Rosa, Rydia. Edward is...

Edward is...

[He cannot finish that sentence, but those last few words are rather obvious.]

...Why can Johto not give without taking, for once?

[And that is all Cecil has to say.]

I cannot think of anyone I would rather stand by.

[ Even if......she'd seen his ring earlier, and she knew what it meant. He was married, and so she really shouldn't be telling him these things. But even if he just wanted her as a friend, she was willing to oblige. ]

Standing by my side will be far from easy, even if I believe the good outweights the bad.

[Seventeen years of happiness is worth a thousand times more than the difficulties of saving the world twice, in his mind.]

Sometimes, the most important things are the most difficult. But we do them anyway.

[ Small smile. She can handle the pain, if it's for him. ]

Important. That's a great understatement. The enemies we have fought - will fight - are beings we never could have imagined. Who would have thought the world could be filled with so many powerful beings?

...There are a great many battles left to go, aren't there? [ It's almost not really a question; she knows the answer, after all. ] But if the future ahead of us is bright....then we fight on, regardless of the foe.

More than we hoped for, less than we feared. And fighting them all was worth it, if only to create a peaceful world for the children.

[Especially one particular child.]

I'm glad. I'm glad we will have finally found the peace we sought, even if it was hard-won.

[ There's a part of her that's really quite curious about the future—does she have children? Does he?—but the more prudent part of her convinces her to bite her tongue. ]

It might have been hard-won, but it also allowed us to build friendships with like-minded people from all over the world. I have to admit, thinking that we would not have met them otherwise feels strange.

[Giving him an excuse to brag and ramble on about Ceodore, while a cheering thought, would probably be a bad idea.]

[ It's probably a good thing she got distracted by another thought, then! ]

....You sound like the king I always knew you could be.

[ Smiling because. It's nice to hear him sound so...confident, for a lack of a better word, in comparison to his troubles back home. ]

[He starts laughing, at little.]

That is the fruit of many hours of practice, I'm afraid. Though I did appreciate it whenever you witnessed me talk to the mirror yet did not laugh at me.

[Even if he must have looked ridiculous at times.]

[ Now full-on grinning. ]

I would never, Cecil! Not where you could hear me, at least.

Laughter, hidden behind my back? My pride, it has been slain.

[But he's grinning back just as much.]

I'm sure it would take more than a girl's laughter to decimate your pride, your highness.

[ This is not flirting, okay. It's teasing. Friends totally tease each other, okay. ]

That would depend very much on the girl, my lady. Beautiful women tend to be particularly efficient at decimation.

[That's a shame, because Cecil himself totally is flirting.]

Then I should hope no beautiful women overhear your practicing, lest your confidence be truly lost.

[ But if it were flirting, then she'd be flirting with a married man. :/ Even if his wife is her future self. ]

It's happened all too often, sadly. Luckily, I've heard no laughter from that particular beautiful lady.

[It's not cheating if she's the wife! ...Probably.]

Perhaps your lady would like to spare you the pain?

[ If Rosa were trying to think how she would feel as the wife in this situation, it would just make her head hurt. ]

Such generosity and kindness! My heart is touched by that care.

[...Sleeping with a younger woman is still a dickish move, though.]

Sounds like you've got a keeper, then.

[ fff yeah. NOT THAT SHE'D EVER LET IT GET TO THAT. There are certain boundaries you don't cross, okay. ]

I certainly do, lucky me.

[Such as the boundary created by Cecil's form-clinging shirt?]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ askjfs this is one situation where Cecil's heavy-ass armor would actually be preferable. ]

...Thank you.

[Even with the risk of getting a shoulder spike in the eye?]
