[Connor...liked it when she acted this way. It was one of the things that sort of drew him to her. Her convictions and what she wants to do for everyone else. Even if she didn't receive credit. Or recognition. It was just the right thing to do for the people she cherished. Her people.

It was probably where they were the most similar. But he couldn't help but be pleased.

He got from this that Epihraim got more credit than she, and she seemed okay. Well. She can get some credit right now. His grip became a little tighter as she laced her fingers.]

[He hoped you were really looking at her.]

You can be what is needed without so much of trying. Princess Eirika. Queen Eirika. Eirika of Renais. Eirika.

You are a woman that can be much. Could accomplish much if your heart so desired.

[He was feeling somewhat awkward, mainly because he had no idea how to say certain things so plainly.]

I have grown to know you enough so I know when you are trying to be strong. No, you are strong. But that is...one of the reasons why I have grown to admire you.
