Why I Would Like to Hold Raphael From Fire Emblem
From the outset, it’s established that Raphael is just a good-natured dude. He’ll never judge you for the way you look, he’s up for a delightful misadventure at any point, and he always knows the best place to hide the bodies.
While reading all of his support conversations, he doesn’t exactly allude to the notion that he would like to hold hands, but equally, there is no reason to believe that he would rebuff the opportunity, should it present itself.
Admittedly, you’ll have to catch him at the right moment. He’s often eating or training, and the foolhardy who approach him at such times may end up with their hands being eaten or trained. Proposition him in his more lucid state, however, and he just might think to himself, ‘hmm, this is nice. I’m fond of this. Almost as fond as I am of the Blue Lions house, but I shan’t tell a soul as it will break poor old Claude’s heart’.
He confesses to being lacking as a student and may find this a learning experience. His reward will be extra credit, the likes of which could only be rivaled by a particularly exquisite tea party. Your reward, obviously, will be holding his hand.
Also, here is a third article I wrote that I couldn’t come up with a smooth way of integrating into this piece.
