The look on his face for the moment is the look of a man who wants to leap into the nearest volcano. Both at Armin's praise and at the notion that he's been 'practically floating'. That would be jinxing things somehow, wouldn't it? Probably not, says the rational part of his brain, which doesn't get a say here right now, thank you.

"I'm not... I don't float, it's - he's exaggerating."

Thankfully, he's not too flustered. And doesn't move away from Byleth, just idly linking their arms after he gets nudged.

"Maybe," he says, in response to the urge to open classes. "I wouldn't mind... there's probably space in the observatory somewhere."
