[Truthfully speaking, this Ball was nothing more than a glorified dance class in Linhardt's mind. They were practically obligated to attend and partake, dancing with people and exchanging smiles and pleasantries; a ball like this was at least somewhat important to the nobility, Linhardt was sure, but as far as he was concerned? He had no business here, and the first chance he could get out, he took gladly.
He wasn't altogether sure about where to go, honestly; he could certainly just turn in for the night on his bed, or get back to his crest research, but there was another curiosity that he wanted to take a look at; the Goddess Tower. The details were a little fuzzy in Linhardt's mind, but he had heard some so-called rumors about what happened within the tower. Something interesting would happen if two people entered the tower...was it that they would be blessed by the Goddess if they shared a vow, or that they would be cursed for defiling her tower? Linhardt couldn't really recall off the top of his head, as it wasn't a topic that interested him too much, but...well, it was an interesting research opportunity and there was certainly a first time for everything.
But of course, he knew very well he wasn't exactly destined for much in the love department. As far as he was concerned, the Goddess Tower would be a once in a lifetime napping spot, and Linhardt intended to take the bait. It was surprisingly quiet, though he didn't doubt that there were people waiting to come in and try to find their 'true love', as they would likely call it. Linhardt finds his way to a nice spot within the tower, settling himself in for what's likely to be an interesting sleep, if nothing else.
Who knows, maybe he'll get to eavesdrop on some unlucky sap within the tower before he nods off, or perhaps even hear someone find the love of their life. The latter would certainly be a nice thought, for one of the others, perhaps. That would at least be interesting to hear...]

Honestly, it's kind of hilarious to see a genuine emotion from Linhardt. Even though he'd just been absolutely embarrassed by what was going on, he's now suddenly gifted with a wonderful opportunity to turn the tide of battle.
(Perhaps thinking of this like a tactics drill is not the way to go about it, but that's far easier than addressing what just happened.)]
I'm surprised you didn't notice. Were you truly that comfortable?
[The words are a bit sharp, pointed as he tries to turn this back on Linhardt, to make himself more comfortable.
Even now he's still more comfortable pushing people away.]
no subject
I...I knew not what I was doing until I woke up. It didn't even register to me that I was doing such a thing until...
[Well. You know. He's pretty sure he doesn't even need to say???
That isn't an answer to Hubert's question and Linhardt knows it, but he's hoping Hubert will back down or just walk away, at this point. Anything would be better than this? Is this the true goddess's curse? Because he hates it and he especially hates that sharp tone, this is about to be a bad time, isn't it.]
no subject
And here I thought you were the most experienced in napping. To think you'd lose control of yourself in such an undignified display... How embarrassing.
[The words are more harsh now, not quite dripping in venom and not sharpened by anger but pointed and aimed like a dagger. If he's perfectly honest with himself, he doesn't know why he's lashing out in his own undignified display, but for a moment it makes him feel like he has control again, like things are as they should be.]
no subject
I--I must have thought you were one of my stuffed--
[His words catch in his throat, dying and withering away, and he really can't deal with this anymore. But he can certainly run away from his problems--run as far away from them as humanly damn possible. And if Hubert's going to be a problem, then...
Well, Linhardt gets up, and he turns on his heel to walk away.]
Forget it. Go back to the library; I'm taking my leave of you.
[The words are harsh, forced out as Linhardt walks away in a manner that's faster than he's ever walked before. He's not sure if Hubert intends to pursue, but Linhardt doesn't care at this point.]
no subject
...
So why is there this sinking feeling in his chest, almost as if he's done something wrong? It isn't guilt - it certainly can't be guilt - but it's not a pleasant feeling and one that almost makes him want to give chase. Linhardt certainly can't be faster than him, he could catch up if he really wanted to.
He shakes his head as he moves to stand. Ridiculous.
Regrets, guilt - what need does he have for either of those? His duty is to Lady Edelgard and there is nothing in this world he could ever want more than assisting her. He has plenty of work to get back to, and he will not be interrupted again. Not by anything or anyone, and certainly not by feelings.
(He ends up making sure he doesn't overwork himself, and there isn't a repeat of the fainting incident. But that's just a coincidence.)]
no subject
Linhardt's...well, to most, he hasn't been acting any different than usual; he's always been one to shirk his duties and fuck off to nap elsewhere without any regard for his duties, his classwork, or the like. But he's been remarkably more evasive, lately, than most are used to; he's practically putting Bernadetta to shame with the sheer level of dedication to which he doesn't want to be found. There's always new hiding places to be found around the monastery, and Linhardt has been making some use of them for sure.
