The days following Terence’s encounter with Dion pass slowly. Painfully. In some ways, nothing changes. His days follow the same routines as they have for several years. In other ways, everything is different now.
Terence can only interpret Dion’s avoidance of the subject of what transpired between them as regret. They continue to spend time together outside of duty, but there is a new distance between them. Neither of them know how to talk about this thing hanging between them, nor do they know how to talk about anything else.
Terence learns to live with his heartbreak as days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. When the Dragoons are deployed to deal with a Royalist incursion, Dion is called upon to field Bahamut in battle for the first time. In the aftermath, the Knight and his Prince find solace in each other once more.
