[gods dammit. of course this isn't like the world is at stake, but even so! her heart hurts as she trips all over this. she's the sort of person to follow her instincts, but...where's the instinct for this?!
rather than take her free pass out to retreat, Lucina remains rooted in place. she peeks out between her fingers to glance his way sidelong, her stomach a knotted mess.]
Everything that's...already come and gone...
[her fingers curl into a fist, withdrawing from her jaw so she can hug her arms to herself.]
And regardless of what I could and couldn't see ahead of me...you stood up and...took a place beside me. And in the parts where you weren't there...I wanted you there.
So when I do go lay down...I'll want you there.
[what was that about lacking instinct? somehow, even in the bleakest of situations, Lucina's heart finds a way to convey itself with some clarity. there's more flickerings of that when she looks back up and fixes her eyes on him, her expression strained.]
