[ Ah, that actually earns an awkward little laugh. It's kind of wheezy and strange. Clearly he doesn't do it often, but it's clear from the smile on his face that he found it funny. ]

Corrin!

[fatefulprince]

[ oh, that's a nice sounding laugh! he wants another one! what if he

you know

tickles the back of Byleth's knees????

just

because ]

Sorry, did you say something?

[perfectteatime]

[ Oh. Oh dear. His legs kick out unbidden and he nearly topples off of Corrin. ]

Ah?!

[ It's an awkward kind of broken yelp. ]

What was that for?

[fatefulprince]

Huh?

[ he transforms back into a dragon again - poof! and cranes his long neck back a bit with a slight tilt of his head. ]

Have you never been tickled before? It’s like, a playful thing to do and, um ...

Sorry if I crossed any boundaries. I just thought it would make you laugh.

[perfectteatime]

Oh- I... no I have not. It's fine! It just surprised me is all.

It felt funny.

[fatefulprince]

Ah! I am glad to hear that. I would've hated to make you feel uncomfortable. I guess I'm just quite playful at times.

[ with Byleth comfortably seated on his back once again, the dragon elegantly takes off and gallops through the sky to climb to a comfortable height for them both. the sunset skyline looks amazing with vibrant colours streaking as far as the eye can see - the yellow glowing sun guiding the gradient that blends the pinks into purples and blues. stars are becoming more and more visible the higher they climb, and Corrin can only hope Byleth enjoys it just as much as he does. ]

It's so nice being able to do something like this. To be honest, back home, I never had the time to just ... enjoy being a dragon. Too much war going on. Not enough play. Maybe that's why I like playing so much ...

[perfectteatime]

Oh yes, not at all. Don't worry about it.

I know what you mean. I used to feel like I'm suited for war, but being here has shown me there are other things. Nicer things.

[ It is such a lovely view. Soaring into the painted sky like this. ]

I... don't really know how to play, though.

[fatefulprince]

"Nicer things" couldn't be more true. Being able to do things like this! It's so peaceful ... I could have only ever dreamed of being somewhere like this.

Heh. Good thing about play is that you're never too old to learn! One of my retainers from home, Gunter, was an old knight. Very old. Don't tell him I said that, heehee! But although he was an incredibly serious guy, he learned to play with me to help me feel at ease after my ... um, kidnapping. He tore apart the whip that the King used on me and made it into a ball to play with me ... and it ... helped a lot.

I guess play is just part of who I am now. It makes life so much happier.

[perfectteatime]

A whip...

[ Well that's. Troubling. His face creases with worry. ]

Well.

How do you play then?

[fatefulprince]

[ yeeeeeeeah. ]

Ah, yeah. My past ... isn't exactly a fairytale.

[ he stretches his wings out to initiate a nice glide while heading towards civilisation again. ]

But I found that play helped a lot. When I was held in captivity, I wasn't completely alone, thankfully. The kingdom's royal children became like siblings to me and would visit often. We'd play all kinds of games together, like hide and seek, ball games, tickle fights, card games, that sort of thing.

[perfectteatime]

Wow... you clearly became a kind person regardless.

[ He thinks on that for a minute. ]

Do you think you could teach me? How to play properly?

[fatefulprince]

Of course! I'd love to. I don't live too far from where you are, since I'm in Ecruteak, and you're welcome to visit any time you like. Any time you want to meet up, just say the word.

[ eventually Corrin can see Byleth's shared commune in view and he starts preparing to land. it was such a beautiful flight, and he thinks he'll travel home the very same way just to get one last taste of the stars. the dragon touches down gently, shaking his head and neck out from the adrenaline, allowing Byleth to dismount when ready. once he does, he transforms back into a human. ]

Heh ... I really enjoyed that. I hope you did too. [ he flashes a warm smile, a little bit tempted to hug him. ] Thanks, Byleth.

[perfectteatime]

I did indeed. Thank you for the fun.

[ He DOES hug him, a tight squeeze before waving and scampering off inside. ]
