you didn't seem interested in yesterday's battle. I thought you loved seeing-" he paused mid-sentence. "Blood."

Oh, I do! Especially annoying prince's blood! The dark Mage replied cooly. "I've just been heavily deep in thought lately... Now if you don't mind, I would like to get to sleep now."

"O-oh...alright then...Please don't be hesitant in approaching me if you want to talk." Chrom awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, confused at Henry's responses, or lack of them. He hastily left the Plegian's tent, wanting to escape the icy atmosphere.

"Yeah I'll be sure to do that," Henry said sarcastically. The Exalt's visit had only succeeded in worsening his already sour mood. He sighed again and reached for his scarf. Sitting on his cot he hugged it closely. The animal-lover felt his eyelids grow heavy as sleep finally overtook him.

"Where is he?" The Pegasus knight mumbled to herself as she emerged from her tent. She had spent so much time with Henry as of late, it felt strange not being in his presence. Cordelia had come to care for the dark mage and seeing him so sad lately made her heart ache.

"If only I could cheer him up as easily as he does me."

Cordelia made her way to the training area in hopes of finding him. Sure enough, there he was, aggressively using an Arcfire tome at a training dummy, roasting it.

"H-Henry?"

The said man whirled around at the feminine voice. "Hey-o, Cordelia!" His face brightened and his signature smile returning to his face upon seeing the beautiful woman.

"What are you doing, there won't be any thing left of that dummy if you keep this up."

"Nya ha I know! Isn't it awesome! Fire is so cool. It's like, something so small can turn into something huge and can kill so many people! Ah, just think of all the blood!" Henry received a confused look from the Pegasus knight as he continued to ramble on excitedly.

"Anyway, did you need something Cordelia?"

She had wanted to offer her comfort knowing he wasn't in the best of moods lately, but strangely, he seemed cheerful enough now.

"I know Ill never be as good as Chrom." He started suddenly, surprising the red-haired woman, and snapping her out her train of thought. The Plegain took a deep breath. "But I though, if I could become stronger, then maybe you would love me...like I do you..."

Cordelia gasped, her mouth hit the floor. "...Wait...what!?" She blinked quickly in astonishment and disbelief. "You...love me?"

"Yeah, and I have for ages! I just knew that I-"

The dark mage was cut of as the knight affectionately pressed her lips against his. The couple parted for air and Henry had a huge grin plastered on his face, "Nya ha! What was that for?"

"I feel the same, I've found myself thinking less and less of Chrom, and more or you." She gave him a loving smile. He had mended her broken heart and saved her from her seemingly endless heartache. Now she could live her life with Henry, and forget about Chrom- mostly.

"That's awesome! I can't wait to tell my feather friends!"

The female Shepard raised an eyebrow, "Feather friends?"

"Yeah, the crows, beCAWS they have feathers."

Cordelia smiled to herself, this was the Henry she had grown to love.
