I would like to Sync with you.

[Okay, by this point Linhardt 100% knows phone etiquette. Every minute he isn't asleep or buried in study notes, he's following the GemScis around. He just doesn't care, in true Linhardt fashion.]

[blaiddydblood]

[ ...UHM???

This isn't the message he expected to receive today. ]

Hello, Linhardt. [ He'll be polite for him, it's okay. ] What brought this about?

[idratherbeasleep]

Hello, Dimitri.

[Just because he doesn't care about pleasantries doesn't mean he won't return them. Linhardt tries to treat people the way he would like to be treated; he doesn't like pleasantries so he doesn't initiate them.]

Bernadetta likes you and finds you trustworthy. I would like to confirm. Although the expression of emotions is controllable, the feelings themselves are less so and therefore Syncing seems to be the most efficient method for verification. Less than a minute should be sufficient.

[blaiddydblood]

[ Admittedly, he tunes out briefly as soon as he hears Bernadetta likes you. She does?

Is that like like him? Or just finds him friendly? His mind whirs momentarily before realizing wait, no, that isn't the point of this message. He can overthink that later. ]

[blaiddydblood]

I see, [ he finally answers, composing himself. ] If you believe it will be the most effective method, I am open to trying it.

[idratherbeasleep]

I do. When are you available? I'm available now, at 3 AM on Friday, or at 10 PM on Thursday. Unless I'm resting.

[He won't change his habits for Edelgard, he wouldn't change them for his parents, and he's not changing them for you.]

[bottomless_bowl]

Hey Dimitri

I have sort of a weird question for you.

[blaiddydblood]

Oh?
Ask away.

[bottomless_bowl]

So Detta and I got this thing from Red. It can display memories so you can watch them like a video on your phone. Really neat, right?

Which I mean, if there's ever anything from my timeline you want clarification on I can do that.

but there's a far more interesting use for these things.

[blaiddydblood]

[ He... has a bad feeling about this, suddenly, but also doesn't want to jump to conclusions. ]

That does sound convenient.
I may ask you for more information since apparently there's a lot that Rhea neglected to tell us...

But, what else can they be used for?

[bottomless_bowl]

Well sharing memories of more fun times!

Sometimes very fun times.

Maybe fun times Detta had.... with you....






if you're cool with it

[perfectteatime]

Now, you let me know if anything hurts or it's too tight my love. Say "Mercy", if it comes to that, all right?

[ He continues binding the soft rope over and around Dimitri's upper-body. It lays along his muscles in a pattern almost framing the curves of his form. Testing to make sure he can still slide two fingers underneath with little trouble, he determines it's not going to cut off any circulation.

The finishing touch is an ornate leather collar, trimmed with silver embroidered filigree and a thick metal ring at the front. He looks like a gift all wrapped up like this, and Byleth swallows, tongue sliding along his lower lip as he considers. ]

Lay back now, I'll take good care of you.

[ The way he's bound, it forces his body to bow outward, arched toward whatever Byleth has in store for him.

For his own part, he's only wearing his pants and boots, outside of the leather harness the shop clerk insisted would compliment his angular body, and it was on sale... He has to admit she was right. His hair is tied back into a messy ponytail for this, though it's proving to do little to keep it out of his eyes. He tried, cest la vie ]

Now. What do you want to play with first? Something hot, something cold, something that tickles, or something that stings?

[blaiddydblood]

[ While having been something he actually asked to try, Dimitri hadn't realized just how enjoyable it'd be. He was worried that it might be too reminiscent of being held captive all those years but it isn't. Nothing about this is the same as then and for that he's grateful. It might even help him make newer, more pleasant associations with being bound.

He likes the gentle rub of rope against his skin. The bindings are tight enough to likely leave red lines in their wake once removed - that will fade quickly enough - but not actually hurt. It feels- Secure. Is that the right word? He thinks so. And the blond likes that feeling of security, especially when it comes to being with Byleth.

Even the unnatural angle of his body as he leans back as requested doesn't feel awkward; it's a bit thrilling, really, to be so exposed and practically gift-wrapped all for his beloved. It certainly seems to be appreciated. Of course, Dimitri also appreciates the harness that he wears as much as the clerk had assured him he would. ]

So many options, I hardly know where to begin. [ He imagines that while they won't get to all of them today, well- Eventually. They have so much time now, after all. ] Tickles. [ He's resistant to cold and therefore fire might be too much. While the sting was enticing, he admits being curious to what might tickle instead. ]

[perfectteatime]

[ He truly does look absolutely delightful like this. Byleth can't help but run his hands over the taught muscles of his chest and torso, down to his thighs. Beautiful.

