[There's a breath he threatens to choke on, a feeling of warmth building in his chest that it threatens to overwhelm him. He has to close his eyes at the prickle of phantom tears at the corner of his eyes, heaving a shaky laugh to hide the outpouring of emotion he feels.
How could it be real, Claude has to wonder. That someone would stand by his dream--share his dream with him for something better. He had come to Fodlan expecting a lonely struggle, a fight to prove that he deserved to exist. But instead he found something so dear that he could hardly believe fate would be so kind to him.]
You really don't know how happy I am to hear you say that. [He clears his throat, trying to shake away the wavering of his words] Thank you, Byleth. Truly. I couldn't accomplish all of this without you by my side.
[He opens his eyes once again, shinning bright with appreciation and adoration.]
