#mentioned felix

Overlooking the fact that I oversee a full force of assassins that I might send... Dorothea, Caspar, and Raphael are immediately out. Not because they are not capable, but because there is a brightness in them I wish to preserve. Felix and Petra are solid choices, but I would likewise rather they were spared the burden. They have endured enough.

The natural choices for someone to take my place in the role are Jeritza and Yuri. They are familiar with the task, and I often find them working in the shadows where I tend to our cause as it is. I am confident they would handle such an assignment deftly and for a fair price. Likely a favor in Yuri's case, and presumably nothing at all for Jeritza. Rather, nothing beyond his normal pay from the Empire.

There are only a few that are not common knowledge. I assume all of Fódlan knows of Dimitri and his culinary interest in the weeds at Garreg Mach. I’m not typically one for gossip, but if it will appease your need for it, I can indulge the one tale.

As usual, Felix was going through his regimen on the training grounds while Sylvain watched on from the sidelines. He was feeling particularly spiteful that day, it would seem, and approached Sylvain where he flirted with a girl in the stands. After a resounding and habitually empty lecture, he took Sylvain’s canteen and drank directly from it.

I’m gonna step in and protect you from yourself here: that’s a horrible idea. 

You wouldn’t even have to worry about any of us coming after you, which we would, because you really wouldn’t make it that far. It’s not like you’re stealing a vase. This is Felix. He’s going to fight every step of the way with anything he can get his hands on. At that point, we’d be rescuing you more than him.

Oh, wow, this is embarrassing... We weren't being that productive. Or at least, not like that. I just invited Felix to my room to help me clean it, and the day got away from us. With the war and everything, the state of my room has gotten really out of hand. I'm too stressed to deal with it all alone, you know? So I got the guy I trust most to get the job done.

With me, of course! I'm not Hilda.

We moved all the furniture, cleaned it and underneath it too, then we had to go and put it all back exactly where we found it... Let me tell you, we were really thorough. Nighttime probably wasn't the best time for it, so I'm sorry if we woke you up.

To pay you back, why don't I help you with your training? Felix is always so busy with his, so it's probably better to just leave this to me. Don't worry, I'm a fantastic teacher! I don't have any secret techniques, but I'm sure I can help you get more from your training.

I trust you'll keep the secret! Our parents knew each other, so we’ve been friends basically since we could walk.

He was a lot less brazen as a kid, and I was just about the same. It didn’t take long at all for him to start following me around on all the adventures I’d get into. Even when he thought they were stupid! 

Hey, you shouldn’t take that personally! He does that to pretty much everyone. Even his sisters! Uh, some more than others. Look, Kirby can stay here and drown his sorrows in cake, which... I’m not really sure how he eats it in one whole bite like that. But if it works, it works!
