Got any embarrassing stories about Seteth?

Not as many as with students, no. 

There are some, however. Seteth was cautious and strategic in most of his pastimes and behaviors, but there is no such thing as perfect concealment when he has so many centuries of knowledge to disguise. Particularly as language and perceptions evolve.

Simply put, he once used the term ‘intercourse’ with the outdated definition ‘conversation’ when it has since obtained a rather different meaning. Manuela derived no small amount of delight from it, at least. Any information she has is only secure for a day or so, given her nightly proceedings.

Hey there, Felix! I went to Manuela earlier for some health tips, and she told me I'm suffering from a serious lack of quality time with my handsome, dashing boyfriend. You think you could spare some time for tea? - Sylvain [They haven't talked in a bit, so I figured I'd have Sylvain be flirty, haha. You can answer this whenever you'd like!]

Sylvain that was so disgustingly sweet.

I have some time. Want me to help prepare?

*Drunk out of their mind* Found ya Lenny!

Wow, you are... really far gone. Alright, let’s get you to the infirmary to sleep this off. Manuela can try to help you salvage tomorrow... Probably.

I really hope Lenny paid your tab.

An easy question with a simple answer: Constance.

I would consider the professor and the other Black Eagles students to be friends of mine as well, and I have nothing but respect for Lysithea after the hardship she has overcome. While I find Hanneman exasperating at times and Manuela is far too dramatic for my liking, I don’t dislike them.

Yet Constance spent her initial “friendship” with Lady Edelgard openly attempting to have her noble house restored through Her Majesty when she had markedly more important matters to attend to. Lady Edelgard was endeavoring to free humanity from the creatures who have oppressed us for generations, and Constance was forming new magical spells for the sole purpose of adding color to her tea. To say she was squandering her talents and focusing on fleeting, superficial matters is the polite way to put it.

Over time, she has changed her stance to better align with Her Majesty’s vision, but in my experience, people rarely change their stance on a matter so essential to their identity. Should Constance be selfless in a time of duress or simply apply herself to a goal greater than her own success, I will be re-evaluate my opinion. Until then, I have the lowest regard for Constance of all Her Majesty’s companions.

can you kindly murder me in my sleep? like you can chose the method but like I think it'd be kinda hot if you did. uh I'll threaten Edelgard so my death benefits her.

While it is possible for me to kindly murder you, I’m convinced you don’t understand the permanence of the act. I’ll bear the request in mind should the situation call for it. Until then, rest assured you can handle whatever arises.

Although you may want to critically assess the attributes and encounters you find attractive. Manuela may be able to help you where that’s concerned; she’s developing a field of healing with words that should prove effective.

Of course, if you did genuinely threaten Her Majesty, your death would not be kind in the slightest.

Did you know Manuela once hit on king Lambert? While Liliya was there with him! That woman has balls XD

I didn’t, but you know what? I’m not surprised. Professor Manuela is one brave woman, and she’s not afraid to put herself out there in the pursuit of love and happiness. Even if there’s times she really shouldn’t, what’s not to admire? I think it takes real strength to be that bold, and that’s worth praising her for.

When I was a young boy My father Was A young boy To see a marching band He said Son when you grow up would you be MY FATHER damn He said will you JOIN THEM Your demons And all he non-believers The JOIN THE BLACK PARADE Because WHEN I WAS MY FATHER A YOUNG BOY TOOK ME INTO THE CITY TO SEE A CITY

Alright, I’m a little confused... Is this a poem? It’s a poem, isn’t it? Weirdest poem I’ve ever read, and I think it’s just lost on me. Maybe ask Manuela or Dorothea? Star in enough operas, and I’m sure you pick this kind of thing apart in a single breath.

Me, though? Not so much. How do you become your own father? What’s that supposed to represent?

[askhubertvonvestra]

*POOF!* *An antique music-box appeared! There’s a note on top of it* Do you remember this melody? The professor used to play this song when the students were sleepy. Love, [DATA EXPUNGED]

...Hm. To warp an item like that, this must be from Linhardt or Dorothea. Perhaps Hanneman or Manuela would know about the professor’s habits as well. The handwriting is too unclear to be certain who it was, exactly.

Regardless, there’s no sense in having it play. It’s hardly the time to be groggy and slow to respond.
