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]

I do remember quite a few friends from school now but... I wonder if I was especially close to these missing names. They are always around in my important memories, but anytime we are alone the edges blur to the point of nonsense.
Though thinking I may have become a companion to the leader of the Black Eagles certainly bodes well for the future of the country. They would likely be a high ranking noble of our most powerful neighbor.

Still. You're a charming and handsome and charismatic lad even now. I can scarcely imagine people not wanting to befriend you.
