[ 1180 Glasses ] - Oversized glasses with unique frames formed in the shape of the year “1180”.

Elincia's hand clasps itself around Dimitri's wrist, a gleeful smile on her face. With a small tug and clear of her throat she grabs his attention.

"Dimitri! You're looking as dapper as ever! Let's go get a photo together, okay?" Their friendship had been strained slightly since her departure from the Blue Lions. It had seemed most appropriate to give him time and space at first. Now it felt like enough time had passed to remind him - in technicolour, if need be, that he would always be one of her dearest friends. "Look, they have all these fun props too! I love these glasses, they're so..." Stylish definitely wasn't the word. "Unique!"

She picks out a bright, cyan pair; a memento of her time in his class. No other colour would do, really. With one hand on her hip and the other pointing directly at him, she all but orders him.

"Get ready to strike a pose, Dimitri! I intent to savour this moment for the rest of my life."

It’s not like they had fought or anything- the opposite really. Nothing significant had happened, because students changing classes, mainly those that are not from Fódlan and therefore have nothing rooting them to a specific house, was a normal thing. It would be childishly petty of him to hold resentment over something like that. No, it wasn’t resentment. Nothing close to that.

Rather, it was a mixture of guilt and shame, perhaps embarrassment. She did it because she wished to grow into a complete ruler, yet a small part of Dimitri’s mind was stuck in an eternal loop that perhaps she did it because she was disappointed in him, because he hadn’t done enough as a classmate, friend or leader. That he just wasn’t enough and therefore didn’t deserve her company or time. That it was his fault.

It was stupid, he knew that wasn’t the case, yet there he was doing his best to not flinch as she lead him to the photography booth. That won’t do, you can’t behave like that. That’s not a behavior a future king should display, get it together. You’ll just upset her like that.

He grabbed the first pair of glasses within his reach.

Flash!

The pose had been done on a whim- Dimitri had never been good at dynamic posing that looked natural and not insanely awkward. "Uhm...I hope it looks good? My apologies if it did not but I am not very good at this..."
