Hearing all of that from Hubert is...it genuinely gives Marianne pause, and she listens to him easily. The way he says all of that, that he wants a world without the things that have troubled them...where they can live as they wish, where the world could be kinder to those who have suffered--so she wouldn't have to suffer--
Marianne's smile is warm, even with Hubert's hesitance, and she grips their laced hands together tighter. Marianne wants nothing more than to help him bring that world into a reality, even if she questions if she deserves such dedication...but...]
...I think the Goddess would be pleased to grant a wish like that.
[Marianne's voice is very soft, but very pleased as well.]
That's...that's similar to what I wish for, too. [Marianne's gaze goes out into the distance, her own expression gentle.] I planned to wish for happiness, for...all of us. So that you could continue to support Edelgard, and be able to lead the Empire well when the time comes...and that everyone could be able to seek out what their heart desires, without anything holding them back. So that...everyone could have a bright future.
...And...maybe we could, too. [...] I-In the very distant future, of course.
[Marianne is sadly going to have to separate their hands for a moment so she can pray, but her eyes close easily as she starts to recite a prayer.]
Dear Goddess, I beg thee...
[...Just give her about a minute or so to go through with the prayer--is he going to pray out loud too?]
