[ He'd be surprised if Felix didn't have some unpleasant thoughts regarding that. It's not like they've been able to address any of it in a while..
But after everything they've been through, he does indeed realize how important it is that he doesn't let Felix down. Especially after all the pain he's caused him— knowing that he still supports him...
The apology alone, makes him still for a bit, feeling a rush of warmth swarming the base of his head and to his ears. To hear such comforting words from Felix isn't the norm, but he's afraid if he teases him too much, he'll storm off. He doesn't want that right now...
So he acknowledges if, quietly. ]
I am to blame as well. This place... it's been rather... busy. But that's why we must make up for it now, Felix.
[ He's quiet as Felix speaks, then, as they walk together to the park that the path from their building leads to. ]
.. as for Edelgard... I spoke to her. She seemed frightened, if hiding it well. She also told me she'd run into you and Sylvain.
[ He sighs, looking ahead of him. ]
She's from before any of her painful actions progressed. I do not wish to have her live in a constant state of fear while here. I assured her that there would be no more threats to her from us.
[ He pauses, looking over at Felix with a softer look. ]
We don't need to have conflict here, even if it doesn't erase the years of sadness we endured. But this place is not to be our judgment ground. Or hers.
[ He hopes Felix understands. ]
... it also seems as though she has her own Professor. One that did not choose to stay with us... and one that is not a man.
[ And he's more confused about that. ]
Our world makes even less sense lately, doesn't it?
