She is a capable fighter, I agree. Perhaps she'd join us for training someday? I may extend an invitation. [He wants an excuse to see her again.]

Sylvain, I admit, I'm impressed that you've been applying yourself so much here. [It must have been the war that changed him...

A sobering thought.]

And I'm glad you're able to learn what interests you, rather than simply what's necessary.

Unfortunately, I am not sure I will be able to smile the way you are imagining.

But I will try, in appreciation for your hard work.

Will that suffice?

Please do. Then I'll get to stand back and watch for once~

[He's joking... kind of. Probably.]

Haha I always apply myself when it's important.

Though I admit, finding myself without the magic I'm used to here was unsettling enough to be a... good enough motivation to apply myself more than I might have otherwise.

Any smile from you will make the hard work worth it~

Not so, Sylvain. I expect you to be in the fight with us. You've done so well maintaining your side of our agreement, and although you've fulfilled my request, I do hope I continue to see you at the training grounds.

I've enjoyed our time together.

Unsettling? Were you feeling threatened? [By the imperial presence, OBVIOUSLY]

That's too kind, really.

I must warn you that my teeth seem to be changing, so I cannot promise a princely visage.

Perhaps it could be arranged if you make more frequent appearances at our training hall...

I have enjoyed our time together as well.

Haha perhaps I was feeling threatened... Perhaps it's just been so long since I first learned how to perform magic that it felt strange without the knowledge...

[It was both. Definitely both.]

No such thing as too kind, Dimitri.

And don't worry, I've grown accustomed to seeing such changes - your visage will be as princely as it always is, because it's yours.

I'll concede at least to inviting Allura to your training grounds, will that suffice?

If you ever feel as if you're in danger, please do not hesitate to tell me. I am well aware of the tenuous situation between us, and I won't suffer any incursions on whatever peace we've come to make. [Temporary though he may believe it to be.]

No, this is certainly too kind.

There's no reason to lay it on so thick with me, Sylvain. Your company and willingness to help with my whim of a project is enough.

Speaking of, I intend to follow through on my end of our deal. I'm available any night this week, if you'd like.

It will for now. Lance has been over relatively frequently anyway, as I've been training him with a... well, with a lance, haha.

I will, Dimitri, thank you. And I trust you'll come to me as well, should you feel the same. [He also strongly believes it's only a matter of time before they get up to something shady...]

Hm. Well, if it is too kind, then I don't mind being too kind to you.

...Though I'm not laying it on thick, am I? I haven't been meaning to... Ah.

I would like to hold up your end of our deal, yes. I think I've found somewhere you might enjoy~

I can't imagine you training someone... I'd love to attend a session if you'll allow it.

I assure you there's no need to worry about my safety. I will take care of myself, and call on you if things get out of hand. [press x to doubt]

I simply meant that your compliments aren't necessary - I do feel like I can be your friend. And I'm happy you feel the same.

I'll look forward to our night together - where are we going?

He asked me to... did you expect me to say no? But of course you're more than welcome to attend. I'll even train you, too, if you'd like, haha.

Dimitri... please call on me before things get out of hand.

[Pls...]

But I'd like to compliment you. You deserve to hear nice things.

You'll just have to wait and see~~

[He expected you to give some vague non-committal agreement and then try to get out of it...] Oh? I'd be eager to see your technique.

[TEACHING not anything sultry

also casually ignores Sylvain's insistence that Dimitri lets his friends help him

no never]

Whether or not I deserve to hear them... it's a bit difficult to know how to react.

I'm sorry if I've said something misplaced.

Let me know where to meet you and when, and I'll make myself available.

Also, before I forget, I have mentioned the idea of beam weapons to a certain blacksmith. His name is Percy, and he seems to run shop with a co-owner Hiccup.

Touch base with them if you can, perhaps you could all work together.

[Look, this place can be dangerous, and the poor kid needs to be able to defend himself when he's away from the water... If that wasn't the case, he would have absolutely tried to get out of it, though.]

Then you're more than welcome to join us. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a different sparring partner than me from time to time, haha~

[Yes, teaching. He'd only suggest something sultry in person when he can see your cute reacting, Dimitri, who do you take him for? An amateur?

Please let your friends help you, Dima...]

You don't have to know how to react. Just know I'll always be sincere with you. :)

Nothing you've said is misplaced, either.

Hm... how about tonight for dinner? I'll send you the address-

[Sends address!]

That is, if you're free. If you are not, then please let me know when you are~~

Haha you really are excited about this~ I will touch base with them as soon as I put together a theory, don't worry~

I will take your words to heart - but please do not think me infallible. If I am out of line, I trust you to tell me.

I am free tonight, yes. [he just has to steel himself up for being forced to flirt with girls...]

Please touch base with me along the way as well, I'm eager to hear of your progress.
