Byleth

While the Ashen Demon has made a few bonds of friendship with his new allies over the past months—perhaps including both Lady Edelgard and yourself—you may want to prepare for the worst. Have a horse at the ready.

Ferdinand

You will be hearing about this at a headache-inducing volume for the rest of your days. A life serving Lady Edelgard is not meant to be an easy one.

Caspar

He seems to have forgotten already—or perhaps he is simply taking his partner’s wish to bury this hatchet to heart.

Linhardt

He will grumble, and that will be all. He has a nose for true danger, and this is not that. A nap will remedy all.

Ashe

Ah. The boy is upset. Again.

So be it.

Lorenz

Fortunately for all, the new Count Gloucester is not so petty as to let mere words affect the course of Fódlan: this will not be a diplomatic issue.

Even so, there will be shouting.

Raphael

Raphael is a simple man, and that is not an insult. If Shez does not wish to make an issue of this, he will simply brush it aside.

Have the kitchen prepare a ham, just in case.

Ignatz

He appears to have already begun on a portrait which depicts you in a rather unflattering light, yet allows for plausible deniability of his intent. If your public legacy is to be a subject of such ridicule, so be it.

Yuri

Is that a knife tickling your throat? So soon, Mr. Leclerc?

Does Shez know?

Balthus

You will wake up two days later in the infirmary, missing a few teeth. Balthus will insist that he merely gave you a ‘tap’—with his forehead, to your chin.

Jeritza

Hm. Perhaps Lysithea will save you?

No. Surround yourself with cats, and all will be well.

Jeralt

The Blade Breaker himself is formidable, but consider: Byleth has proven that he will go to great lengths for his father’s wellbeing. Given that Shez yet draws breath—did he just muss the Ashen Demon’s hair?—it may well be that Byleth now has two.
