Romance… with an injured soldier and a very worried princess. And a horse.

This occurs shortly after the previous picture. Seth was badly hurt, but still managed to whip around, pick up Eirika, and ride away. Valter didn’t follow.
After defeating some random bandits out to capture the princess, the two ride to the neighbouring kingdom of Frelia. Eirika’s best friend Princess Tana lives there. Ephraim’s rival Prince Innes lives there too. And that’s where Eirika’s father, King Fado, wanted her to go. So off they ride without pause through the night. The dots are stars. I rather like this picture; it’s quite good, not counting the tiny arms and hands and the terrible legs.

Eirika’s really beautiful.

It’s hard to draw Seth. He has such distinctive hair that is hard to get right.

And Eirika’s not in love with Seth. Yet.

Y’know, FE 8 has such distinctive colours (although L’Arachel’s hair is honeybrown, not green!) and the sprites (and characters) are so unique compared to the others, FE8 is really a joy to play and a wonder to behold. I love it.

Not even counting the romance!