Hell, even while he's been in class (which he seems to be avoiding more than even usual), he's been distant. Linhardt doesn't really know why he's been cutting himself off so bad, lately, but...the last thing he wants to do is be bothered by others. Especially by Edelgard or Hubert; he's pretty sure if he saw either of them, he'd be liable to snapping at them, and...well, as much as Hubert deserves the snapping in Linhardt's eyes, he isn't really in the mood to actively piss off the house leader or her beleaguered second in command. His heart feels...well, it's been feeling vaguely empty as of late.
He's at least trying to ignore it, though, despite how...weird and distant it's making him, but surely it's fine.
Either way, it'a another day if barely being in class and avoiding everything like the plague, and Linhardt's actually stepping towards his room--he's got a hot date with his bed and pillow that he's absolutely not going to miss for the world, because he's very here to sleep right about now. As he's walking in, though, he feels his feet crunch on something, causing his eyes to dart to the floor.
His room is usually a mess of the highest order, so he usually doesn't pay any mind to stray papers, but...this isn't familiar to him at all. He's not sure what it's doing here, but...well, he's feeling a little nosy today.
Let's see what this is.]
no subject
Okay, so perhaps that's not entirely accurate. It wasn't a fight so much as it was a slaughter, and a completely unnecessary one at that. Had anyone else treated Linhardt in such an uncouth fashion, he would have stepped in. So obviously the only thing to do is to try to make amends and set things right, so at the very least the man will stop running.
Linhardt hasn't been around at all and even when he isn't working for Lady Edelgard or in class he's had a hard time locating Linhardt. That usually doesn't happen. Hubert has a good idea of where everyone - important or pointless - is in the monastery at any given time. So this...
Well, it isn't good to let anyone slip away from his notice. It's for the best if he patches things up and finds a way to get Linhardt to settle. It's for Lady Edelgard's sake, not his own.
(But that doesn't explain why he's had a few sleepless nights thinking back to that, or the way his chest tightens when he thinks he catches a glimpse of Linhardt, or the strange feeling of embarrassment that comes with anyone else noticing Linhardt's even more evasive ways.
If he's perfectly honest with himself - which he isn't - he might have to admit that it isn't entirely for Lady Edelgard's sake.)
He had decided he would confront Linhardt about all of this only three days after the incident. It was enough time to prove that Linhardt's absence would only prove to be more troublesome than it was worth. Unfortunately, Hubert doesn't really have the slightest idea how to go about this, much less... actually apologizing.
It was thanks to many of the other students that he even has some sort of idea what to do now, although things didn't always go as smoothly as he would have liked.
When he'd initially heard that offering a gift would help with an apology, his first thought had gone to sweets. Linhardt likes them (he's fairly sure), and how hard could it be to bake something? It seemed relatively easy, but it wasn't long before looking over recipes in the library had him realize that there was simply no way he was up to the task. Who knew cooking was so difficult?
Lysithea had caught him there, and she'd been just as curious as anyone else would have been why he was reading a cookbook. He hadn't told her the truth, of course - just that he was curious about preparing something for Lady Edelgard, a much more acceptable reason - and while she had looked like she was trying not to laugh, she had directed him toward Annette and Mercedes.
Getting them to agree to fix something for him was actually surprisingly easy. He had been prepared to offer them money for it, but they'd just given each other a knowing look and agreed before he could even offer.
Hubert would be lying if he said he hadn't felt mildly embarrassed about that one, but when he'd returned to pick up the sweets, they were exactly as the book had described.
He had been prepared to offer just the sweets as a gift, but when Professor Byleth had unceremoniously shoved a stuffed bear in his hands earlier today, he figured it couldn't hurt to pass it along to Linhardt. Hadn't he said something about a stuffed animal? Well, more gifts certainly wouldn't hurt.
The final piece of the perfectly-constructed puzzle was the letter. It had taken him countless attempts and more wasted paper than he'd care to count, but eventually it had been written neatly (then copied over to a clean piece of paper to make it even neater) and was folded and sealed. He had even avoided using House Vestra's seal, just in case Linhardt would ignore it outright on sight.
With all the preparations in place, he had slipped the note under Linhardt's door and returned to his own room to wait. Everything would be fine.
(And it was a bit ridiculous he had to convince himself of that.)
The letter reads as follows:]
Linhardt,
It is my understanding that you have hardly been around recently. Your presence has been missed by those in your house. I wish to set things right. Meet me at my room tonight.
- Hubert von Vestra
[...No one ever said it was a good apology letter.]
no subject
You know, Linhardt typically sucks with actual apologies that even attempt to not sound vaguely stilted and as if he's simply trying to imitate something genuine. But this? This makes him look emotionally competent, and that's saying something.
