Fire Emblem: Fates liveplay! (inactive)

Shut up.

I don't think people livestream Nintendo 3DS without equipment and expensive/obnoxious jury rigging, so, screw that, even if I wanted to. I will update this post throughout playing on my commentary etc.

KAZE/CORRIN

Kaze is laboring under a heavy bag of radishes, which Corrin is puzzled by. He informs her with some exasperation that women are always just giving him things, like food, or articles of their clothing, and sometimes they shriek and throw themselves at him.

I bet Corrin can sympathize about the frustrations of being loved too much! She says that he's just popular with women because he's kind and pretty but mysterious, so women are basically all over that. For some reason Kaze is even MORE exasperated at this news, has no use for frivolities like attractions, and anyway he's "not a good man".

Corrin: Say what?
Kaze: NINJA VANISH

3/5, short, okay shipping potential, better friendship potential

[sincere]

Corrin has been upset about the "not a good man" comment, so she finally asks Kaze if she can follow him around town so she can let him know every time he does something lovable. You're so cute, Corrin???

Kaze really would prefer to be a bad person than lovable, so he does his ninja vanish, but she doesn't relent, stomping around shouting "KAZEEEEEEE" until he gives in and comes back to scold her for her recklessness.

CORRIN: You're right. I'm sorry. I just wanted to find you so badly...
CORRIN: Thank you for coming back. I know you did it because you were worried for my safety.
CORRIN: ...thus proving how good of a guy you are!

He is really hostile to compliments, and he snaps at her a little before she finally concedes that she's being a pest, and then she leaves. ...and Kaze feels bad, because... good guy.

4/5, and I want to squeeze Corrin

Kaze apologizes to Corrin for being less than amazingly kind to her the other day. But the truth is... He is the reason she was kidnapped by Nohr all those years ago! He noticed that there were Nohrian forces in town, the same Nohrian forces who killed King Sumeragi and kidnapped Corrin! And he didn't say anything!

Corrin: Weren't you, like, ten?
Kaze: I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
Kaze: OR I SHOULD HAVE PAID WITH MY LIFE
Kaze: EITHER WAY

Corrin disagrees. He's obviously lived with this horrendous guilt for a long time now, and it just was not his fault. Also, he's technically the one who brought her back to Hoshido too, right? So let's just pretend this whole thing isn't a thing, because it isn't. Kaze finally relents and says that Corrin reminds him of Queen Mikoto. Apparently Mikoto had already forgiven him for quote-unquote "being responsible for Corrin's kidnapping" but he was excited to be able to beat himself up for it again. Still, for them both to have forgiven him, and for him to be tied to Corrin in this way...

KAZE: Perhaps you are the one I was meant to serve.
KAZE: You must have noticed everyone in Hoshido's royal family has two retainers.
KAZE: Though I have served the royal family for some time, I have no single master. I've always been troubled by this fact, but perhaps Lady Mikoto arranged it... so that someday, when the time was right, I would serve you, Lady Corrin.
KAZE: If you will have me, then I will pledge myself to you.

Adorable! I'm super into the knight-pledging-to-specific-member-of-royalty thing, and it was lovely to actually see it play out in a meaningful way. (See: Suzaku and like half of Lelouch's family.) Also, we've gotten somewhat far from the original cute "how do I not get hit on" premise, but this is also a cute and somewhat shippy place to end up. 5/5!

Also, huh, Orochi was Mikoto's retainer, Kagero is Ryoma's second retainer. Didn't know that. Also, don't know Reina.
