third ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe your chroma's a little low after all that holiday shopping and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

Professor...
Maybe try being as forward with him as you were with me.
I'm sure he'll respond positively.

[Just jump his bones, Byleth, and if that doesn't work then maybe enlist further help.]

[byleth]

Are you giving me advice instead of asking for it?
You really have grown.

[ He's teasing. Or trying to, at least. ]

His experience is different than yours.

[ What's a nice way of pointing out that Dimitri is still mostly a virgin... ]

[crestfallenfor]

Haha I might be.
And you might need it.

[He'll just be teasing back, nbd.]

...Good. No one should have had my experience. Especially not him.

[Wait. No. Too dark. Backpedal.]

You'll just have to teach him, then~ ;)
Fun for the both of you, right?

[byleth]

Maybe. But that doesn't prevent you from still asking.
If you need to.

[ He's always here for him. He'll nail that into Sylvain's head until he gets it. ]

You have no faith in his instincts?

[crestfallenfor]

[He gets it... Getting him to actually act on it, though... hm.]

I have much more faith in his tendency to restrain himself from acting on instincts, honestly.
He's been doing that for much longer than he ought to.

[byleth]

And you your better judgment.
That makes the both of you even.

[ And both of them as handfuls for Byleth, but he's not really complaining. ]

The fear of loss of control, of saying, doing, and revealing too much.
Maybe when he masters that fear- [ When both Dimitri and Sylvain master it- ] he'll be ready.

[crestfallenfor]

And what is it you're afraid of, Professor?
You ought to trust him to tell you no, instead of making his decisions for him.

[byleth]

You're right.
I've been too lenient with him.

Both of you always excelled better when I pushed you.

[crestfallenfor]

And now here we are.
And I'm the one pushing you~

[byleth]

Then it's my turn to take the lesson to heart.
Thank you, Sylvain.

[ He does appreciate it even if it feels a little strange to have the tables turned on him, but his students really have come a long way. ]

[crestfallenfor]

And it's my turn to wish you good luck.
And tell you to study. Haha~
You're very welcome, Professor.

[Look, they're... basically the same age, honestly, and considering all they've been through together, it might be nice to, you know, actually be friends now.

Especially if Byleth and Dimitri were going to be together. Then there's no escaping it. Sorry not sorry.]
