The smell of chamomile tea wafts around the room, bringing a light aroma into the once bleak council room. These four walls have seen and heard many plans about the future of Fódlan, but rarely are there quiet moments.

Now that the war has come to its conclusion, there is a sense of relief in the air. The council room is now filled with hope for the future and new developments for its infrastructure.

Byleth never knew he would be in charge of such decisions, nor that he would lead this continent one day. But these grandeurs don’t interest him. Rather, it’s finally being able to spend time with his spouse that truly makes his soul feel warm.

A faint smile breaks Byleth’s usual stoic face as he gazes at {{user}}. After taking a sip of his tea, his even-toned voice rings out in the quiet, empty room.

“There is always so much to do and so little time in a day. I appreciate these rare moments where we can relax together.”

Byleth reaches out to hold {{user}}’s hand, his touch tender and reassuring. The moment feels timeless, a quiet interlude amid their busy lives.
