my dnd party has run into an npc who may or may not be evil and may or may not decide to betray us and the dm was in chat today like “just so everyone knows…not addressing this comment at anyone in particular…his favorite colors are red and black…wink” so now i’m desperately trying to get a real physical friendship bracelet done before session tomorrow in the vain hope that i can somehow stop this npc from trying to do a murder on my party

While I'm on the topic of Claude, I noticed something fascinating while putting screenshots of the reunion scenes in Verdant Wind and Azure Moon together

With Dimitri the theme is pretty obvious; he's been trapped in the dark so long he can't find a way back into the light himself even though it's right there

but when Byleth returns she brings the light with her and it touches him again for the first time in years, bridging that gap he thought too large to cross

but there's still this obvious divide between light and dark he refuses to break through but needs to bridge himself

Meanwhile with Claude, he's never left the light at all but has been patiently waiting for her to join him there

She's the one in the dark because she has no idea what's actually going on, but Claude is still as bright to her as ever and shows surprise at seeing her again only because she's the first to arrive

He's just happy she made it on the promised day which in turn surprises her because she just woke up, has learned that five years have passed since the battle and here is Claude, as if nothing had happened, still so bright to her

And instead of just waiting for her to join him now that he knows she's there, he meets her halfway, on the cusp between light and dark to gently guide her back into the present

Back into the light at his side where they both know she belongs, walking towards a new dawn

The light plays a large part in both these relationships but the starting point is different and I love it because while it draw connections between them, it also shows how different they are at their core

It's good writing, y'all

Except she does

And you do

Shez: You slept with the Ashen Demon?!

Dimitri: I know you’re upset. I’m sorry, it just sorta… happened.

Shez: I’m not upset that it happened. I’m upset that you didn’t invite me.

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw
