[Lucina stands up, brushing off her school uniform.]

Then, I will be back shortly.

[With a short bow, she heads off, back to her room.]

Take some chocolate with you for the way back..!

[She starts to say, but...huh, she's gone, quick as a flash. What could she have wanted to show her..?]

[Lucina takes her time getting dressed in an outfit she hasn't shown anyone, tucks away her hair, and puts on that ever so familiar mask.

Once she's done, she returns to Anna's room. Mostly to show off something the girl didn't know about her. The part where she can pose as a man.

Of course, she deepens her voice for the occasion.]

Is this suitable for you, my lady?

[Oddly enough, she feels a lot more secure looking like this. Even if someone walked in at the wrong time to see Anna spending time with a suspicious male.]

...

[ OH NO SHE'S...SO HANDSOME.....?!

She almost doesn't recognize her at first, but, oh my goodness that is absolutely, unmistakably... ]

L-Lucina, you look amazing! Like, just, um, wow?! Oh my goodness...

[ Just give her a minute.. ]

No, if anyone here looks amazing, that would be you.

[Okay, she is pretty fabulous though. Especially with a far deeper bow this time.]

And please, like this, call me Marth.

[If she was blushing before, now she's turning even more red...it's almost like she's an entirely different person. The new air of confidence...she definitely seems more comfortable like this, that's for sure.]

Marth...that name sounds a little familiar, actually...

[She was sure Cynthia had mentioned it to her once or twice...]

Seriously, though, that's so cool...

You probably heard it from my sister.

[Lucina was fairly sure of that.]

Still...

[She held out a hand to Anna.]

Please, take it.

[ She thinks about it, but.. ]

A-ah, that's right! Marth was the Hero King, wasn't he? Or something like that! He's, I mean you're, like, a super-awesome legendary hero!

[ Fitting that Cynthia had wanted to look up to someone like that, of course, but...so many questions now! Was Marth just an alias, or was Lucina an actual super-hero, or...

She holds her hand out to Lucina, even with all of these thoughts sort of swirling. She reaches out and grips her friend's fingers... ]

I'm simply his descendent. Nothing more.

[Lucina lightly pulls Anna up to her feet.]

Shall we dance? We have no music but we can suffice.

That's still amazing, though! I mean, that you're related to someone so special...still, though, you're amazing both ways, you know.

[She lets herself get closer to her, wrapping her hand around Lucina's waist..]

Lead the way, then. I'm always okay to dance with you.

Birth should not make a person.

[Still-! She steps around with Anna, being more than happy to give her a slow spin every now and then.]

You're right on that...I know I never liked being treated differently because I'm royalty.

[She dips and twirls, swaying with her..she wishes she could look into her eyes, but still, Lucina is comfortable this way, clearly.]

But even so..you're very dashing, Marth.

Perhaps. But not as beautiful as yourself.

[It was simple enough to keep going. No music was different but Lucina felt a lot better like this. She had no idea why but hey, if it worked...]

You're really just saying that...

[She's personally used to dancing without music, after years and years of dancing in empty halls. And she's used to imagining partners enough that this comes so naturally to her, she can almost do it with her eyes closed. This...is really nice.]

Are you having fun?

Of course I am. With you, I can't think of much else other than enjoying myself.

Good. I'd like to keep if that way, if I can help it..

[She says, twirling once...twice...three times in one spin. She's clearly been doing this a while.]

You seem a lot more comfortable when you're leading..

It's habit.

[It really was.]

Rather than be a failed leader, like this, I feel more....successful. I can help and save others, just like the Marth of the past did.

Well, you don't just do that as Marth, you know. ...You've helped me a lot as Lucina, too. But if this gives you more courage, you should do what makes you feel most at ease with yourself. I'm really happy you shared this with me.

[Lucina stopped for the moment. Only to let go with one hand so she could pull off her mask. Once it was off, her hair tumbled down, revealing a shine in her eyes to go along with her smile.]

You're welcome.

[Oh gosh, Lucina...]

I gotta admit, I do like it better when I can see your eyes, though.

And I like being able to see yours clearly too.

[She looks at her for a second more, still holding her from the dance and looking at her face...

Before realizing that she's probably been looking for way too long oh my goodness how awkward...]

S-sorry! I-I guess I zoned out a little bit there..!

S-Same...

[She suddenly but delicately let's go of Anna's hand, more than aware of the air currently prevailing. She likes it, yes, but it's so...new that it's almost overwhelming. Of course, she's quite a bright red color.]

I should...probably go now.

U-um, if you really want to, then...

[ Anna's really red now too, but she doesn't want to keep Lucina if she wants to leave.. ]

I had a really great time tonight, though! I-I'd, uh, I'd really love to do it again sometime!

[She could leave in a rush. She really could but...]

I would love too. I promise!

[Those words were rushed. Mostly because of how nervous she suddenly felt. On impulse, she leaned over to give Anna a quick kiss on the cheek before making a break for it. Rather quickly.]

I promise, really!
