Fire Emblem Three Houses: Which Ending is a Happy (or most Fulfilled) Ending(s) for Bernadetta in Fire Emblem Three Houses? (ALL ENDINGS INCLUDED)

Not all character endings are happy ones. Some don't accomplish their goals, there are those who don't completely heal from trauma, or they're overshadowed by someone they're paired with. However, There are also those who accomplish their goals no matter what (Ex: Ignatz being a painter) or seem content with how things went for them.

I'm mostly not going to discuss supports (meaning compatibility between characters or the most romantic) since that's not what this is about. It's about which endings would be the happiest for a specific character or what makes them more fulfilled (you can choose more than one).

Recap: Dedue

Ingrid

So right now, we are going to discuss Bernadetta. Due to the abuse she suffered from her father in attempts to make her a "perfect wife", she developed a fear of people to the point she'd rather stay in her room all day. Some endings she'll heal from her trauma and grow as a person but in other endings she'll still remain a shut-in.

Before you read the endings, I should bring this up. After Edelgard ascended the Adrestian throne, Bernadetta's father was placed under house arrest and was stripped of his title, remaining in this situation during the Crimson Flower. In the Verdant Wind and Silver Snow routes, Count Varley is released from his arrest after Edelgard's death and resumes control of House Varley, though if Byleth talks to Bernadetta, they are given the option to either restore his house arrest or exile him. So he gets screwed either way.

Bernadetta

Endings

Bernadetta - Eternal Loner

"As soon as Bernadetta inherited House Varley from her father, she withdrew from all political discourse and focused solely on the management of her own territory. Because of this and her penchant for spending long periods of time in "hibernation," she became known throughout the house's history as the "Bear of Varley.""

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: I don't think so. I think "long periods of time in "hibernation"" is another way to say that she's still a shut-in.

Is this a happy ending for Bernadetta, no, or so-so?: On one hand, she doesn't grow in confidence but on the other hand, her father gets no benefits if she remains single.

Bernadetta and Byleth (Crimson Flower)

"Almost as soon as Byleth and Bernadetta were finally wed, the battle against those who slither in the dark began in earnest. Many were concerned that the new leader of House Varley would do little more than hide, but she fell in alongside her husband and followed him everywhere, fighting to bring lasting peace to Fódlan. Forced to throw herself into one terrifying battle after another, Bernadetta developed such a tough character, it is said that absolutely nothing could frighten her."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: Yes.

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Byleth, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both, Bernadetta managed to get past her fear and be more courageous thanks to her accompanying Byleth on his many expeditions to stamp out those who slither in the dark. Byleth gets a partner who fights beside him against Those who Slither in the Dark and might have a place to settle After the war.

Bernadetta and Byleth (Azure Moon)

"After taking on the role of archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced his marriage to Bernadetta. Many were concerned that the new leader of House Varley would do little more than hide, but she in fact followed the archbishop wherever he went and provided him with constant counsel. She never did overcome her shyness, however, and it is said that aspiring advisers who frightened her were quickly turned away. Because the ones she liked performed well in their service to the church, Bernadetta was widely believed to have a discerning eye."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ??? (She's still shy but not a total shut-in.)

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Byleth, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Maybe Both. Bernadetta might still be shy but she might have room to grow, especially since her father isn't around. Plus she's able to assist Byleth in a way.

Bernadetta and Byleth (Verdant Wind / Silver Snow)

"After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced his marriage to Bernadetta. Many were concerned that the new leader of House Varley would do little more than hide, but she in fact followed the new king wherever he went and provided him with constant counsel. She never did overcome her shyness, however, and it is said that aspiring advisers who frightened her were quickly turned away. Because the ones she liked performed well in their service to the people, Bernadetta was widely believed to have a discerning eye."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ??? (She's still shy but not a total shut-in.)

