Caspar is a spy, and Linhardt worries his mouth will get him into trouble…which it does.
“Good job, Caspar. Thanks to your reports, we have a light at the end of this dark tunnel.” Byleth, Caspar’s old professor said, as they fixed their hair into its usual style. Using an old gift from the Blue Lions “It’s no problem, Professor. I want this war over just as much as the next guy” the shorter male stated, before picking up his bag “I need to get back to the Strike Force, before they suspect something.” He turned to leave, stopped by the professor placing their hand on his shoulder “They believe you are burying the dead, do they not?” They questioned “Uh.. yes, they do.” The other answered, confused “Why not stay a moment,” they offered ,“someone in particular has been worried about you.” The professor said once more, gesturing towards the doorway where a soft ‘eh’ could be heard. When Caspar investigated the noise, he came face to face with his friend, Linhardt, who he had not seen since the First Battle of Garreg Mach. He had grown older, as had Caspar, it had been five years after all. “Lin I- I’m relived to see your safe!” Caspar exclaimed, half of him wanting to hug the man, the other half wanting to place a hand on his shoulder, he chose the latter. The green haired male relaxed when the shorters hand had been placed on his shoulder. “Caspar you had me concerned… I did not know what became of you and our professor is not so inclined to speak to me, especially about… this!” Linhardt remarked, gesturing to Caspar “About me?” “Yes, you.” Linhardt sighed ,”I won’t hold you up, you must get back to the Strike Force… But please remain vigilant and watch what you say.” “I will Lin, don’t die out there” As quickly as he had appeared in front of him, Caspar was gone. Returning to his camp “You know, it would be better to tell him.” “I would rather not risk our friendship. I can cope with being his friend, Professor.” The professor gave a chuckle, followed by a knowing look “Alright, Linhardt. But it’s an option you have.” then, they walked off to find everyone and hear their reports, and hear what they had to say. Linhardt stood outside on the balcony, leaning on the stone walls. He couldn’t help but let his mind wander to the more peaceful days, to days when the shorter male would come to him, injured and looking for advice on how to defeat taller people, Linhardt would be lying if he said he did not find this funny but to the days when Linhardt would be protected by the ‘Tiny Ball of Energy’ not fighting for his life in a war. When his former classmates didn’t chase him around a battlefield, attempting to kill him. Caspar was still on his side, he was an ally, but he felt worlds apart. No matter who had accompanied him, he had an overwhelming sense of loneliness. A sigh escaped him as he stepped back inside.
Days turned into weeks, weeks nearly turned into months. Yet no word from Caspar. Even if he was unsure of this fact, the professor themselves had seemed a little worried. Yet it took Linhardt far to much courage to ask the professor. He wanted this to remain a hunch, a theory. He did not want this to become a reality. But he had to, if Caspar was found out then Byleth would know. Seeing the professor in the war room, Linhardt inhaled before approaching them “Professor.” Linhardt’s nervousness surfaced and came out with his voice, “L…Linhardt..!” The professor said, startled. “Apologies… I didn’t see you there.” “Sorry for startling you, but… is something wrong?” Linhardt said his prayers to a Goddess the swore abandoned him five years ago, when he thought he saw Caspar for the last time. “Y..yes. Caspar has not been in contact. Our final transaction was him leaving a white lily with Anna.” “A white lily? A code you and Caspar have, I assume.” “It is. It represents ‘Ive been found out, help’” Linhardts world stopped dead, the professors tired eyes as they said this to him were an image he couldn’t shake. He could hear a version of Caspar in his head repeat the message and corrupt it.
I’ve been found out, Help.
Help! I’ve been found out- Their going to kill me!
I’ve been dead for nearly a month, yet you couldn’t man up and get the professor to tell you. Coward
His thoughts were stopped far to late for his liking, the professors worried eyes met his. “Linhardt! Snap out of it!” the professors hands were pushed off his shoulders as he gripped the sides of his head, desperately trying to keep tears from falling. “Oh goddess..” Byleth muttered, pulling the male into a hug. “Linhardt calm down… Please…” The healer took some time to become functional again, and just before Byleth was about to pull away from the hug, A soldier ran inside the war room “Mx. Byleth! We have recived a letter!” “Can it wait, sir?” “Its from Emperor Edelguard and Sir Hubert…Sir Caspar—“ Hearing the name, Linhardts posture straightened “What about him?!” “He’s being held hostage. They’re offering an exchange— Sir Linhardt for Sir Caspar” “…What…” A figure from behind the soldier spoke up, that figure was Gilbert who had chased the soldier to try and keep them from disturbing Byleth “Why would they want Linhardt?” “He would be the Strike Force’s only healer… But he joined the Kingdom.” Byleth muttered, piecing together the situation. “Professor-“ before he could finish the professor nodded “I know. We’ll come up with a plan, Gilbert. Sound the bell. Everyone needs to gather in the war room.” Soon, everyone had gathered. Everyone knew Caspar was on our side, he was captured. They were offering a trade. After many ideas went around the table, everyone settled for Lysitheia’s idea. once the trade was completed, Linhardt would cast Warp on Hubert and warp him away from the exchange. Then he would use an offensive spell against Edelguard and run. But Linhardt was unsure, he would be able to cause an injury- but to a classmate who could ruin his life? He shuddered at the thought of the sinarios of what happened if he did and didn’t attack.
