[Video] UN: CheckTheSyllabus

[perfectteatime]

[ Oh hello. It's the Professor. He's still not looking too great. Still a bit thin and sleep-deprived, but better than when he arrived. ]

Hello. A few things to address here. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Byleth Eisner. Many simply call me Professor as that was my previous profession in life.

To those of you who do know me- if those of you from Fodlan would report in. I need to get a count of all those present.

Dimitri and I have located a place that we may settle foe the time being. It's a large family house, it seems. There is much work to be done, and I intend to do that the traditional way as much as I can. That said, anyone who would like to may come stay with us. You do not have to have be from Fodlan. There are several bedrooms, but I ask that you please assist in the repair.

There are several other houses around here as well, if anyone wants their own space, I can't speak for the condition of them, but they look similar to this one. These are all near a series of ponds and a lake. I will include the location in this message.

On to the second matter.

I understand that this place wants us to engage in intimacy with the interest of "improving" our lives here. I am not unfamiliar with this notion, it was similar to the island I was on previously, though it appears to be less demanding at the very least.

That said, I am willing to entertain such activities, but with the caveat that you want to. Not simply to obtain something, but rather that you would simply enjoy doing that with me and would not harbor any regrets.

I am not interested in being used, but I am open to the idea of intimacy for intimacy's sake.

That's all.

Fe...lix???

No- who are you?

1/2

[At first, all Glenn can do is laugh, body shaking just from how much this seems to happen already. Give him a few moments, please.]

2/2

[fraldaridead]

[He manages to calm down before long, thankfully. He clears his throat more than once, his whole face beaming in mirth.]

You should see your face!!

No, I'm not Felix. My name is Glenn Luc Fraldarius - the very much deceased older brother. A pleasure to meet you.

[perfectteatime]

Oh!

[ THE Glenn. The much spoken of Glenn. Well damn. Color him surprised. ]

Nice to meet you too. Apologies, you two are so much alike but- [ But he's never seen Felix laugh like that. A shame. ] I am Felix's teacher, Byleth Eisner.

[bestswordmaster]

We're not that alike.

[Even after they're dead, people can't stop comparing them?? Give him a fucking break.]

Byleth is a master swordsman. I've only ever beaten him in a duel once.

[He sounds very proud to have such a badass mentor.]

[fraldaridead]

[The mentioning of a "master swordsman" gets all of Glenn's attention. The urge to laugh some more is stifled, for now.]

Ahh, so you've trained together with him?

He looks pretty unassuming at first glance to me. Not that I disbelieve you, Fe.

[bestswordmaster]

Hmph. Judging by appearances will—

[…uhh. He was going to say ‘will get you killed’ but wow does he not want to say that to Glenn.]

…it’s a bad idea. The professor was raised as a mercenary. One day, I will surpass him.

[perfectteatime]

Ah... let's not set the expectations too high now.

[ Well NOW he's blushing. ]

Regardless it is- unexpected but quite pleasant to meet you. Now seeing the two of you, Glenn does take more after Rodrigue in appearance doesn't he? Apologies, I am quite tired, I ought not to make that mistake again.

[fraldaridead]

[Oh no, that's so... cute??]

Yeah. Though, being mistaken for my very skilled little brothers here? It's not too bad to me. Better than being compared to the old man.

Still-- a mercenary? Not a fighting style I've had a lot of experience near on a more collaborative scale.

Though I don't see how those expectations could be too high.

I want to see what you're made of. Once we're both closer to our top form, I want to fight you. I want to see what my brothers see in you for myself.

[Though he fully expects to get his ass kicked, he's not about to say as much.]

[perfectteatime]

Yes well you definitely lack the- [ He makes a gesture to his chin. You can't really call that a beard. ]

Surely Felix is exa- [ WELP. OKAY. I GUESS??? Why are you all like this? He can absolutely see where Felix gets it. ] Ah... sure. Yes. We can spar once we get things settled here.

[fraldaridead]

[Glenn's expression warms, before the more cocky appearance takes back over like a smug little shit.]

Good. I'll hold you to it.

[AKA: yes, thank you very much!]

[bestswordmaster]

[Easy for Glenn to say it's fine being compared to Felix, he hasn't had to spend a decade constantly failing to live up to the expectations Glenn set...]

I'm not exaggerating. You'll see. We need to get our hands on a few weapons, though. I don't like being without my sword.

[disshonor]

[Fight talk? FIGHT TALK??? Things are still awkward, but he's here for fight talk.]

I... think I need to see this.

[Glenn vs Byleth? He feels like this is going to be important.]

The ridiculous pressure on peace here better not make it too difficult to obtain weapons or a place to train.

[fraldaridead]

Yeah. I'm going to go absolutely stir crazy if I can't eventually get my hands on something to train with.

[It's good for focus, for tiring out his body when his mind races. For sorting through thoughts, or even just putting them away for awhile.]

Finding a proper place to train, at least, should be an easier goal. I haven't been able to travel very far yet,

[Curse this body. Curse dying.]

but I've been trying to keep an eye out for a spacious area that's flat.

If I find anything, you all will be the first to know.

[bestswordmaster]

That Peacekeeper thing did say we could ask questions. I'm going to ask it for my sword back. Denying us weapons and then expecting us to hunt for food is absurd.

[disshonor]

They won't stop us from at least doing hand-to-hand.

[fraldaridead]

That's true. You certainly proved that very well when we reunited.

[Just. Going to pointedly look at that brother in particular with a cheeky grin. Sure, he lost. Horribly. Does he care? No.

[He's just stupidly proud. So strong, his little brothers!]

[perfectteatime]

Sothis help me, there are three of you.

[fraldaridead]

No, not three, unfortunately. Four.

[Glenn visibly grimaces.]

The old man's here, too.

[perfectteatime]

Seriously?

Wow. That must be... are you all alright?

[bestswordmaster]

[Felix blinks, wide-eyed for a second, until he remembers: they're all dead. Of course Rodrigue is here. It was only a matter of time. His brow furrows, then, and he glances away from the screen.]

I...didn't know that. Where is he?

[disshonor]

I... saw him. But I wasn't sure that I really saw him... damn it. He was just eating cake.

[bestswordmaster]

Wait, the old man was eating that cake!?

[Color drains from Felix's face. He really, really does not want to know anything about that. At all. Ever.]

[fraldaridead]

I managed to keep him distracted for a little while. Not sure where he went after.

...What about the cake???

[bestswordmaster]

Nothing. Forget I mentioned it.