He knows very well that he could just crumble this letter up and throw it away--maybe send a message by tearing it apart and leaving it in front of Hubert's door, and never speaking to the man again. It'd be revenge for the humiliation he felt, but...an attempt at it, even a vague one, makes Linhardt feel vaguely sick to his stomach. He shouldn't feel like this. Not after what Hubert did, but the man went out of his way to send him this in the first place.
And...well, if this isn't some kind of trick, then Hubert did say he wished to set things right. And in some ways--a lot, actually--Linhardt wanted that to be true. He knew he was potentially opening himself up to getting messed with again. But if it would stop all of those thoughts that he missed Hubert, missed having him around to talk to, then...
Well, maybe it was a risk worth taking.
Linhardt's never been very prompt to anything that wasn't an appointment with a nap, but Hubert will actually hear a knock on the door in relatively prompt order by the time night rolls around.]
Are you there?
no subject
Right, but not right about the timing, and as such he's not entirely prepared when Linhardt arrives at his door.
The treats are neatly arranged in a basket with the stuffed bear behind them, centered on his desk where they can easily be seen as soon as he opens the door. His room is spotless, as it always is, and he's already putting the book he was reading away and making sure the others he's been working his way through for Lady Edelgard are out of sight, just in case. Linhardt is clever - too clever - and the last thing he needs is for the man to catch on to them before Lady Edelgard has time to prepare her plan and strike.
In short, everything should be ready, and yet as he looks at the door there's a sinking feeling in his gut that he's completely forgotten something. His room is neat, his appearance is just as it should be, why does that even matter anyway, though...
No more hesitation. He opens the door.]
Good evening, Linhardt. Would you care to come in?
[He opens the door further and inclines his head to indicate that Linhardt should enter. He's not doing this out in the hallway, okay.]
no subject
Hell, if Hubert's observant enough, he'll notice that Linhardt actually has the letter in his hand. Still, either way, he tips his head a bit in acknowledgement.]
Well, that is why you invited me here, is it not?
[His tone is the same as ever, but he will step inside when Hubert inclines his head. He rubs at his eyes a bit with his free hand, before taking a look around the room--his eyes set upon the basket first, tilting his head as he regards it, before dismissing it. No, that just has to be a gift he received, probably from Edelgard or something--]
I'm surprised you're bothering to go out of your way, at all.
[...Linhardt's never been good at not being blunt, but at the very least, while his tone is guarded, it's not biting at all.]
no subject
Linhardt has seen the gifts, but then he just... kind of ignores them... um. Hmm. Well, he'll address the words first, at least.]
It wasn't as though I had to go far out of my way.
[Defensive. Mistake number one. He inhales slowly and tries again.]
...My behavior last week was unacceptable.
[Straightforward, though perhaps a bit too blunt. It isn't a proper apology by any means, but it's at least a start.]
I wanted to...
[apologize, why is that word so difficult to say—
It doesn't come, and the pause lasts for far too long, so instead he gestures to the gifts.]
For you. Take them, if you want them.
[It's all still a bit too blunt, too short, and without nearly enough explanation or clarification. He had this rehearsed, the speech he intended to give memorized, and yet now he can't find the words he needs to make things right.
Is there even a way to make things right?
His posture is closed-off and it might look as though he's just trying to get this over with as quickly as possible, but if Linhardt looks closely, it's obvious that Hubert's not trying to be so brusque and brush him off, he's legitimately just this awkward.]
no subject
His look goes back to the basket when Hubert brings it up, and he's clearly startled when he realizes that all of this is for him.]
Wait...what? This is...
[There go those wild feelings in his chest again, and from the way he looks back and forth between Hubert and the basket, he...clearly isn't sure what to do with that. He winds up saying the first thing that comes to mind--]
No one's ever gone this far out of their way for me...
[He doesn't stop himself, the words coming unbidden as he winds up walking over to take a look at the basket. Those sweets are making his mouth water and any resolve he had for not forgiving Hubert is slowly going out the window as he takes the basket and goes back into place, looking at Hubert.
...He actually takes the stuffed bear and holds it close to himself in his free arm while he tries out one of the sweets, and oh gods they're delightful, give him a second--]
Is this an apology, then?
[...He's kind of getting that Hubert is just Like This, but Linhardt's words are no less. Kind of blunt, though it seems to be more unintentional than anything. Though Hubert can definitely observe Linhardt absolutely enjoying the sweets, clearly transfixed by them.]
no subject
Hubert's still stuck on Linhardt's words, however. No one's ever gone this far out of their way for me... It's not exactly hard to believe that, but at the same time something about it sticks with him, and he finds himself shifting a bit where he's leaning against the wall. It's somewhere between agitation and frustration; he doesn't know what it is about that admission that's bothering him so much, and he doesn't have time to analyze it right now.