“Just tell us, Bergliez. How is the Kingdom getting support!” Caspar spat out the water in his mouth “Keep trying, vampy! I can do this all day!” Hubert sighed “You have no chance, you know this. Yet you still resist…” the black haired man shoved Caspars head into the icy water infront of him, at this point Hubert knew when to let Caspar up for air, it was irritating this had gone on so long. Pulled back out of the water, Caspar regained his breath. Hubert took a look at his condition- His armor was off, his shirt and bottoms were practically garbage and his face was bloody and brused. He had fight in him, a bit too much fight. “I suppose this method will get us nowhere.” Hubert remarked. pulling Caspar away from the water and towards the middle of the room, “But it does open to another possibility” Hubert smirked, electricity crackling from his fingertips. The scream that came from Caspar echoed, even echoing into Linhardts mind. who wondered what was happening to his friend.
The day had arrived, the day marked. The exchange date. Linhardt stood next to Byleth as Hubert and Edelguard warped to the area, Caspar with them. He looked weak- his arms were tied behind his back and he was blindfolded, it was the only way to keep him from knowing what was going on. “We held up our end of the deal, Hubert! Give us back Caspar!” “We will take Herving first, Professor” the mage remarked, Byleth pulled the healer closer “At the same time, then. Vestra.” they remarked coldly. Hubert nodded as the two begain to walk towards eachother, Linhardt following Byleth and Caspar being pushed along by Hubert. Byleth held one hand out to take Caspar, as Hubert did the same. 3… 2… 1…
Caspar fell fowards into Byleths arms with a grunt, and Hubert wrapped his hand around Linhardts upper arm. Quickly remembering the plan, Linhardt warped Hubert away, and seeing as Edelguard was far enough away, he ran back behind the professor. “As expected. You had a plan. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame.” Edelguard said, before being warped away. Byleth released a breath they didnt know they held and Linhardt frantically removed the blindfold and untied Caspars arms, which limply fell to his sides. “We need to get back- We need Mercedes and Marianne.” Byleth nodded and mounted the wyvern they had used to get here and flew towards Garreg Mach. Soon landing close to the medical room. Linhardt struggled to carry Caspar to the medical room as Byleth ran to find the other two healers, for right now, Linhardt had to keep Caspar stable on his own, But his current struggle was getting to the medical room. Step by step, second my second, blood drop by blood drop. Eventually Linhardt made it to the medical room and set Caspar down on the cot to begin examining and healing his wounds. There were many cuts on his stomach and chest, but one looked the worse, a slash across Caspars stomach that seemed very deep and might very well be infected. Linhardt focused on healing the majority of the worse injuries, and bandaging the ones he couldn’t fully heal. The next thing Linhardt had to do was change Caspar, his shirt was soaked and bloody, which alongside the overpowering scent of blood and the scarlet liquid on his hands and clothes made the healer want to vomit. Yet he pushed the urge down, his mind didn’t see a moment to vomit, it saw his friend. Soaked, bloody, brused, burned and heard his labored breathing and had a singular focus.
heal him.
Caspar’s breathing wouldn’t steady, and Linhardts heartbeat wouldn’t slow down. The green haired man could only do so much, and he was nearing the end of that road.
heal him.
An idea flickered into the healers head. Grabbing an elixir off the shelf, he casted a healing spell on it- hoping this insane idea would work.
heal him.
Linhardt had his wounded friend drink the elixir. Yet for the beginning it didn’t work. But soon- Caspar’s breathing became normal and the minor injuries Linhardt didn’t think to heal had disappeared. The healer exhaled, nearly collapsing on the spot but he kept his balance.
Days went by painstakingly slow. Yet on the sixth day, Mercedes had arrived at the door of Linhardts dorm with a smile. Knowing, Linhardt begain running to the medical room- the area was filled with a loud voice. Marianne was talking with none other then Caspar, who quickly looked over to the door when Linhardt opened it and his smiled widened- if it was possible. Mercedes called Marianne over to go to the dining hall with her, leaving the green haired healer and the blue haired fighter alone. “Hey Lin..” “Caspar- I told you to remain vigilant.” Linhardt mentally kicked himself for what he said. “I know you did. Sorry. But thanks for helping to rescue me.” Marianne must’ve told Caspar about how he got here. “It was Lysitheas idea” “I’ll have to thank her. But you were really brave.” “I wasnt. I just warped Hubert away.” “And carried me up here, avoided the urge to vomit- apparently, and managed to heal most of my injuries! You’re really amazing Lin!” “Thank you. I suppose.” Without warning, Caspar stood up from the cot. Linhardt moved next to him to keep him on his feet “You shouldn’t be on your feet yet, Caspar!” “Sorry. I just needed you close enough.” “I beg your par-?” Linhardt was cut off by Caspar’s lips connecting with his own, quickly they pulled away and Caspar apologized for the blunt action and seemed overall nervous until Linhardt planted a kiss on his lips to quiet him.
Meanwhile in the hall, The professor gave a nod to themselves. Proud of their students.
