-You just said it, in past tense. -she remarked. -And aye, I love you, Estinien. Because that hatred was born from the wish of protection and cherish to your loved ones. I love you for your devotion, for how hard you have worked to be where you are now. I love you for trusting me, as I've trusted you. I love you for your willpower and courage. I love you for your nobility and sense of duty. I love you for what you were, you are and you will be. My answer will always be the same, Estinien.
Stellaris pretended confidence, being a handful of nerves inside. Estinien caressed her face.
-For a long while, I believed I didn't deserve to be happy. All I had inside my head was hatred. The moment I saw you for the first time, I knew fate united us under the mantle of Azure Dragoons. If I could endure against Nidhogg until Azys Lla incident, and even possessed by him, was because thinking about you kept me sane in my madness. -he had a slight blush. -Thank you for giving me this chance, Stellaris. I promise to make effort as your battle partner… And as your lover, milady.

💋Happy Kiss Day!💋
[3.3, Coerthas Central Highlands]
Before the departure, Estinien asked Stellaris to accompany him...
Dialogue in descriptions! Will be expanded in the future! #ffxiv #Estillaris #XIVArt #Stellarislore
![-I'd recommend you to regain strength, tomorrow will be a tough day. -Estinien remarked.
-I need to cleanse myself. - Stellaris opened up. -May I accompany you?
-Aye.
She sat beside him. During some minutes, they remained in silence under the starry sky.
-Your inner dragon is unstable. -Estinien appreciated. -What does disrupt you?
-Nidhogg appears in my nightmares since our first encounter. -she confessed, dull.
-Sometimes... The first bad experience whispered that he knew my secret, asking who I truly was, calling me mendacious traitor. -Stellaris touched her heart. -Now Nidhogg enquires why I fight, what and whom I want to protect, threatening me that one day I'll lose everything. I'm ignorant if it's my own mind wreaking havoc.
-And you still haven't seen him face to face. Will you be ready to execute him when the moment arrives?
-Of course, and we'll survive. -she replied, with no trace of doubt. -I won't allow you to die until you're happy. That's my promise.
