[This is about what he was expecting, honestly. If his father was this strict about never considering his soulmate, he can only imagine how much worse it was for Edelgard. He's not sure if it's better or worse that she's hearing about it before experiencing it. Either way, she looks thrown, at least for a moment until she manages to get her expression under control.]
Your skepticism is understandable, of course. Here.
[Lorenz carefully rolls up his left sleeve, revealing the words neatly penned on his wrist. At least, they would look neatly penned, if Edelgard could see more than a black smudge. That's the thing about soulmates, they can't actually see the exact words written there. Anyone else can, but not your soulmate.
It's not as widely-known as everything else about soulmates. Give Lorenz a moment and maybe he'll remember, but for now... Well, for now you're stuck dealing with this. Sorry, Edelgard.]
