" even if you wanted to " hmnh.. ..forgive me, teasing you is simply too fun. i, too, would like to see her dream fulfilled. ..or just be happy.

huh ? don't think i could, even if i wanted to. ( there's a roll of her shoulders. ) i, uh . . . it goes without saying, you're strong. and, that strength's useful to edelgard's dream, so.
hm. here we are. the only question remains.. what are you gonna do? about me, i mean. do you plan to keep me by your side forever?

yeah, well, don't get any wise ideas. ( there's a brief look away. ) . . . i get it though, even for as long as i've been around in my current lot, hard to forget what i knew best.
i'm not asking you to do anything. ( she smirked. ) yet, anyway. ..i'm used to being out there myself. killing any who stand in my way. only life i've ever truly known.

So, the crazier kind of war's the one I'm not even in the picture for, is that it ..? ( If that's the case, assuming Shez is actually following properly, that has its own slew of implications. Ugh, it really is way too complicated. ) ->
You could've been there, I- genuinely don't know. We haven't met, as far as those times. But I wouldn't wish that on you - she runs things much. . . calmer, now. Because she can. ( When you have figures like Jeritza and Dimitri leading massacres, it's hard for anyone to take

. . . Either way, I hear you. If some Cycle's gonna keep turning, sure enough there's gotta be one that's at least good enough ? ( Her usage of the word 'Cycle' like that comes out on its own, like a brief shade of Arval bleeding their way in. ) ->

( Yeah, that 'me' doesn't escape Shez's notice, who quietly processes it as Byleth speaks. ) . . . Geez, and they called you the Ashen Demon /before/. ( Just goes to show you, you can push a person even farther than you knew, or imagined. ) ->
I'm /hoping./ Because I can't do anything else but that. You think I'm scary as you know me? You should've seen me storm Enbarr. ( Not 'us.' 'Me.' The fact she's even saying that so confidently shows the trust she has in Shez to not spill things. ) ...Back then, or I guess

Sure is a good thing this 'me' is over the whole taking you down thing . . . ( Shez is rubbing over the back of her neck in brief reflection. A huff escaping her. Not like the memory of the past doesn't still sting. Just, to her, there's something more important. ) ->

( Something more important and, of course, worse stings to lament . . . After all, personal pride stops mattering much once its /your/ head rolling along with the lot of them. )

( shez groans. ) c'mon, frame it like that, and it sounds like you're asking me to wave a white flag. . . . yeah, things've gotten slow. not that i don't mind the chance to catch my breath.
tell me to stop and i will. otherwise? i'll keep flustering you. ..it beats standing around all day.

. . . Yeah, I do know. Still, doesn't mean we can't endeavor to get it as good as possible. ( Maybe that's idealistic on Shez's part, especially when she hasn't lived all that Byleth had. Still, she just wants things to be better. It can't be perfect, obviously, but. ) ->
Not- all of them. At the end of the day some things are just... destined to happen, you know? Things are much less bloody in this version of the war. It's. . . not pleasant, obviously, but it's a nice escape. ( There's a lot she's not saying, in those pauses. It's probably

( Better. Better would be enough. ) Think it'd /honestly/ make a difference ..? Or are you just spit-balling ?

( shez lets out a breath, rubbing over her own shoulder at all the teasing. ) there're people i can better take a hard time from, just 'cause i can expect it. this ? not so much . . .
( she giggled. ) i'm only messing with you.. but you're easy to make a mess into, y'know that?

Woah there, no need for /any/ of that. ( Shez does /not/ want to go there, especially bearing everything Byleth's been saying so far as truth. She doesn't really want to find out how it'd go. She has own power sure, but it has limits. Especially without Arval. ) ->
Then it's a show of power. You know how it went before, and that's before... all of this happened. ( She does a vague gesture towards the hair. ) I really don't want to do that. But my wallet's a lot deeper than you may expect, so long as I play the cards right. ( There are

I was just giving you a hard time. I, uh . . . I /want/ to help, honestly. ( Byleth may have gone through so much more, but she's still herself it seems. At least with cracks like those. ) 'Specially if it means better for all the others.
