Imagine a parent-teacher conference where Rodrigue accidentally spills some of Felix's most darkest, hidden secrets to Byelth. Not only that, but he doesn't know Felix and Byleth are dating—
Rodrigue: So, Professor, hopefully my son hasn't been causing you too much trouble, I trust?
Byleth: Oh, not at all sir! He may be a bit of a stubborn one, but he's certainly a good student!
Rodrigue: Ah, well that's good news! He's so different from the Felix in the past…
Byleth: Haha, I'm not surprised. I heard he was quite different when he was younger!
Rodrigue: Indeed, I still remember those days, always clinging onto that kitty toy of his…
Rodrigue: *chuckles* Yes, Felix use to have this cat teddy. We could never pry it off him! In fact, he’d attach his armour onto it to protect his ‘little baby’, as he liked to call it
Byleth: That so fu - ! - *ahem*, I mean… that’s adorable. Actually, I’ve noticed him pet many cats around the Monastery
Rodrigue: Heh, well at least you don’t find him walking around wearing his Mother’s jewellery!
Byleth: His Mother’s what?!
Rodrigue: Haha! Yes! That habit died a very long time ago, but no matter how well my wife would hide her jewellery, Felix always found ways to steal her bracelets and necklaces. Then, he’d waddle around declaring that he was a ‘pretty little boy’!
Byleth: Are you serious?! Wow… Felix has changed a lot
Rodrigue: He has… so, how has his performance in battle been—
Byleth: His studies are going great - what else would Felix do?!
Rodrigue: W-well! Er… hm, let me think… ah - yes! - this is a good one. Believe it or not, Felix use to love drawing. His art was… not great, but still sweet.
Byleth: Oh great Sothis - what would he draw?
Rodrigue: He liked drawing cats, but what he loved to draw most were pictures of, when they were engaged, my late son, Glenn, and Lady Ingrid. He’d draw photos of them kissing or holding hands, then run around the castle singing songs about them, er, ‘sitting in a tree’—
Rodrigue: E-er… yes! Haha! That’s how it went!
Byleth: Wow, sir, your son has certainly changed! I’m definitely using these stories for later…
Rodrigue: What was that, Professor?
Byleth: O-oh! Er, nothing! So… what were we talking about before?
Felix: Hey Byleth. So… I’m sorry you had to spend half an hour with my Father
Byleth: …An hour and a half, actually
Felix: Gods! I’m so sorry, Byleth
Byleth: Oh, no! The conference went very well! No need to worry! We enjoyed talking about you…
Felix: …Oh. Well, that’s good—
Byleth: It’s my new nickname for you. ‘Little baby’… what do you think of it?
Felix: It sounds stupid. I don’t like it - don’t call me that again!
Felix: Good… a-anyway, is that a new necklace? I don’t think I’ve seen you wear that before
Byleth: Oh no… you’re not planning on stealing it, right?
Felix: …What were you and my Father talking about?!
Byleth: About your performance at the academy!
Byleth: I am! I would never lie to you, would I?
Felix: Then answer me this - what were you and my Father talking about?!
Byleth: … … …About your songs and art
Later that evening, Felix penned a very, very, very angry and spiteful letter to his Father.
…In other words, it was a normal evening for the Fraldarius heir.
And a fun day for Byleth and Rodrigue.