Bernadetta and Edelgard

"When Bernadetta inherited House Varley from her father, she tried to withdraw from politics and remain within the bounds of her territory, but Edelgard, the new Adrestian emperor, would not allow it. Instead, she demanded that Bernadetta counsel her in governing Fódlan. It is said that the emperor made this choice to keep herself from being too detached, and that Bernadetta was all too happy to provide a more emotional perspective now and again. The people of Enbarr could always tell when the two were meeting by the sound of Bernadetta’s panicked voice ringing out from the palace."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ??? (It didn't say she grew confident but it also didn't say she's a total shut-in)

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Edelgard, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both. While Bernadetta didn't grow confident and tried to remain secluded, Edelgard instead gave Bernadetta a place within her Empire. Thanks to Bernadetta, Edelgard might not fall back to a too ruthless/detached mindset. Also, remember Edelgard placed Bernadetta's father under house arrest and was stripped of his title. So I'd like to think that there's another motive for Edelgard having Bernadetta give her counsel. Not only to keep Edelgard from getting too detached but to protect Bernadetta from her father, if he's still in house arrest.

Bernadetta and Hubert

"The marriage between Hubert, Minister of the Imperial Household, and Bernadetta, leader of House Varley, was so surprising to the public that it was much talked about even outside of political circles in the capital. Bernadetta took the opportunity to survey the far reaches of the new Adrestian Empire, and in her absence, Hubert took well to the management of Varley territory. They proved to be an astonishingly good match, working together to protect Fódlan from the shadows. It is said that they showed their affection for one another by wearing matching embroidered flowers."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: Maybe Yes (While it didn't say she grew confident, it also didn't say she remained shy nor is she a complete shut-in.) (Read the next paragraph for more info)

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Hubert, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Both. Again, while it didn't say she grew confident, she didn't remain a shut-in either. It said that "Bernadetta took the opportunity to survey the far reaches of the new Adrestian Empire, and in her absence, Hubert took well to the management of Varley territory." Which means she's able to get out of the house and grow to have some independence (it might imply growth in confidence and as a person.), while Hubert watches over her territory for her (plus, if Bernadetta's father is still in house arrest, Hubert might scare him to the point he leaves Bernadetta alone. Haha.). Also Hubert might've moved on from his feelings for Edelgard.

Bernadetta and Ferdinand (Crimson Flower)

"After the war, Bernadetta renounced her claim to House Varley. She married Ferdinand, the new Duke Aegir, and the two contributed to relief efforts by instituting reforms across their Dukedom. Due to the success of those policies, Ferdinand was offered the position of Prime Minister by the emperor. He accepted, leaving the management of Aegir territory to his wife, while he worked to apply their ideas to the Empire at large. Since Bernadetta did not like to leave home, Ferdinand's life involved a lot of travel to and from the capital, but it is said he always embarked on his return home with a smile on his face."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Ferdinand, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: For Ferdinand, yes. Ferdinand aspires to be the next Imperial Prime Minister as the head of his family is traditionally one. But he also wants to make up for his father being a corrupt one. He succeeds in being a good one here. As for Bernadetta, it depends on the viewpoint. She doesn't like to leave home, which implies that she hasn't healed from her trauma, the only good part in this is that she renounced her claim to House Varley meaning her father doesn't get any benefits from her marriage.

Bernadetta and Ferdinand (Other routes)

"After the war, Bernadetta renounced her claim to House Varley. She married Ferdinand, the new Duke Aegir, and the two contributed to relief efforts by instituting reforms across their Dukedom. Due to the success of those policies, Ferdinand was offered the opportunity to help govern all Fódlan. He accepted, leaving the management of Aegir territory to his wife, while he worked to apply their ideas to the world at large. Since Bernadetta did not like to leave home, Ferdinand's life involved a lot of travel, but it is said he always embarked on his return home with a smile."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Ferdinand, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: For Ferdinand, yes. Ferdinand's belief is that it's nobles' duty to protect and elevate the commoners they are supposed to be shepherding. While he doesn't get to be the Imperial Prime Minister in this, he gets to be in a position where he can help. As for Bernadetta, it depends on the viewpoint. She doesn't like to leave home, which implies that she hasn't healed from her trauma, the only good part in this is that she renounced her claim to House Varley meaning her father doesn't get any benefits from her marriage.

