parting ways with rath

pairing: rath x gn!reader

summary: after reaching caelin, lyn's group heads their seperate ways and you say goodbye to rath

tags: set right after lyn mode, romantic/platonic relationship

after lyndis had finally reached caelin there was no reason for the little group she had assembled on her way to keep existing. some of them, like kent or sain, remained with lyndis and her grandfather, while others like rath or dorcas returned to their normal lives.  

you had decided to stay by lyn's side as well, but that meant you'd have to part ways with some of your former travel companions. like rath… 

you had grown quite fond of the young man during your travels. he had a tendency to keep his distance from others and rarely talk to anyone, but you had managed to get a few words out of him over time. though you knew the next words you'd say to him would likely be the last you two would ever exchange…

"i know we didn't know each other for long, but i'm glad i got to meet you, rath" you smiled at the sacean. "i'd hate to think this is the last time we speak… but perhaps we can one day meet again, on the plains!" 

rath remained quiet as you spoke, his eyes glued to you. you weren't sure he even wanted to reply to your farewell words, until he slowly started to speak. 

"perhaps the footprints we leave behind will one day be side by side again"

it was such an odd goodbye, but you couldn't help but smile. you hadn't expected rath to reciprocate your feelings, but you were happy that he did, even if he remained so vague. at least that meant you had hope to cling to…
