Hey, Teach...do you mind me saying that this seems like a really bad idea? What happened to you not liking being alone? I don't think you've suddenly developed a taste for it.

You don't have to run off. There's better ways.

[perfectteatime]

I definitely understand the concern, and I really do appreciate it. I won't be alone, I have my Pokemon with me, and I will make sure to call often.

I wanted to do the gyms anyways, and this seems like a good chance to center myself and think about a few things. I promise I'm not running from my problems. I will be back within a month at most.

If you wanted to visit or accompany me through some of my travels though, I would be amicable to that.

[vrdantwind]

You know that's not the same. I was under the impression that it was us you missed. Pokémon aren't going to take our place. At least, I hope not.

It'd be one thing to take a few days away if you really need some alone time, but a month? Longer, maybe? The travel times are pretty significant, and that's assuming you don't stop over in the cities for any length of time. It's too much, Teach.

And if this isn't running from your problems, does that mean you've talked over things with everyone already? Like Dimitri? You've totally discussed the stuff that came up with him already, right? There's no unaddressed issues you're just kinda leaving on the table while you go off and do this?

[perfectteatime]

No. Pokémon can't replace any of you, and I do realize it's a while. I did talk to Dimitri after, and I promise things will be okay. I talked to Shiro too of course.

I'm honestly kind of flattered you're this worried about me... not that I expect any less of you. I can always use the warps to come home, too.

Would it make you feel better if I went with Felix and Sylvain? You're also welcome to come if you want to spend some time with me.

[vrdantwind]

Of course I'm worried about you, Teach. And this is a totally normal amount for me to be worried. I saw how rough a time you were having the day of, you know? I know what this is about. And I don't think it's the best way to deal with how you're feeling about it.

I don't really want any of you to just run off by yourselves, but I'll concede I'd feel better if you had somebody with you. And I'd like to come with you...but I've got too many people who need looking after here. You know it'd all fall apart without me~.

[perfectteatime]

I'm sorry to have worried you, but it really does mean a lot that you care this much, and I say that with the utmost sincerity. I don't want you to worry but. I think that's kind of part of having loved ones, isn't it?

How about this- I'll make a visit home in the middle of things. Just so I'm not gone that long.

[vrdantwind]

It is. As for how much I care, it'd be weird if I cared any less.

Hmm...make it a couple visits, and you've got a deal. [Claude when did this become you and Byleth striking a bargain?]

[perfectteatime]

One condition: cuddle me.

[vrdantwind]

Done! Nice doing business with you, Teach~ No takebacks!

[perfectteatime]

Wouldn't dream of it.
