Didn't check. [ byleth admits that freely, smiling at her in the low light of the room. it's not as if she can just look out the window, and pulling away to grab one of their watches from the nightstand sounds like a much worse use of her arm than holding edelgard. ]
[Edelgard rolls over, scooting closer and putting one cool arm around Byleth's shoulders to draw her closer. This is probably the best way to wake up, surrounded by blankets and next to someone she loves.]
[ she lets out a breath, running a hand up and down edelgard's back. ]
Maybe. I suppose I tend to get excited for the festivals... [ maybe the novelty will wear off if they're both still here next year. though...curiosity flickers in the bond. it's not a new question, by any means, but... ]
Any dreams today? [ she knows how it feels when edelgard has one of her nightmares, so it's not as if she's worried about that—but still. ]
[Edelgard laughs, curling closer, amusement and delight flickering through the bond at all the attention. Her face nuzzles to Byleth's shoulder, and she kisses the skin gently.]
Never when you're here. I always sleep soundly then.
[ her eyes slip closed again, just for a moment. ]
The festival may be nice. [ but being like this with edelgard is tempting her towards the lazy option, and the slight reluctance shows in the bond. the joys of idling... ] I'll take Leslie, if she wants to go.
[ well. byleth would trust edelgard enough for that if they were ever without other options, but obviously, there's no reason to let it happen without cause. she nods at last, sitting up. ]
I should get dressed. [ she leans forward, resting a hand on edelgard's cheek and pressing a quick kiss to her lips. ] I'll see you downstairs?

We can go back to sleep, if you like.

Woke up early, then? Because of the holiday?

I'm glad. [ she tucks her chin above edelgard's head. ] I want you to feel safe, El. Always.
[ and if she can help her to feel that way... well, so much the better. ]

And I you, love. [Tilting a bit before popping closer, she pecks Byleth's cheek, then her lips, before sliding back to the original position]
Do you want to go enjoy the festival tonight? Or are you feeling like staying in?

[Edelgard laughs again, her grip tightening a bit.]
Perhaps the three of us can make an evening of it? We haven't had an outing together in some time.
no subject
I'd like that. [ hm... that does raise an unfortunate reality though. byleth groans. ] We'll have to get up first.

[Edelgard shifts a little, finally beginning to disentangle herself.]
And I need to eat, regardless. I'd...rather not risk biting you.

[Edelgard gently begins rolling away after the kiss breaks, sliding over to the small ice box.]
Give me...ten minutes?