Bernadetta and Linhardt (Crimson Flower)

"Linhardt and Bernadetta caused quite the stir after the war when they abandoned their inherited titles and eloped to Garreg Mach. Returning to the monastery, where they were always most comfortable, the couple lived peaceful lives away from the hassle of politics. When the Empire's efforts to restore the church were complete, the officers Academy reopened, and two eccentric individuals took up professorships there. One was perpetually asleep, or absorbed in absentminded study; the other refused to show herself at all unless it was time to give a lecture."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Linhardt, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: For Linhardt, yes. One of the things about him is that he loves freedom, another is that he has an interest in researching crests. Without the pressure of being an heir/lord and him being able to have access to special artifacts in Garreg Mach if he's a professor, he might study crests as long as he wants. For Bernadetta, it depends on how you look at it. On one hand she is far away from her father, but on the other hand she still hides away. (I wonder if the future students will learn anything with those two has professors)

Bernadetta and Linhardt (Other routes)

"Linhardt and Bernadetta caused quite the stir after the war when they abandoned their inherited titles and eloped to Garreg Mach. Returning to the monastery, where they were always most comfortable, the couple lived peaceful lives away from the hassle of politics. When the church was fully restored, the officers Academy reopened, and two eccentric individuals took up professorships there. One was perpetually asleep, or absorbed in absentminded study; the other refused to show herself at all unless it was time to give a lecture."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Linhardt, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: (same thing as their Crimson Flower route)

Bernadetta and Caspar

"After some uncertainty about the details, it was decided that Caspar would marry into Bernadetta's family, seeing as she had claim to House Varley. The two had a chaotic reign and a marriage to match. Each time Caspar caused some incident, Bernadetta would demand promises as recompense. Over time, their oaths accumulated to such a great number that it became necessary to compile them, and the resulting document came to be known as the "47 Articles of Bernie." Among these Articles was the provision that, when counting their large quantity of children, Caspar was not to accidentally count his wife among them."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ???

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Casper, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Ehhh… it's a little complicated. For Bernadetta, it makes no mention of her being recluse or growing confident. For Casper, it depends. As a crestless second son, he's often overshadowed by his older brother and a little ignored by the rest of his family but at the same time he is grateful that he is not the one to succeed House Bergliez as he can live a life he desires unbound from the trappings of nobility. Because of the circumstances he decided to make a name for himself through martial ability. In some Crimson Flower routes he becomes Minister of Military Affairs, while in some non-Crimson Flower he travels the world. In here, it makes no mention he does either of them (The Crimson Flower, part you can only assume), but he doesn't seem to mind.

Bernadetta and Felix (Azure Moon)

"After the war, Felix inherited the title of Duke Fraldarius from his late father, Rodrigue. He married Bernadetta, who abandoned claim to House Varley in order to start a life with him. After they had finished restoring Fraldarius territory, Felix traveled across Fódlan as the king's right hand. While he was away, Bernadetta handled local affairs while holed up in her room in the castle. The frigid air of northern Faerghus caused her to hide away even more than usual, but whenever her beloved husband returned, she would rush out to greet him."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ??? (Read the next paragraph)

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Felix, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: It depends. While this ending doesn't say she grew confident and it says she holed up in her room, it can be excused due to her not being adapted to Faerghus's cold land. Plus, It's says that she always rushes out to greet Felix when he returns home, which can be taken as she's somewhat healed if you want. Bonus points is that even when she married a high ranking noble like her father wanted, he gets no benefits since she cuts ties with him. Felix wants to become the best swordsman, but it often leads him to neglect other things. In this ending, he grew up a bit. There doesn't seem to be a problem for Felix in this ending.

