Lorenz sounds so confident in all of this. Edelgard doesn't bring her head up quite yet, seeming to mull over what he says; he can obviously tell she's frustrated, and while there's a part of her that doesn't like being read so easily, it feels...different, when Lorenz does it. He's not trying to prove he's better than her for keeping a cool head (though he certainly is), he's not trying to admonish her and tell her that she's better than this. (though she feels she deserves it) No, he's reassuring her, and Edelgard...
She doesn't know what to do with that, or what it's doing to her chest, but there's definitely something warm taking root in there. Even if they're getting soaked by the rain, there's something about this moment that's...precious, almost. As if the entire world has stopped all at once.
Maybe there is something to this whole soulmate business after all--he hasn't spoken whatever has been written on her wrist, and yet, for this brief moment, that reassurance is making her feel like this situation isn't so bad.]
You're right. We must be getting closer to them by the second, but everything will be fine.
[...]
Thank you, Lorenz.
[Though she speaks with that usual assured confidence when she speaks up at first--though still a little muffled because she's...comfortable where she is, okay--those last words are soft. More than Edelgard allows herself, and yet full of appreciation for this brief moment.]
