    Summary

    “You’ve never liked girls,” Linhardt said. His voice was still just as calm and matter-of-fact as usual, but he spoke slower, like he was confused at Caspar’s confusion.

    The library felt stuffier than ever, the sunlight and the old books more oppressive than they were just moments ago. Caspar felt sweat on the back of his neck as he stared at Linhardt, wide-eyed, processing that.

    “I didn’t mean to upset you,” Linhardt said after another moment of pause, his lips downturned into a frown. “I thought you must know that.”

    ++

    Caspar never realizes anything without Linhardt telling him first.

    Summary

    Caspar is killed defending Fort Merceus from the Alliance. Three years later, he is brought back from the dead by Linhardt, who tells him of the Empire's defeat. More concerning, however, is that Linhardt isn't the same as Caspar remembers.

    Summary

    When six-year-old Linhardt von Hevring agreed to accompany his father on a business trip to the Bergliez estate, he'd had big plans: he would read, sleep, lie around in the sun, study interesting-looking bugs, and get as much time to himself as possible.

    Nowhere in those plans had he accounted for the possibility of meeting one of the Bergliez boys—and he certainly hadn't expected to make a friend.

    Summary

    So, he lives here, present in every moment. He says thanks when he survives a battle and gives his undivided attention to Linhardt when the time comes, a feat in itself, whether now as they head to bed or the brief moments amongst the hustle of brewing victory.

    Linhardt's soul, however, he aches for.
    ---

    Alternatively: There are some foes even Caspar can't take on; it doesn't stop him from trying.

    Or: Sometimes, that's enough.