Bernadetta and Felix (Other routes)

"After the war, Felix attempted to set out on his own, but was waylaid by Bernadetta, who begged him not to go. Persuaded to stay, Felix ended up marrying into House Varley, the title of which Bernadetta had inherited. The couple got along smoothly, although it was rumored that in the early years of their marriage, she once had to restrain him physically to prevent him taking a trip to the Oghma Mountains to train. As the years wore on, Bernadetta became more reclusive, and Felix took over many of the day-to-day duties of running the house. Documents from their later years were increasingly signed with the name Felix, Count Varley."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Felix, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: It depends on how you see it. Bernadetta becomes more reclusive in this. But Felix doesn't end up wandering mercenary, throwing himself in battle with a death wish. He ends up having a place to stay with a new family. Plus, he didn't "vanish from recorded history" meaning he might still have ties with his friends/classmates

Bernadetta and Raphael

"When Bernadetta first inherited control of House Varley, she hid away and would not involve herself in political or administrative affairs. During this time, it was Raphael who came to her aid, encouraging her to work through her fear of people. The training period was difficult-"humiliating," according to the journals Bernadetta left behind—but in the end, it had its desired effect. The leader of House Varley became an outgoing and authoritative individual, taking part in public policy. She even took on a very muscular husband."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: Yes

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Raphael, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Is it a happy ending for Bernadetta? Yes, because thanks to Raphael she didn't become more recluse, got over her fears, and became active as a leader of her house. Plus, her father wants her to marry another noble, so marrying a commoner Is like giving him a middle finger. Is it a happy ending for Raphael? It depends. He wants to become a knight, but this ending makes no mention if he did. However, this ending also didn't mention his life before he arrived in Varley territory, so we can only assume if he became a knight during that time or if he became a knight in service of House Varley instead.

Bernadetta and Seteth

"After the war, Seteth remained at the monastery and dedicated himself to the restoration of the church. He was soon joined by Bernadetta, who abandoned her inheritance to House Varley and took up residence at Garreg Mach to commit to a life as a recluse. As the years wore on, Seteth wrote many fables, first in his spare time, and then later as his main preoccupation. His stories became famous among children throughout Fódlan. As he gained renown, many began to inquire about the wonderful illustrations that accompanied the writing. In response to these questions, Seteth was known to shrug and say, "Ask my wife... if you can find her.""

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: No

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Seteth, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: I think Only Seteth, because while the only positive thing about this for Bernadetta is her cutting ties with her father, she still hides away from everyone. Seteth does seem content write stories and restoring the church, plus he moves on from his first wife.

Bernadetta and Jeritza

"After the war for Fódlan, Jeritza threw himself fully into the struggle against those who slither in the dark. Visage masked by the likeness of death itself, he laid waste to his enemies with a scythe that terrified friend and foe alike. When it was all over, he stole away in secret and vanished. At the same time, a mysterious guest arrived in Varley territory, which Bernadetta had inherited from her father. On that day, the reclusive noble and her guest were seen walking the grounds pleasantly together. A rendition of that scene, said to be painted by Bernadetta herself, remains at the estate to this day."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: ???

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Jeritza, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: Bernadetta's case is ambiguous since it makes no mention whether she's a recluse or grew confident. But she does gain a partner in Jeritza (I say partner because it's unknown if they have a platonic or romantic relationship. I'm also imagining him scaring Bernadetta's father if he's still in house arrest and not in exile). In Jeritza's case, yes it's a happy ending for him because it seems like he manages to control his Death Knight persona and move beyond his blood-soaked past.

