Byleth did not ever think it was possible to lose Sothis in a crowd. Unlike him a person who sank into the background easily, she was so loud she immediately commanded all of your attention. Even when she was now more than just a voice in his head, Byleth was still compelled to listen to her.
But... He lost her again. She was going to call him an airhead for this, and lecture him again. He made his way through the crowd standing tall above it when he noticed a familiar head of green hair. He immediately reached out and patted her on the head like one would a child, on instinct alone.
“Getting lost, now you’re the one whose acting like a kid...” He muttered stroking her hair kindly. He did not really know who he was at heart, he was raised by Jeralt, he heard a voice in his head for some reason, but he was starting to think he might be a teacher at heart. Then his hand froze as he realized the person he had started petting in public was not Sothis at all.
“Oh, you’re not....” He tilted his head to the side, his mouth fell open in surprise but no further words came out as he quieted. Then, he collected himself and asked. “Have you seen a sassy lost child, with seaweed hair like yours?”
