Sakura:
    Just talk to her, give her the gift, and then run away. It's fine, Sakura... it's fine. Stop sweating. She's right there, under the tree. You need a friend. She's your age. She's small and cute, like you... get out there!         Less than stone's throw away. *DEEP BREATH* OK HERE WE GOOOOOOO"

padda padda padda

Elise:
    Um, hello!

Sakura
    HelloI'mPrincessSakuraofHoshidoandIknowwedon'treallyknoweachotherbutifCorrinthinksofyouasfamilyIshouldtoandwouldyouliketohangoutpleasetakethisgift.

Elise
    Oh! Thank you! I wish I had something to give in return...

Sakura
    Y-you are currently a guest in Hoshido. It would be rude of me to accept it anyway. It's my duty to provide the hospitality.

Elise
    Oh? Well, I've got nothing to worry about yay!... hmm


Sakura
    Is... is there something wrong? D-did I mess up?

Elise
    Are these... rations?

Sakura
    R-rations?

Elise
    Yeah, you know, military rations. White blocky rations.

Sakura
    I'm familiar with the word, yes, but-

Elise
    Then why'd you ask, Silly?

Sakura
    Because it's a dessert, not-

Elise
    OH! *munchmunchmunch* It's so soft! And silky! But still a bit chewy!

Sakura
    Yes, it's r-rice mochi, we make it by-

Elise
   It's delicious! Do you have any more?

Sakura
   More? I have the rest of this b-batch in my tent...

Elise
   Ooooo, can I come over? It's nice to have another girl my age around here. Camilla acts more like someone's grandma, she's no fun.

Sakura
   S-sure! I'll break out my sweets collection!

Elise
   Sakuraaaaaa!~

Sakura
`Oof! C-Careful Elise, you almost took me off my feet...

Elise
   Hmph! Don't be a baby! It's just a hug!

Sakura
   Yeah, but it's a heav-... it's surprising!

Elise
   H-heavy?!

Sakura
   I didn't say that!

Elise
   You didn't finish saying that!

Sakura
   W-well... maybe your clothes have been fitting a little tight, Elise...

Elise
    Wh-what ever could you mean? I'm petite and-

Sakura
    Elise...

Elise
   I know, I know... look at this tummy. I can put my hands on it and there's still a bunch of it showing. Maybe I should lay off the sweets. It's no fair! You eat just as much as I do, but you didn't get chubby!

Sakura
   I don't really know why, Elise but- WAAAAAAAH!!!

    *Ka-thud*

Elise
   Ooof! Sorry! I lost my balance, are you ok?!

Sakura
   I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry, I just need to get- *squish* Um.

Elise
   That's my belly...

Sakura
   I can tell... *sqiush squish*

Elise
   Well, do you want to let go of it?

Sakura
   Yes. Of course. Heheheheheh... um... how silly of me.

Elise
   At least you're ok, I didn't want to hurt you under my heaviness. 

Sakura
   S-sorry for being harsh about it. Say, Elise, I've got to go back to the kitchens and get a cake out of the oven... would you like to come with me and have a slice?

Elise
   That sounds delicious!... but I shouldn't. 

Sakura
   Nonsense! Y-you make the chubbiness look good! It just amplifies your cuteness!

Elise
   Really?!

Sakura
   Yeah! You're still like five times cuter than me! Maybe even six times now!

Elise
   No way, you're cuter!

Sakura

    Nuh uh you are!

Elise
   No, you!

Sakura
   No, y-

Sakura
   B-boys are just really dumb aren't they, Elise?

Elise
    Huh?

Sakura
    They're j-just, really annoying, treating me and you like we can't take care of ourselves! Ryoma's always going out of his way to make sure I don't have to try too hard, but I d-don't need it. Not anymore!

Elise
    Yeah! And Xander's getting all huffy with me because I'm 'out of shape'. I-it's not my fault. Camilla keeps feeding me at the dinner table. She says that with Corrin so busy she has no one else to look after. Am I just     supposed to say no?

Sakura
    A-and you're adorable! Like a fluffy kitten! Or a marshmallow!

Elise
   Uh huh! I'm super cute!... even if doors are kinda hard to squeeze through now.

Sakura
    B-besides, haven't Nohrian nobles in the past eaten lots to show how prosperous and powerful their kingdom is? I-it's only proper for your culture! (I didn't make that up, did I?)

Elise
    Uh... right! Totally! I'm just living up to my royal bloodline! 

Sakura
    Yeah! You don't need Xander to tell you what to do! And I don't need Ryoma to try to carry me around like luggage either!

Elise
    If anything all we need is each other!

Sakura
    Wha?!

Elise
    Well, when I first met you, I'd gone through a lot of hard times with my family... the whole deal with my 'father', thinking my brother had turned on me, having to run away to somewhere that wasn't my home. I         could have probably gotten through it, but it wouldn't have been as easy without a friend at my side.

Sakura
    A-and you've taught me to have a bit of backbone and to stick up for myself! Before meeting you, I don't think I could have ever thought about refusing Ryoma's help. I wouldn't have thought I was too capable on         my own either.

Elise
    So yeah... n-not that I don't love Xander, I know he just wants what's best for me. Or what he thinks is best for me.

Sakura
    R-right. I know Ryoma just loves me and doesn't want to see me get hurt... but I have to be able to look out for myself too!

Elise
    And you always have the best sweets. *drool*

Sakura
    Hey! Is that all I'm good for to you?!

Elise
    No! Of course not!... it's just a nice bonus!

Sakura
   W-well how's this for a bonus? Open wide!

Elise
   Where'd you get that cake? Hey, I'm not hungry! - MMPH!   

Sakura
    I can see why Camilla likes doing this feeding thing! It's kinda fun!

Sakura
    Elisssssse!~

Elise
    Oof! Sakura, watch out... nearly knocked the wind out of me.

Sakura
    If you still had any left in you from walking here, tubby~

Elise
    H-hey, did you call me all the way over to your tent just to make fun of me?

Sakura
    No, but it's fun! You're so big and squishy now! Like a ball! Hugging you is just the best.

Elise
    Well, you have my permission to hug all you want.

Sakura
    I... would really like that. Thanks. In fact... if given the choice. I'd never want to not be hugging you.

Elise
    U-uh... what do you mean?

Sakura
    Elise. I... I never want you to leave my side. 

Elise
    Sakura...

Sakura
    For better or for worse, no matter what anyone else might think about it. I... love you, Elise. And I want to be with you forever. I've felt this way ever since you fell on me in the hallway and I got to feel you against me. P-please, think about it.

Elise
    Yes

Sakura
    I-I'll make cake and mochi for you every day, I'll feed you and snuggle you as much as you want. I'll spoil you forever, j-just p-please...

Elise
    Yes

Sakura
    You make me feel so safe and so comfortable, both physically and mentally and... wait...

Elise
    Calm down... Yes, Sakura. I don't want to be away from you either~

Sakura
    E-Elise... *sniff*

Elise
    Now let me... erm... I don't think my arms wiggle that much... er... just hug my tummy, Sakura. And I think I'll take you up on that mochi offer~ I'm super hungry.

Sakura
    C-coming right up~ *sniff*
