FE SS 2014 - Far More Important

_{Geoffrey: Your Majesty! What are you doing with that lance?
Elincia: I asked your servant for it, and he gave it to me.
Geoffrey: Why would Your Majesty, as queen, do such a thing? Who knows how tangled the web of rumors could become, because of that…
Elincia: Let the court say what it wishes. You are far more important to me than the whispers of nattering nobles.
Geoffrey: …You don’t need to say that.
Elincia: Geoffrey… I’m sorry.
Geoffrey: I don’t understand. What’s wrong?
Elincia: Three years ago… you fought to free Crimea from the clutches of Daein. While you held this lance, your courage was dauntless and your prowess, legendary.
Geoffrey: Yes. It’s a brave lance, and I’m very proud of it.
Elincia: I… I can’t have you raise the same lance against your fellow people of Crimea. I’m sorry… I just can’t.
Geoffrey: Your Majesty is worried about the shadow it would cast over my name? The dishonor of using that weapon on Crimeans?
Elincia: I would never want to damage your pride as a knight. It would be too much to bear.
Geoffrey: Believe no such thing, Your Majesty. My pride as a knight is most deeply rooted in my service to you. That will never waver, no matter what. Elincia… You know that.
Elincia: Then take your lance. Use it to fight for Crimea once again.}

My Secret Santa gift for fireemblem-club's annual exchange.  This is for Pastel-Cloud   I got all excited when I saw that they liked Elincia and Geoffrey since I think they are adorable and really do not get enough love.  I always loved the above base conversation between the two and have always seen it as the archetypal scene between a Queen and her Knight, so I wanted to give it that feel.  There's such a mix of honour, duty and love in this scene that always stuck with me.