(He doesn't want to analyze it.)
Instead, Linhardt accepts the gifts and puts it into words quickly and more efficiently than Hubert ever could have. He nods, curt.]
Yes. I... have a bit of difficulty expressing it.
[Obviously.]
It won't happen again.
no subject
...The bear is helping too, honestly, he's even going out of his way to make sure nothing lands on the bear and just...kind of has a surprisingly soft look when he looks at it, while he eats. It's...actually kind of nice, and even if it's making him look strange, probably, it's comforting. Even if Hubert's likely judging.
Not that he really looks up to see if Hubert is until he speaks up, and Linhardt turns that over in his head a bit.]
...I'd rather prefer it if you didn't let it happen again. Though, I suppose I wasn't blameless in that situation, either.
[It's still kind of humiliating to think about.........]
But in any case, I...do believe I owe you an apology as well, Hubert.
no subject
At Linhardt's words, he shakes his head.]
It wasn't as though you could control what you were doing in your sleep. There's no reason for you to apologize.
[He's honestly not sure what Linhardt could have to apologize for...]
no subject
Still, Linhardt shakes his head and looks up at Hubert when he says that he has no reason to apologize--he does, actually. It's something that's ate at him for a bit, all things considered, and Linhardt actually looks rather guilty when he speaks up--]
No, it's not that. I do believe that before I stormed off, I implied you should go back to the library. I don't know how you took such a thing, but I do believe that I implied you should go back to overworking yourself, because I didn't...
[Care anymore is the first thing that he wants to say, but he stops himself short. He never really stopped caring, but he certainly did a good job of attempting to burn the bridge, didn't he.]
Because I was angry with you. And...I do believe that was entirely unfair of me to say such a thing; to say nothing of how callous it was...
[His look goes down when he says that.]
...You have been taking care of yourself, I hope.
no subject
It's at that moment that he realizes that he might be a little messed up.
Anyway, that's not really important right now, and self-reflection can wait until later, assuming he decides to actually do that instead of ignore it entirely.]
It's hardly the first time it's happened; don't concern yourself with it. I certainly won't make the same mistake twice, and I haven't pushed myself that hard again.
[That seems to be true, given that he doesn't look nearly as tired as he did last week. Though he still doesn't look like he's getting enough sleep, it's at least better than it was.]
...I do have to ask if you're doing the same, however.
[Don't think he didn't notice those bags under your eyes, mister!!]
no subject
[Linhardt definitely will help him again if it happens, but as...much as he wants a re-do on that nap (Why? It's not like Hubert can relax anyway, that's silly, why does he want to--), he knows it'd likely end poorly again. But maybe if he brought the bear with him...
Of course, Linhardt's eyes widen at the questioning and while he looks back at Hubert at that, his look shifts away again while he gets another sweet from the basket to distract himself.]
I've been fine. It's nothing you need to concern yourself over.
[...it'd be a lot more convincing if you actually looked at Hubert, Linhardt. But then again, Linhardt's never been a good liar; he's always been a little too forward and honest in general (as...Hubert has likely observed...), so lying...doesn't actually come that easy to him, and it doesn't look convincing.]
no subject
[It's not quite a joke, but it isn't pointed. An observation, and one he finds vaguely amusing.]
There's no need to lie to me, Linhardt. Surely you don't think I'll fall for it.
[Of course, the problem is actually getting him to open up without risking scaring him off or upsetting him further. It's one thing to see a lie, it's another to find a way to address the problem in a halfway normal manner. Hubert is not equipped to deal with delicate matters like this; he's Lady Edelgard's dagger, a weapon to be used, he's hardly suited to deal with things involving diplomacy.
But it is important that Linhardt recover and stop hiding all the time. As always, everything he does is for Lady Edelgard's sake.
(And maybe things will be a bit easier and whatever has a stranglehold on his chest will ease up the moment Linhardt is back to normal.)]
Have you been having difficulty sleeping lately?
[It's not pointed, it's a genuine question. He's already formulating a response to that in case Linhardt has had trouble sleeping. Professor Manuela most likely has some herbs that could help with that, and if Linhardt would prefer avoiding letting anyone at the academy know about it then it shouldn't be difficult to find a book with information on the herbs required and he can obtain them...]
no subject
Hubert isn't being snide, or derisive. As much as Linhardt wishes he'd fall for it, so that he didn't have to try and talk about what was keeping him up and impeding his sleep--even with all of the time he's been avoiding others, his naps have been fraught with sudden starts, very sudden dreams and wakings that only served to make him more tired when he tries to wake up. To say nothing of even some of the faculty around the monastery getting on his case when they can actually find him in weird places...
