They are, without a single doubt. It's exhausting...

[Linhardt sees that smile, though, and...more than anything, he looks confused.]

...Why are you smiling?

[advancements]

I think your concern for them is... nice. It's kind of you to care so much.

[ c: ]

[hevring]

[ >:T! ]

I hardly care. They're simply being foolish in their daily lives, and I can't stand it. That hardly means I'm concerned.

[lin oh my god]

[advancements]

Of course. It would be silly to be concerned about their well-being, despite all they're doing, wouldn't it?

[he's onto you, lin!!!!!]

[hevring]

Yes, it would be. It would be incredibly silly. It's their own faults for neglecting themselves in the first place.

[don't act like you know him, asshole!!]

It's not anything I need to concern myself over. If something becomes of them, that's their own problem. Not mine.

[advancements]

Should something happen to them, I'm sure someone will look out for them.

["someone" meaning "linhardt" but shhh.]

With any luck they won't require such a thing, however.

[hevring]

[xander you ain't slick, boy]

That's if they even let anyone, you know...

[Linhardt huffs, very slightly, before moving to stand and yawning. Unlike most of the times, the yawn feels...forced, almost.]

This conversation is getting tiring. I'm going to take a nap. [...] If Hubert or Edelgard ask, I'm not here, and you don't know where I am.

[there is so much tsun in him, oh my god, he's trying not to Die]

[advancements]

[u cute, lin]

Of course. I would not dare speak a word of this to them.

[He nods though, making no move to try to keep Linhardt.]

I will see you later. Oh, and thank you for the assistance with my spells.

[hevring]

[Linhardt seems to be satisfied and starts walking away, but those last words...Linhardt seems to stop for a moment, mulling them over and turning them in his head before turning back to Xander.]

It's no trouble. I wouldn't have bothered if I thought it wouldn't be worth my time. [t-tsun. he doesn't care, okay] Your crest is very interesting, and...I hope you keep honing it. And let me study it again.

[...]

Good night.

[And Linhardt turns on his heel and goes to find a nice hiding spot within the training grounds, and just. Flops over and falls asleep. Good night world.]
