[The country is at war, and that means Sylvain is far busier than he ever has been, protecting friends and allies. It also means he wants a distraction even more than he used to. In some ways he’s less of an apparent slouch than when he was at the Academy, but in other ways his habits are still just as bad.

Like, for example, picking up complete strangers in bars. He has a good feeling about this one though- he doesn’t try to make things complicated. He doesn’t want to know anything too personal about Sylvain. He’s on the same page, and that helps Sylvain relax just a inch. Not enough to take off the mask of course, but enough to really enjoy himself without wondering if he’s going to get a marriage proposal the next morning.

He smirks right back at Luca, happy to be led away.]

I couldn’t agree more.
