Edelgard had intended to revisit this topic sooner, to meet with Corrin and discuss the process, to lay out some thoughts, and weigh options. Time was ever the most potent enemy, and preoccupied as she was with getting used to her bond with Hubert, she had delayed a week longer than they'd agreed. Yet, as she sat waiting for the other young woman in the Coven's bonding antechamber, she found herself smiling. Not only in anticipation of Corrin's strength further anchoring her will, but at the fact that she had made an honest to goddess friend that wasn't someone who worked for her. It was a painful quandary she had found herself in, but knowing Corrin wanted this too worked wonders for banishing the anxiety. But it was still not an easy thing to surmount.

She had arrived early for their agreed upon meeting, much earlier than necessary, and when Corrin did make her way into the room, the Emperor rose quickly and crossed with a wave and a real smile.

"Hello, Corrin. Thank you for coming."

Corrin felt her breath catch when Edelgard's finger traced along her temple, and it took her a few moments to gather her thoughts together. It really did seem to amplify things when they touched, but she'd been so caught up in the moment earlier she hadn't realized it. But it had been so clear there...

She licked her lips twice before she found the words she wanted, accompanied with a wry little smile.

"Don't get too dependent on it, even if I have my dark days, you know." She laughed softly as she said it, though it was hard to tell if she was kidding or not.