Bernadetta and Yuri

"Bernadetta’s struggle with anxiety made it difficult for her to take over as the head of House Varley. She became so overwhelmed that when Yuri chanced to visit her domain, she literally grabbed hold of his arm and refused to let go. Baffling as it was for Yuri at the time, this peculiar state of affairs eventually led to marriage. The commonfolk were initially perplexed, but over the years they became grateful for Count Varley’s surprising husband. His presence kept her calm and allowed her to deal with her people more frequently and easily. As a result, her talent for governance blossomed and her rule was widely celebrated."

Is Bernadetta able to recover from her trauma?: Yes (Read next paragraph)

Is it a happy ending for only Bernadetta, only Yuri, both, neither, or ehhh… (like it's too complicated to decide)?: It's a happy ending for Bernadetta since Yuri also helps her out of her shell in this. Plus, her father wants her to marry another noble, so marrying a commoner Is like giving him a middle finger. As for Yuri it depends, he wants to help the less fortunate and he's a fairly dedicated follower of the Church of Seiros. First Adrestian Empire history, 120 years before the start of the game The Southern Church instigated an insurrection that spread throughout the empire and was subsequently quelled. Following this incident, the Adrestian Emperor exiled the Bishop of the Southern Church and forced the Southern Church itself to shutter. A Ministry of Religious Affairs was established to replace it with command under House Varley; they're primarily tasked with maintaining relations with the Church of Seiros. Take it for what you will, thought I'd bring related info up, it really depends on the route they're on (like if they can keep the Religious Affairs position or not.). Although, some might say it is not good since she basically forced him to stay. But I guess Yuri is able to help the commonfolk in Varley by helping their lord. I'm also imagining him scaring Bernadetta's father if he's still in house arrest and not in exile (The only complaint I have is their A-Support where Yuri mentions that Bernadetta is lucky to have a father that cares enough to save her, which gives an impression that he doesn't know about the abuse she suffered from her father.)

Which of these endings is her most happy endings (you can choose more than one)? What do you rank these endings? You can even discuss Bernadetta's supports as a reason in comment.

Naming a Crafty Cat

Hello everyone! I recently re-watched Ashe and Caspar’s support conversations from Fire Emblem Three Houses and needed more of their silliness, so I made this! I hope you all enjoy!

Series: Fire Emblem Three Houses

Characters: Ashe and Caspar

Words: 1,767

Summary: When Ashe and Caspar debate on what to name the cat they found, Caspar discovers a playful fact about his friend that he can possibly use to win the argument. Enjoy!

—

The dormitories at Garreg Mach Monastery provide a cozy place to rest for the knights and units currently involved in the war across Fódlan, but they also provide a safe meeting place for some of the monastery’s fuzzy friends.

The dark brown walls give a comforting feel to the room. A wooden desk and drawers are placed around the edges, while the left side is completely occupied by the bed. A red, square carpet with a small golden pattern repeated across the fabric lies in the middle of the room atop of the hardwood flooring. Upon the carpet, a cat with black and white fur swishes his tail back and forth as Caspar sits next to him and scratches behind his ear.

“Aww, who’s the good little guy? You are,” Caspar coos while giving the cat additional scratches, making the feline’s tail swish across the carpet even more. The creature’s little mouth forms a smile and he lets out an affectionate meow. To allow himself to be more comfortable while he spends time with the animal, Caspar has removed his usual thick plates of armor, leaving him in his light brown, long sleeve undershirt and dark maroon pants.

“Little?” Ashe inquires with a chuckle while he sits across from Caspar to pet the cat’s back, “I wouldn’t exactly call him that. He’s not a kitten. In fact, all the food we’ve been feeding him is probably helping him grow.” When he saw Caspar already relaxing here in the room, Ashe had also taken off his usual thick coat and plates of armor, so he’s now wearing his blue, long sleeve undershirt with his black pants and brown boots.

“Well, what else would we call him?” Caspar mentions, “He technically is small compared to us.”

“Haha, true.” Once he finishes his sentence, Ashe pauses for a moment with a thought of realization. “You know what? We’ve been taking care of this cat for a while now, why don’t we name him?”

