[By the time Dimitri makes his way to meadows filled with flowers, it is just past golden hour. The sky a lovely shade of pinks, blues and lavenders. It's not yet sundown completely and still has hints of golden yellow to shine. The flowers almost seem to glow in the light, looking even more beautiful in the light. It isn't only the flowers that seem to glow and appear lovelier in the light. Ashe is there surrounded by the flowers and the darkening sky, the way his silvery hair seems to shine like starlight. It's something Dimitri's always thought so lovely of Ashe, how precious the man actually is.
Dimitri doesn't dare disturb him with his presence just yet, taking a moment to watch him. He looks so much like the doe-eyed freckled knight from his time, the very one he had kissed a year ago but he sees this is someone else entirely. There is a similar softness to this Ashe's face but also a harshness that could only be obtained from living a harsh life, one Dimitri understands. There is a sadness to him.
He stands still for a moment before walking over to the man, slowly. He's mindful of the flowers as he walks until a blue one catches his eye. Had he been Dedue he might know what flower this is but as himself he does not. Dimitri plucks it, walking it over to Ashe in his quiet gait before placing it behind his ear.]
I hope I have not kept you waiting long. Are you enjoying the flowers?
[The dog is roughly the size of a wolf, but ragged and terribly skinny. Upon seeing Dimitri, he hunches down, tail tucking between his legs. But then, when Dimitri crouches, he lifts his head. Carefully, he pads over until he can stretch out his neck and snuffle Dimitri's leg.]
[The closer the dog or rather wolf gets, the worse it looks. It barely looks like it should be standing with how grail it is. Its so similar to Loog in that regard that Dimitri can't help but feel bad for the poor thing and his own DTF he's abused himself.]
It's okay. I won't hurt you.
[Carefully and slowly he reaches for the head, rrunning a hand through the scraggly dark fur.]
[Dimitri reaches into his pockets and pulls out a bag of treats he got earlier. He wasn't sure if a DTF can eat since his is robotic but he holds out the bag for the wolf to munch on.]
There there little one, eat as much as you'd like.
[There is a hesitation before dimitri pets its head once more. This time as he does he starts to tear up. This is Felix’s soul, the man he loves so much and all he can have it seems is this manifestation and not the man himself. Tears start to fall down his cheeks as he gets to his knees and wraps his arms around the wolf, holding it as it eats.]
[Dimitri pulls back for a moment at the words to look at the wolf. It has the same eyes as Felix which does nothing for the tears slowly wetting his face. He shouldnt, he knows he shouldn'tlet himself get attached but he csnt help it.]
I...I'm sorry. Please don't leave..not yet...please..please let me hold you.
[Its stupid, this isnt Felix and yet here he is picking the wolf up to hold closer to himself. His tears mingling with the fur. Even if it doesn't feel like Felix he still thinks he can feel the warmth from the others heartbeat, somehow. Maybe he's finally gone mad.]
[He knows the wolf means well but those words stab worse then any blade hes ever felt.]
N-no...Dimitri isn't a good boy...I've long since killed the boy Felix knew as good...I'm a monster...
[A hiccup leaves him, hes tearing up too much not to start sobbing. His grip on the wolf tightens for a moment before he thinks it might be too tight and he lets it go completely.]
Tell your master not to find me again...please...I shouldn't be around him...he deserves someone...someone not me..please take care of him, little one.
[Black Dog whines, nosing at Dimitri's arm. He wishes he knew how to tell Dimitri that he's wrong, but he can't put the words together. Eventually, after a long moment, he turns and slowly starts to pad away, head low and tail limp.]
[Its utterly oainful watching the wolf try to stay and when he finally does leave so too does Dimitri go back to the house to hold his own dtf for the first time since hes arrived.
If the wolf does decide to visit again there is a bowl of food that will be near a blanket left out for it. 'KYPHON' is carved into the metal bowl, meant only for Felix’s wolf. ]
