[Oh, good, they're on the same wavelength then. That actually gets something of a more genuine smile out of Edelgard; having control over the situation like this is good, and knowing that he's thinking similarly is good. It means that she can still salvage this.

...Not that she's sure why she wants to put more stock into this, but...]

I feel the same way. The future is unpredictable as it stands, and making any plans like that without properly knowing one another is ill-advised.

[It's an easy answer, though not entirely honest; the future is unpredictable because Edelgard intends to re-write it entirely, but Lorenz doesn't need to know that.]

I think that your solution would work quite well. [...] In fact, if you're so inclined, I would be willing to speak with the professors to arrange for you to work with the Black Eagles. You could transfer classes, or perhaps simply work with us on the missions that we are sent out to complete; that would surely allow us more time to get to know one another. Would either of those solutions suffice?

[This...is actually going much smoother than Edelgard was anticipating, honestly. Enough that she is putting the ball in his field; she's not sure if he would be so willing to leave the Golden Deer even on a temporary basis, but he is putting a lot of stock into this...]
