"Yes. I'm sure you recognize Sakura in the rear there. The woman on the pegasus is Hinoka, and the boy behind her with the bow is Takumi. The one fighting against Xander is Ryoma, my older brother." She gestured to each of her siblings in turn.
She turned towards the other side of the battle, eyes flicking through the more spread out ranks of the Nohrians...
"The commander battling Ryoma is Xander, my eldest brother. The boy behind him with the angry eyes is Leo, our younger brother." She pointed, then gestured above them into the sky.
"See the purple haired woman with the axe? On the wyvern. That's Camilla. And if you look way back there..." She gestured towards the rear of the army, where a girl who was barely out of being called a child sat on a horse. "That's Elise, the youngest. I still can't believe she came with them..."
Corrin trialed off. There was a fondness in her voice as she pointed to each of them, but a pain too, a sort of uncertain longing. Aside from the briefest of visits by Sakura, it had been...eight months since she'd seen any of them. The memory was as much a blessing as a curse, really. Pointing them out helped a little, at least. Made them feel closer somehow.
Before them, the memory Corrin and Azura were still speaking.
Corrin: I wish I could think of another way. Jakob, take Azura and try to stop the commander of the Nohrian forces. Jakob: But Lady Corrin-
The memory of Corrin cut him off with a gesture.
Corrin: Jakob, please.
Her butler looked like he was going to object again, a deep frown on his face, but Corrin met his gaze evening and after a few uncertain seconds he nodded.
Jakob: As you wish. Corrin: Thank you. I'll see about the Hoshidan commander. Azura is right, Ryoma and Xander can't ignore us if we stop their armies. Azura: Are you certain?
Corrin gave a faint, wry smile that Edelgard probably recognized.
Corrin: No. When you're done, try to head towards Xander and Ryoma, I'll meet you there. And don't kill anyone.
She hesitated.
Corrin: Not unless you have to, at least.
There was another long, silent pause before the three nodded and turned to head in two directions.
