I'm quite serious

I likve Merric ans Elice. (Merric is Marth's childhood friend, and Elice is Marth's sister)
An illustration for this scene, what I liked (especially with my fantasy
Elice's dress from FE11. I saw on a pic, but that is not so clear, but I think it's good for her.
Merric's dress. I disliked the original dress of him xD too big, and he lost in that did you read the Manga about Marth? now, in that Merric wear a dress like this (but I didn't draw that hat to him, I like his hair!!)
Background is simple. I didn't remember, there were in a forest or not, when they were talked like this? (I think I made a mistake, and there were between the woods xD)

Here the text (and video: [link] ) :
Merric: Princess Elice! You're safe!
Elice: Oh, my! Merric, is that you? I haven't seen you in ages... ...So you've been fighting with the League? Thank you for keeping Marth safe.
Merric: Well, I did learn a spell or two in Khadein. Here, Princess. Get behind me. I'll face the enemy for us both.
Elice: You'll...face the...? Aha ha, oh, Merric!
Merric: Wh...what's so funny, Princess? I was quite serious, I'll have you know!
Elice: Ha ha, forgive me, Merric. It's just, I remembered you when you were little... You were always a bit delicate. Oftentimes I had to nurse you back to health. Remember?
Merric: But that was- I couldn't- Yes.
Elice: And look at you now. Such a brave, strong man! A far cry from the old Merric. But you don't have to pretend. I know you're far too sweet to mow down hordes of enemies. And...I think I prefer it that way.
Merric: You...you do?

I hope you like it ^^
