[This has to be a trap. There's no way she's genuinely this excited over befriending them. Lady Edelgard, perhaps, but him? Absolutely not. So it's as he suspected - she's far smarter than she pretends to be. Keeping an eye on them like this isn't something he wants, but he can't exactly deny her, not without it looking suspicious. She's most likely been sent to keep a closer eye on them by Rhea and Seteth... but have they done anything suspicious? Why send her here at all when no one seems to have any suspicions of what's to come?

This is something he'll have to puzzle out with Lady Edelgard when they next get a moment. For now, he has to pretend to be a normal student, which is far easier said than done.]

Lady Edelgard and I have been focused on our studies. [And plans.] But of course, it makes sense that you would want to get to know us better. I'll speak to her about it.
