Byleth, Flayn enter the scene

Excuse me, Professor. May I have a moment of your time?
link
Certainly.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Ah, wonderful! I was hoping you might enlighten me. About yourself, that is.
link
Flayn
volume_up

You see, I happen to be quite curious about you.
link
Oh? Why is that?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Well, because. There is something different about you. You possess an air of mystery...
link
Flayn
volume_up

I could not help but notice when first we met. I am intrigued, to say the least.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I find it rather difficult to put into words...
link
Flayn
volume_up

Were I to wax poetic, I would say you remind me of the sea. Have you ever been, Professor?
link
A few times, yes.
link
Flayn
volume_up

The sea is vast. Boundless. On the surface, all seems still. Yet beneath that stillness, it is unfathomably deep.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Within, it teems with life, yet without, one is lucky to glimpse a fleeting shadow.
link
Flayn
volume_up

And yet, all one must do is cast a line to grasp hold of all that life! You cannot see it at a glance, but it is there all the same.
link
What are you talking about, exactly?
link
Flayn
volume_up

About fish, of course! Oh, bother. I got sidetracked, didn't I? Right. About the sea...
link
Flayn
volume_up

During a storm, the once calm waters become mighty enough to overturn even the vastest ships.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Not unlike you. You are calm—you carry yourself with poise. Yet you wield great power.
link
Flayn
volume_up

My brother was uncertain of you at first. He once referred to you as a youth of...dubious origin.
link
Flayn
volume_up

My brother is uncertain of you, however. He referred to you as a youth of...dubious origin.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh, but please do not think ill of him! He is incredibly dedicated to his work.
link
Flayn
volume_up

So surely you understand why he would have doubts about one of whom he knows so little.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Nobody even seems to know your age! Incidentally, how old are you?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Wait—you do not know your own age? You truly are mysterious!
link
Flayn
volume_up

Aha! I suspect that if you choose not to say, you must be quite young.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Hmm... Looking at you, it is quite difficult for me to determine.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I wonder... Could you be younger than your own students?
link
And how old are you?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Who, me?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Well, I am roughly the same age as the other youths here!
link
You look younger than the others...
link
Flayn
volume_up

Be that as it may, it is simply not the case.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh, by the way... You should know I had actually been considering enrolling in the academy for a while.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I have endured hard times, but I am so grateful that those very experiences led to my acceptance at the academy.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh, by the way, I... I have actually been considering enrolling in the academy myself.
link
Flayn
volume_up

But my brother will not allow it. He is a touch overprotective at times...
link
Flayn
volume_up

Oh! My apologies! I am sure you have much work to do. I will not keep you any longer!
link
Flayn
volume_up

We must speak again sometime...if that would be all right. Have a lovely day!
