Luke

To my quarters...it'll be easier to rest there.

[Nodding and taking her hand. Her will guide her to his room.]

[Grinning. And nodding.]

Yes, we should. It hurts so much...and you're the only one that can help me, Heidrun.

Oh. Um. Yes.

[Lying.]

I also just missed you.

Milk...

"You look tired..."

He sits across from her with a small smile. "I think you need a break."

A pleasure to meet you, Linde! Are you busy at the moment? I'd like to speak with you more, if that's okay.

It's merely true! I'm Luke. May I have the name of the beautiful woman before me?

But if I had to say...the current outfit you wear is the best one.

....sorry you're really pretty in all three of these.

...would

"Hehe." Luke chuckles, leaning in to kiss her cheek once more. His arm wraps around her waist once again.

"But tonight, there's no need for that. You're all mine. You'll just have to forgive me, I have no intention of letting you go until morning~"

"It wouldn't be a lie! After all, don't you always wanna talk to me?" He responds with a curious brow and a playful grin.

"I wouldn't make you do something that would tarnish your reputation~"

Good! Follow me. We'll settle this the best way I know how.

"Seems like you know me too well, too." He laughs. He absolutely would have tried it. Good to know it works.

"Hm. That is a scary thought...but if I said you asked to discuss something with me, I think I could manage...especially since I know you'd help me out." He winks.

Oh, I'll prove it alright. Mighty as you may be, I have no intention of falling behind you. Believe me.

"I have a good memory. So I knew my chances were high. But if not, I'd look like quite the fool." He adds with a playful laugh, seating himself next to her for the company.

"Or I would've just had to come to your room instead. Surely you wouldn't have minded~?"

I can take Edelgard.

Once she steps inside, he closes the door behind her. When she's seated, he pulls over the small table.

He had some tea prepared and pours her a cup before handing it over. "I prepared to have you over tonight. I wanted to treat you a little before anything...else~"

He teases.

"I'm glad you think so~" Luke looks like a pretty happy guy right now.

He guides Rhea to his room, opening the door for her to step in first. "After you. And please, make yourself comfortable as always, my love."

"Excellent. Sounds like you're all mine for the night then." When she presses against him, he laughs a bit.

"In that case..." He moves to take her hand, lacing their fingers together.

"Tea in my room? Just you, me, and the night to pass by."

"You deserve nothing but the best. For the time being, could I borrow your time for a simple evening now? I like spending time with you."

He gives her waist a small, affectionate squeeze. "Every day with you is a wonder."

"Of course I do! I want to show you a good time. And make it as memorable as possible.

Plus, I do like the added bonus of having you on my arm. You're so beautiful, after all." He grins, giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

👁👁

"I sure am! I've been eager to spend it with you."

He smiles, carefully wrapping an arm around her waist to pull her closer.

@fodlanarchbishop.bsky.social "Hey, Rhea. Are you prepared for the Day of Devotion?"

....Whew.

Just the way I like it.

Guess we're here for a bit.

Hoping she does....

Clearing his throat.

"Hello there...!"
