[Marianne isn't sure what to expect from Hubert, really. Maybe he'll just dismiss her then and there, and she can go and feel terrible about herself. She shouldn't have asked, she shouldn't have said anything, Hubert must be angry by now. Maybe he'd finally understand why she didn't want anyone around her, and they could go back to the way things were.
That doesn't happen, though. Marianne hears his words and her eyes shoot open in shock, looking at him like she's surprised that he'd say something like that. He doesn't care? Isn't he Edelgard's right hand man? Surely he'd care, surely he would, surely he should--
And yet as he cups her cheek and tips her head up, Marianne isn't sure she can deny herself any longer. Either of them, maybe. They're so agonizingly close and if he's not going to bridge that gap...]
Oh, Hubert...
[He won't need to ask for permission. Hubert's given his, essentially, and Marianne moves that last bit of the way in to meet his lips with her own, gentle and kind as ever. Very nervous, and eyes open to watch Hubert's reaction to see if she needs to stop, but...
She's wanted this for so long, and it feels like her heart is going to stop. Like nothing in this world matters except for them, for this little room and the distance they've closed between each other.]
