[Ah, there she is, right on time. Not that he was expecting anything but punctuality from Edelgard, of course! Well, unless she had some urgent business to take care of, which he had admittedly almost been expecting. Lorenz understands just how dangerous her path forward is, and he understands how much work needs to be put into it. But he's pleased that she has some free time today anyway, and even more pleased when he realizes a certain looming shadow isn't threatening to block his view of the sun.]

You haven't, no need to worry. [Those very reassuring words earn a pleased grin.] I'm pleased to hear it. I cherish all the time we spend together, after all!

[...laying it on a little thick already, huh...

But Hubert doesn't appear out of nowhere to make himself known, so maybe they really are on their own for a little while. Good! Whatever Edelgard's tasked him with will hopefully keep him occupied for that long!]

Well then, let us be off!

[He wants to offer her his arm, but they're supposed to be rather discreet about their courting... So instead he starts walking, in no hurry so she can keep pace easily beside him.]
