this is a comic I drew a while back thinking about Yuri's and Ashe's relationship and how it would differ in houses compared to hopes while trying to consider the kinship they feel due to their similar backgrounds and how things changed after they were placed in nobility environments.
I loved how Ashe expressed worry for Dedue after the reunion and wondered how he handles everything and how he might confide in Yuri who is the only character he has a prior connection with before the events of the game + their similar experiences I think would make it easier for them to bond
Yuri is understandably more guarded and careful with trust, but Ashe is so straight forward and genuine that I feel like he could get through to him and earn that trust. Ashe is open-minded and likes to assume the best, but he values the truth a lot, which is what I tried to show in this comic!