“Hey, you’re right! Good idea Ashe!” Caspar places his hands on his knees, ready to discuss. “How about something fierce and tough? Like Brawler, or Scorch!”

“Eh, I don’t know Caspar. Maybe we should go with something more cute. Something suitable for a cat like Whiskers or Mittens.”

“But where’s the fun in that! He likes watching me fight. For all we know, he could be a great warrior himself!”

Ashe gives another lighthearted chuckle, “I highly doubt that.”

“It’s possible!”

While the two continue their friendly debate, the cat stands on all fours and stretches himself out, arching his back with his tail in the air. After his stretch, the cat decides to roam about, disappearing from sight as he trots behind Ashe.

“Okay, Okay!” Caspar lights up with another idea, “How about Tiger?”

“Tiger?” Ashe questions, “I feel that would be more fitting if he had stripes and was orange instead of black and white.”

Caspar playfully crosses his arms, “Well, I think it’s a great name!”

“I didn’t say it wasn’t. I’m just saying maybe we should find something more fitt-heheing!” Ashe suddenly jumps with a stream of giggles pouring from his mouth.

“Hey, why are you laughing? We’re having a serious conversation here!” Caspar half-jokes after witnessing Ashe’s unforeseen reaction.

“Sohohorry! Sorry!” Ashe responds with more soft giggles. He abruptly jolts again and moves his hands down to his sides as a lump crawls under the fabric of his shirt. “Hehey! Get out of there! That tickles!” Ashe then reaches under the bottom of his shirt and gently pulls out the cat who had wandered under his clothes. Now that he’s removed the silly perpetrator, the knight holds up the cat to look into the creature’s smiling yellow eyes, then places the fuzzy friend on his lap to pet the black coat of fur along his back.

Meanwhile, Caspar blinks at his friend, almost speechless. “Ashe. You’re ticklish?”

“Hm?” the gray-haired knight looks up from the cat on his lap. “Oh,” he lets out a sheepish laugh, “I am, yeah.”

As Caspar processes this information, an evil smirk grows on his face. This new fact became available to him at just the right time. “Ticklish enough to lose an argument?” he says through his wide grin.

“What?!” Ashe jolts his head up. As if the cat knows what’s about to happen next, the feline hops off of Ashe’s lap and trots away. The knight snaps his head back towards Caspar’s direction and looks wide-eyed at his friend, who still has that large grin plastered on his face.

“Oh no—Caspar, wait!” Ashe exclaims with his hands up in defense, but before he knows it, Caspar lunges forward and tackles him down onto the carpet. He thuds backwards onto the soft fabric and Caspar immediately starts clawing into his belly and sides.

“AH! Hehehehaha! Wahahait! Cahahaspar!” Ashe yelps and breaks out into bouncy giggles.

“Oh wow, you really are ticklish. Looks like this will be easier than I thought,” Caspar smirks as he relocates his hands to the lower half of Ashe’s ribs.

“Whahahat are yohohou tahahalking abohohout!” Ashe kicks his legs and tries to shield his torso with his arms from Caspar’s surprise attack.

“Naming the cat of course! I needed you to agree with me somehow.” He crawls his fingers further up Ashe’s ribs, causing the knight to jolt with an involuntary, giggly snort. Knowing that he just made an embarrassing sound, a faint blush appears beneath Ashe’s freckles and he hugs his arms around himself to try and curl up into a ball on his side. Meanwhile, Caspar continues on like they were having a normal conversation, “Hmm. Now let’s think of some tough guy names. How about…Storm? Crusher?”

“Cahahahaspahahar!” Ashe giggles as he tries to bury his face in the carpet and behind his shoulder to hide his flustered expression.

“But that’s my name! That won’t work,” Caspar teases, fully aware that wasn’t the reason Ashe called out his name.

Just then, the cat hops up onto Caspar’s shoulder and starts nuzzling into his neck.

