Of course. That's easy to arrange.

[She won't fight him on that, not right now.]

And...how have you found life with Bernadetta and Leslie? The latter seems very eager to please.

[They knew what those were for, of course they'd leave them alone.]

Leslie, at least, is a witch, so less prone to changes and wild outbursts. I don't even know what Bernadetta's final transformation may bring.

[She's not encountered any Fae yet.]

I've rather high hopes that the arrangement will work out, I admit.

She seems eager to learn. I don't think that will be an issue.

[Though he's right. There is a potential problem there. Still, it's a manageable one.]

And I suppose so. Bernadetta was warned in advance, and I told Leslie how skittish she could be before they moved in. That seems to have helped.

Perhaps.

[She won't claim all the credit. Leslie and Bernadetta both also seemed fond of him.]

...and I don't know. Your familiar is decidedly lethargic, most of the time. It's also fairly easy to deal with. Heidi hasn't been upset by it, so why would they?

[...it's a snake...]

Well, she is a cat.

[#Cats.

The blood, though. Edelgard nods.]


I do, yes. It makes the taste a tad more bitter than I would like, but it makes it more...filling.

[Hubert would have a field day if there was a Reddit on alchemics.]

It is dreadful, when it's lukewarm. Though, it feels fine for the purposes I need it for.

[Edelgard really doesn't mind if it's deteriorated a bit. It's still enough to get nourishment from, and it's a bitterness that she'll get used to.]

I'm not using monster blood, merely the animal blood we get from the butcher's shop. It's not precisely rich in magic to begin with, but it simulates the purpose of tea well enough. A simple pick-me-up between meals rather than any true sustenance.

[But he's got a point. Perhaps there is a way...]

However, I'll take your advice regarding summer teas and experiment using the more magical blood and see if that removes the need to drink it straight.

They do. Witch and Monster bloods tend to taste the best but animals are fine, though I do find chicken blood quite bland. It seems to vary based on diet, though. Anything that eats meat seems to be a bit richer, though I've yet to pin that down.

[Which...is a subtle way of bending the conversation towards another topic she needs to cover.]
unyieldingmarch: <user name=crimsonflower> (Mourning)

[personal profile] unyieldingmarch 2020-02-19 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
True. And that's fine. I have never been one to eat for the sake of eating.

[She's not like some of their allies at home at all.

Drat though, she had intended for him to pick up on the mention of Witch blood. Oh well, so much for subtlety. Her stomach rolls, doing a nervous flip, but there's no shame in it. Just embarrassment.]


...And, I suppose. I have a confession to make. Regarding several things, that I have no doubt you noticed thanks to our bond.
unyieldingmarch: <user name=crimsonflower> (Shame)

[personal profile] unyieldingmarch 2020-02-24 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Corrin and I, during the festival...

[She...actually falters. Does she want to say this...really? She should. He's owed an explanation for what he undoubtedly felt.

Her gaze flicks away, extremely embarrassed, but she doesn't back down.]


...We spent the evening together. Intimately. It was...it was a very sudden decision, and I was not sure of how to mask the bond. I apologize, if that caused you any discomfort.
unyieldingmarch: (Turning Dramatically)

[personal profile] unyieldingmarch 2020-02-24 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Edelgard lifts her tea cup to cover her mouth, taking a sip with a somewhat shaky hand. It's not as though she expected or needed his approval, but given how she'd struggled to even find a way to put it into words, more of a reaction would have been appreciated.]

I don't know if it will happen again. I suspect I overindulged in wine a little too much, and will be more mindful of that.

If something does happen...I will attempt to warn you.

[Maybe he knows a way to mask the bond. Or at least, so he can brace himself.]

Thank you, for understanding. And your patience. There is a lot to these bonds that I had not considered when we arrived. That...being one of them.
unyieldingmarch: <user name=crimsonflower> (Contemplate)

[personal profile] unyieldingmarch 2020-02-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct.

[She doesn't know if it will happen again. She is not against the idea, plainly, and sees no reason to lie about it. Intimate moments were rare for her, the opportunities to have them even more so, but she would not rule out anything that made her happy. Not in a world like this, where she was going through so much that was outside of her control.

But she also could tell he was uncomfortable, and so decided not to dwell on it, or force him to.]


Leslie has told me of the incident with the Turnskin. You are alright, yes?

[Oh yes, Uncle Hubert.

Well, we can't have him too comfortable can we?]
unyieldingmarch: <user name=crimsonflower> (Genial)

[personal profile] unyieldingmarch 2020-02-26 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I would have.

[And if the girl came to harm, there would be hell to pay.]

But...I think it's good that she's quick witted. That could have been bad.

[Hehe.]

I won't tease you further, I do appreciate you looking out for her, too.