And also nothing to say about the weird swath of problems he has around Hubert. Already, his heart has been doing all sorts of weird things--it had abated slightly with the apology, and these sweets are doing wonders for him, and even having that bear is putting him more at ease. But...]
...I will admit, I have had some difficulty, yes.
[There's the honesty, and he looks at Hubert with a slightly dismayed expression.]
I suppose it doesn't help that my naps haven't been in my usual places, and they've proven rather uncomfortable, but...I think what has been getting to me most is the fact that even when I do sleep, it only appears to be for short amounts of time before I jolt awake.
[He doesn't want to go into the weird dreams he's been having, so he avoids Hubert's gaze again.]
Why do you ask?
[Why are you going out of the way for me? is what he wants to ask, so badly, but he can't bring himself to say the words.]
no subject
He rests his chin against his hand as he considers.]
Has anything been troubling you lately? Perhaps you're having difficulty sleeping because something's been weighing on your mind.
[Linhardt usually seems so carefree; if something is bothering him, perhaps it could be impacting his naps. It certainly wouldn't do to let this go untreated, so a solution must be found.
...And naturally, the fact that their fight might have had something to do with it goes sailing directly over his head.
Anyway, there isn't an explanation for why he's asked in there, because he's distracted focusing on a solution, but that's probably fine right??]
no subject
But...]
...Why are you going so far out of your way for me?
[That's out before he can stop it, and he just. Shovels another treat into his mouth to hide the fact that he's not necessarily lying at this point, but stalling the truth out because...
...Why? Maybe he's worried about this turning on him again? Does he actually know why?]
no subject
All I do is for Lady Edelgard.
[A practiced answer, rehearsed but no less true. Of course, it... might not actually explain everything since this one does kind of require one to tilt their head and squint to see it.]
You are a member of the Black Eagles house and one of our own. It wouldn't do to treat you poorly or turn a blind eye to your suffering. While I cannot say I approve of your constant naps, they do have their benefits and when you are at your peak, you are one of the most intelligent people in our house. Your intelligence will no doubt serve Lady Edelgard well, so it is in our best interest to allow you the freedom you require as well as the time you need.
[Easy. Simple. Nothing to it.
...He does look like that's not all he has to say, but to be perfectly honest... he doesn't really want to get into it. If it were only for Lady Edelgard's sake, he certainly wouldn't have gone this far. Linhardt surely already knows that. But if it wasn't just for Lady Edelgard, then why did he go to so much trouble? Why did he spend so long making sure everything would be perfect for this apology?
It isn't like him, and to be honest, he has no idea why.]
no subject
His gaze doesn't quickly flicker to the door for a second, that's just your imagination.]
...In that case, I suppose it would be prudent to let you know of that much.
[His tone is still rather guarded, but--]
I suppose was rather upset by what had transpired between the two of us, after that rather undignifying display. [He takes another bite of the sweet, chewing and swallowing before speaking again.] I know it's a one-sided consideration, but...I do consider your company preferable. To most within the academy, of course. And perhaps it's bold, but...I would even call you a friend.
[There's that ever forward honesty. He's not really looking at Hubert when he says that, though, and it seems more like he's wracking his brain for a proper answer than anything.]
Try as I might to avoid the problem, it decided to follow me about instead. I think I was worried about something...being lost. At least, that's my hypothesis.
[Linhardt pauses for a second, finishing his current treat, before deciding to offer one to Hubert. A peace offering, perhaps, or...just attempting to be nice. Even if it's weird.]
no subject
You consider me a friend, and you were worried that what happened had destroyed that.
[It's not a question, not really, but it's still spoken aloud anyway to make sure they're on the same page. There's no feelings, no judgment.
But he'd be lying if he said that wasn't a carefully-constructed front, just as so much often is with Hubert.
In reality, it feels as though something has seized hold of his chest and won't let go. It's almost difficult to breathe. At the same time, there's a feeling of intense unease seeping through him, and something else he can't quite identify that roots him to the spot. Even if he wanted to leave (and for some reason he can't quite place, he does want to), nothing could get him to move.
All of this because Linhardt considers him a friend.
Surely something is wrong with him. Perhaps he's coming down with a cold, or maybe he's spent too long working and not enough time resting. Regardless of what it is, such feelings need to be pushed aside. He shouldn't be concerned about something so silly.
As though Linhardt would truly want to be friends with him of all people...]
