Elinini are such a beautifully crafted relationship, and i dare say the best one in all FE. The way they get closer as the game progresses, but at all moments Ninian is conscious about her ~secret~ and not being fully honest because she appreciates Eliwood (and the whole group) a lot, they have been so kind to her and Nils but she repays them with what she considers deceive. But Eliwood doesn't mind, he is okay as along as Ninian is Ninian and she takes the time she needs to be comfortable telling them what she keeps hiden...all he wants in Ninian to feel okay, to not feel guilty, to be comfortable...he is so so gentle and kind and knowing that is canon that Ninian was in love with him from the very start, even before meeting him, no matter if you end up pairing them or not, is so gjdhfhdjhfj to me...

They make me so emotional and giddy

I would love to say much more about them but that's what comes to mind now. They are so so cute and soft and so in love i'm hngnhn 🥹😭💕 elinini the world