“Hey!” Caspar lifts up his shoulders to shield himself, “What are you doing little guy?” He reaches up to move the cat away and the fuzzy creature jumps off, landing onto the cushioned ground on all fours. Ashe takes the moment of break to catch his breath, and notices that Caspar is now left wide open. Seeing that his friend is still distracted, Ashe quickly pushes him backwards with a shove to the chest.

“Whoa!” the blue-haired knight swings his arms to keep his balance, but ends up toppling over onto the carpet. Unfortunately for him, Ashe pounces forward before he can get up and he enacts his revenge by scribbling into Caspar’s unguarded sides.

“Hehehey!” Caspar jolts, “Yohohou can’t use my own tactic on mehehe!”

“Well I just did,” Ashe responds with a smile as he alternates between Caspar’s sides and belly. Living up to his fighting spirit, the blue-haired knight tries to shove Ashe away, but the skilled archer keeps locked on to his target. In another attempt to defend himself, Caspar rolls over onto his stomach and tries to nudge the other knight away from his ticklish spots as Ashe moves up to his ribs.

“Ahahahashe!” Caspar yells through his laughter as he squirms under his friend’s hold.

“You’re right,” Ashe says with a slight smirk in his tone, “This does seem like a pretty effective method if you want to get someone to agree with you.”

“Ohoho thahahat’s it!” Caspar exclaims. He twists around enough to look over his shoulder, then grabs the top of Ashe’s arm to yank him downwards onto the carpet. Caspar swiftly pushes himself up, then looms over a still stunned Ashe, who landed on his back, with wiggling fingers.

“You’re in for it now, Ashe!” And with that, Caspar slips his hands under Ashe’s shirt, immediately clawing into the ticklish flesh beneath his clothes. Ashe jolts his body forward with a yelp and bursts into bubbly laughter from Caspar’s new tactic. He attempts to tug Caspar’s arms away from his ticklish middle, but he collapses back down onto the carpet in a giggly puddle when he no longer has the strength to hold himself up. The archer wraps his arms around himself and tries to twist from side to side while Caspar’s hands continue climbing up his torso, reaching all the way up to scribble into his underarms, then back down to his ribs and sides.

“So, what do you say Ashe? Are we going to go with my choice of names?” Caspar grins over his giggling friend. As much as he doesn’t want to give in, Ashe knows that he has no way of escaping this silly predicament without agreeing to Caspar’s terms. The archer prepares to say his final response through his laughter, when suddenly, the cat meows and diverts Caspar’s attention to his direction.

“Uh oh!” Caspar immediately stops tickling Ashe and rushes over to the dresser the cat climbed on top of, who’s currently getting ready to knock down a wobbling flower vase. “Careful little guy,” the knight says as he lifts the cat off the piece of furniture. The small creature’s tail dangles from side to side and he lets out a happy meow while looking up at Caspar.

“Oh you’re a sly one aren’t ya? I didn’t even see you get up there.” Upon hearing his own words, another idea clicks within Caspar’s head. “Hey, wait a minute! That’s it!”

Ashe weakly pushes himself up with his arm, still clutching his middle while he tries to fill his lungs back up with air. “What…What is it?”

“We can name him Sly!”

“Sly?” Ashe lifts himself from the ground to regain his footing and makes his way over to the cat and his friend.

“Yeah, it’s tough sounding and it’s fitting for his personality,” Caspar ends his sentence by turning the cat around in his hands for the animal’s adorable yellow eyes to now stare up into Ashe’s green ones.

Ashe thinks it over for a moment before responding. It’s hard to say no when the fuzzy creature looks so happy. He smiles and gives a small pat to the cat’s head. “Alright, Sly it is then.”

“Yes!” Caspar turns the cat around to face him again and holds him up high, “You hear that Sly! That’s your official name! Wear it proudly!”

Sly wags his tail in the air and beams with a gleeful meow, feeling right at home with the two knights that are kind enough to care for him.
