1: snowdrop /girls“I didn’t know these grew near the monastery.”
“Oh, yes!” she said, excited. “I spotted them while I was out gathering firewood with Cyril today. I thought they would be just lovely indoors—spruce up the place, you know? Spring is still a long way off.”
“Hm, they are lovely,” Sylvain agreed. He’d always been fond of them. Of course, that didn’t mean everyone felt the same. “Better not let Ashe see them, though,” he said, grinning suddenly. “He’s far too superstitious. Probably have a heart attack.”
“Oh?” Mercedes stood back to examine the tiny white bells. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t know?"

2: horsehoe /studySylvain never called for his mother anymore; Lady Gautier tolerated him most days, but she was not what anyone would call a doting parent. But Maude, his old nursemaid—the one who had actually raised him, who had tended to his scraped knees, had lavished him with sweets secreted away from the kitchens and stolen hugs when his parents weren’t looking—she would come. Maude would tell him everything was alright.
Only, when the door burst open a moment later, it wasn’t Maude but his mother, who threw herself by his bedside and wrapped her arms around him.
“Oh, Sylvain! My son! Oh, I was so worried!”Even had he been able to move, Sylvain would have frozen at the touch. His mother, worried? About him? And now she was…. hugging him? Had he died? Was this some weird fever dream?
“Mother…” He did not return the hug, could not even had he wanted to.
“Shh, it’s alright now,” she whispered into his hair; the same color as her own, fiery red and perpetually untamable. “You’re alright.”

3: red/water“You know, I met your father, once. You look very much like him.”
Bile crept its way up his throat, but Sylvain forced it back down. “Yeah, I get that a lot. Like father, like son.”
“Hm. Perhaps.” Seteth looked him up and down, and Sylvain felt like the man could see right through his armor. And not in the sexy way. “Other than your looks, I don’t know that you’re very much like him at all.”
Ah, there it was. Here came the lecture Sylvain had expected from the start, laying out all his flaws and dragging each one through the dirt while they sang his father’s praises. Sylvain was no-good, Sylvain was lazy, why couldn’t he be more like his father—
So it very much surprised him when Seteth said, “That is not a bad thing, Sylvain.”
He blinked. “I’m sorry, what?”

4:duty/memory"My friends... Need me."
“Your friends need you to get off the field so they can get back to fighting.” His rescuer scoffed. “You can’t even stand.”
Of course he could stand. He wiggled his toes, waved his arm—tried, found it wouldn’t respond, failed—and murmured, “Just gimme a few minutes—”
“You’re such a fool!” The one carrying him grunted, shifting Sylvain again. The new position gave him a better look at his rescuer: sharp cheekbones, deep blue-black hair falling loose from its queue, dark amber eyes staring into the distance. “Ugh,” he grumbled, eyes on something in the distance instead of the useless cavalier in his arms, “when did you get so damned heavy…?”
Sylvain knew him—knew that he knew, but he couldn’t recall how. Yet he was sure they had done this before. Pieces of a memory flitted before his eyes: strong arms around him, making sure he was cared for, carrying him to safety, sharp eyes sorrowful and furious all at once.
“Glenn?”
No, that wasn’t right. Glenn was… was…