When Dimitri does make his selection, a rather mischievous smile spreads on Byleth's face. Oh-ho. He's going to enjoy this... and Dimitri hardly knows what he's just asked for. Not really. Byleth just nods happily and goes to rifle through his bag of goodies, emerging with a very familiar item;

A white owl feather. ]

Okay. We are going to play a game. It's called "what tickles more?" [ He's definitely just made that up. ] You're going to tell me what's worse, this? [ He waves the owl feather. ] Or this. [ He holds up his empty hand, wiggling his fingers menacingly. ] And you'll tell me where it tickles the most.

[ He starts nicely at least, tracing the tip of the feather along the cuff of Dimitri's ear, down his neck, drawing a line down until he flutters it under his arm, his spare hand mirroring the path on the other side, just light teasing fingertips, nothing too intense yet. ]

[blaiddydblood]

[ Isn't that nostalgic? He remembers being gifted one by the professor a time or two. He'd always appreciated the practicality of the gift; it seemed like Byleth always knew when he needed a new base to make a quill after shattering his previous one.

While he never imagined it would be used in this context, he's actually excited for its newfound use. ] A game, is it? This one seems quite fun. [ Of course, he does know that Byleth can be a bit more mischievous than he lets on so he's curious what's in store.

Each sensation is unique but ticklish in its own right. The owl feather is a light, airy drag against his skin that makes his hair stand on end. Byleth's fingers ghosting across his skin are warm but teasing and Dimitri can't help the way he squirms. Despite himself, he's laughing before he knows it and draws away only on instinct not displeasure. ]

[shootyourshot]

Your Highness, is it okay if we talk for a bit? If you have the time.

[blaiddydblood]

Of course, my friend.
Where would you like to meet?

[shootyourshot]

Well
Not anywhere public.
Things are a little tense.

So I guess either the Professor's estate or my house is fine.

[blaiddydblood]

Tense?

I can be at your residence shortly.

➵ DELIVERY | DECEMBER 25th

[shootyourshot]

[A letter and a small package arrives! The package contains a jar of potpourri.

The letter is as follows:]

Your HiDimitri,

I really had wanted to make you some cookies, but I realized that maybe it would be frustrating since you can't taste them conventionally. So, I spent some time personally growing a package. This is supposed to be potpourri, so you can smell it. I chose scents that are supposed to be relaxing, so if you feel anxious or upset, try to smell this and think about something nice!

Also, I wanted to make a list of things I admire about you, so you know how much you're appreciated.

- You're extremely handsome and I know I'm not the only person to think so! It's probably easy to feel hard on yourself after what you've been through, but trust me on this one, okay?
- You care so much about other people, no matter where they're from. Whether they're noble or a commoner, it's never mattered to you. And you love children! You're going to be an amazing father.
- No matter what difficulties you have faced, you're still standing here today. You're stronger than you know. You've battled just about everything, and I know you're probably still fighting with yourself right now, but I want you to know that I admire that deeply. You've been through so much and I can't even imagine that kind of pain, yet you still have so much compassion. You make me proud to be your knight.
- You and Byleth are great together! You really bring out the best in each other.

If you ever feel like you need a pick-me-up, just read my list!

Love,
Ashe

delivery / note | backdated to Dima's bday!

[redfeathers]

( On his porch a couple days before his birthday, Dimitri will find a small box neatly wrapped in blue paper and gold string. On top is a golden bow with flowing tags and a note tucked under the string.

Inside the box is a pair of black, leather gloves and an eye patch. The latter is similar to the one he wears now but the straps and back of the patch itself are softer.

The note that comes with it reads: )

A little bird told me you have a birthday coming up.

Hope these keep you comfortable and warm.

Happy birthday~

[imperializes]

Dimitri.

Pardon the intrusion, but you have experience with auditory hallucinations, yes? Merely a question, there is no judgment here.

[blaiddydblood]

I do, yes.
Not as much these days as before but... They were common enough for a long time I grew almost used to them.

[imperializes]

Apologies again if this is a sensitive topic, but if I may ask, what triggers the hallucinations?

[blaiddydblood]

There is no need to apologize.
If I may be of assistance, then I am glad to share my experiences.

For me, it is usually stress that makes it worse.
Sometimes, it is just something that reminds me of one of those who had fallen in battle and I hear their voice.
When the shadows of ourselves were present, the things it said... called forth other voices to join it as well.

[ He remembers hearing a mix of Glenn and his father's voice reverberating through his mind as it was hissed at him from his shadow. ]
