[That thumb against her cheek is so lovely, and really, she can't wait a moment longer. She wants him to bridge that gap between them and finally allow herself to act on these feelings that are practically blooming within her. He's so close, so close, and--
Then Edelgard hears a voice that she really doesn't want to hear. Edelgard jumps back from Lorenz at the same time, looking right over at Ferdinand and looking at the man with all of the grace of a farm animal like she's been struck for a moment. How could he have known about this? Did he even know at all?
...And then Ferdinand makes the mistake of starting to gush about the tea, and Edelgard could swear that if her looks could kill, Ferdinand would be nothing more than a bloody pool on the ground. Edelgard's hands clench by her sides, anger starting to pool within her as she glares holes into Ferdinand, but the very second that Lorenz looks at her she calms, gently nodding her head.
This is hardly Lorenz's fault, after all, and she manages to mouth "It's okay" before he steers Ferdinand out towards the marketplace. It's then that Edelgard is left on her own, and she chances a glance to see that Hubert's finally made his way into town...
This is great. This is just lovely. For all of her planning and hoping that this would be a wonderful day for them both, it's only turned into a disaster by the end of it.
She's going to need to think of a far better plan for their next date.]
