OPEN POST: Claude von Riegan - Fire Emblem: Three Houses

[leicesters]

OPEN POST blah blah you know the drill! Leave me a starter, toss in a meme or picture prompt, or ask for a starter and I'll write you one.

Compliant with all Three Houses routes, plus Golden Wildfire from Three Hopes. Let me know if you have a preference!

Believe me, if they seriously wanted to invade, the little skirmishes at Fodlan's Throat would look like a joke in comparison. Even the forces I summoned to Derdriu would.

[He drains the last of his tea, pouring himself another cup, and a little more for Felix, too.]

I suppose that's part of the reason Rhea and Dimitri keep me around. [Emphasis on Rhea first; he knows who's really calling the shots on these decisions.] Best to stay on friendly terms with the neighbours when a lovely emperor is already knocking on your door.

Given the skill of those forces, I believe it. So what are those skirmishes for, then? Practice? Keeping their knowledge of the enemy's defenses up to date?

[It wouldn't be a bad reason, he thinks, except who would reach out to trade with people they still perceive as enemies?

He gives Claude a nod in thanks for the refill, then makes a wry sort of grunt.]

I wouldn't exactly call invading the Alliance with no provocation and capturing its leader 'friendly terms.'
