[Byleth brushed the lingering salt from his gloves.]
I'm always insecure about Jeralt knowing that I love him, and... whether he loves me back. Even he thinks there's something wrong with me, but still, he cares for me. That has to mean something...
[It was a difficult and thorny emotion to untangle, Byleth's feelings for Jeralt. He loved his father, but there were other things attached to it too.]
He acknowledges my strangeness, yet cares for me anyway. The only one to do so... that's why I'd trade my power for his continued existence. Its rooted entirely in the selfish desire to keep that. If anyone ever hurt him... I'd never... forgive them....
[It was like a shadow, that flickered through his gaze for a moment, like a slumbering beast came close to rousing at this hypothetical scenario, before it passed as quickly as it came.]
......but fortunately, Jeralt's quite strong. I rarely have to worry about his life.
