Yeah. [Alear nods her head, still a little visibly confused, but she doesn't seem to have any further complaint.] That's more than good enough. I want to do everything I can to keep you all safe, but I can only do so much, you know? I'm...
I'm only one person, but I hope to really do my best for you all.
[Miss Rhea's given her a lot to live up to; she wants to excel so badly. Maybe then, she'll find her way in life, and...]
And...sorry, about getting so nagging about it. No hard feelings...?
[There's a brief moment where he actually feels sort of... weird. Like maybe putting his kinks ahead of her is actually kind of. Not great? But that's weird and gross and so Griss dismisses the thought with a shrug. He's never cared about anyone who isn't Zephia, and he isn't going to start now.]
Eh, it's fine. I ain't that torn up about it.
[Though given the shrug and smirk that follows, he's not torn up about it at all.]
But your efforts are probably better spent on the others.
[People like Linhardt and Caspar who could use a guiding hand, or Dorothea and Petra who have so much potential. He's not going to make her life easy, so getting hung up on him is just a waste of both their time.]
[Alear was fully prepared to just roll her eyes a bit and walk away, pleased enough with that answer...but then Griss had to speak up again, and Alear's cheeks puff out in response.]
You don't need to worry where I put my efforts. I want to help everyone I can, and that does include you, Griss. I want to do what I can for all of you, and I don't want to leave anyone behind.
[Alear is about to turn on her heel and walk away, when her eyes seem to perk upon seeing something--one of the church guards makes their way over to her, standing at attention.]
Alear, Lady Rhea is looking for you; there is something important that she needs to speak to you on the matter of. Now, if you please.
Ah--! [Alear straightens almost instantly, nodding her head.] Yes, of course! I'll make my way to her office at once!
[And, with an apologetic look to Griss--]
Sorry, it looks like I've gotta run. Let's talk again sometime, okay?
[And with that, Alear's just going to dart off like her feet are on fire because AAAAAA CANNOT MAKE MOTHER MAD--]

[Linhardt's definitely better at it, but Griss has had a fair bit of practice. Mostly on himself, but let's not talk about that—]
I'm not stupid enough to risk infection or debilitating injury. I ain't gonna cause problems for the Black Eagles with it. It's just for fun, yeah?
[He lowers his shirt, but doesn't bother buttoning the overcoat back up.]
But I'll take that compromise. I'll be fully healed before any battles we face. Good enough?
