halcyon days
[So, things were going fine- they were planning to counter this strange contest Esme had dropped in their laps. Kingslayer was willing, at least little, to talk to him again. He had recently been cleaned up by Ruin so no longer looked (or smelled) quite so feral. Lion was doing okay.
Lion is no longer doing okay. And can be found pacing the Executor House like his namesake. Occasionally stopping to write frantically on a piece of paper on the dining room table but never sitting down for long.
If anyone pauses to read it he won't stop them: it's three lists of names, each under an animal-based title: Blue Lions, Black Eagels, Golden Deer. Next to the Lions list, he has an arrow- Source of my name???? and more arrows pointed to the House Leader slot of both the Lions (`me`) and the Eagles ('other House Leader, can't remember them. Why? I can remember Claude but not them...`) and at the end of the Lions list (`4 others here, but can't remember them??? One was a retainer to me I think? And the other three are in a lot of memories- we were close???`)
And above all the lists, underlined and circled: Professor Byleth Eisner
He's having a bad time]

...in moderation.
[She's killed, but she isn't as detestable as the monsters he's just remembered- but it's a close thing]

[Something doesn't sit right with her, but she just sighs and thinks.]
I'd rather make somebody suffer if they hurt me. It's something in here, something intense, and at times I don't know if it's what I truly feel or ought to.
no subject
But I know that it's not 'proper' and it makes me feel guilty. But if that's true shouldn't thinking about it at all make me feel that way? I'm not sure. In that at least you're not alone.

[Wolfsbane shakes her head.]
I shouldn't be discussing this anyway, it isn't as if it matters. We should be taking her down, and anyone else like her. And whatever Ernesta did to me, whyever I started to hate her so much it burned, and whatever happened in your life, that's the same too, isn't it?
no subject
If you hated this Ernesta so much, she must have done some horrific crime against you- such rage never comes from nothing.
[You sure, Lion, you sure]
