[ That makes his gaze grow a little gentler, and he turns so that he can fully face Felix. Honestly, it's a bit hard to not... Felix has become an astoundingly strapping young warrior, which is a far cry from how cute and squishy he used to be as a child. Always following Sylvain around and crying when he couldn't get his attention...
The thought makes him smile just a bit, and he lifts his gaze to him, meeting Felix's squarely. ]
Then... answer me this, Felix. You aren't.. unhappy here, are you?
[ Because if there is anything making him uncomfortable or unhappy, he'd like to hear it. He doesn't want to cast a blind eye to his ... future? Or present Duke... any more than he doesn't want to look away from his Margrave.
He's not sure how well Felix will be taking to the position, or Sylvain for that matter— but as his most trusted and loyal friends... he cannot be ignorant or trapped in his own head anymore. ]
[ One mention of how squishy he used to be and this sentimental outing is over and done with forever, Dimitri.
That aside, Felix does take a moment to ponder the question, a very light frown stitching into his brow. Is he unhappy? He's not thrilled honestly, but it's not like he's dying either. Even with the awful moon cycles, he's pretty well taken care of. By Sylvain or by strangers who won't ask questions or tease him. ]
I'd rather be home.
[ They have a lot of work to do, after all. He was never really prepared to be Duke Fraldarius, but he'll take the role seriously now that he has it. Or will have it. ]
Do you think I couldn't handle it if someone was "unkind"? I'm fine.
