[lmao. her expression turns a bit withering]

Less frivolous priorities, backstabbing, and false pretenses?

[a beat]

... well, I could pick a less rude answer, but mine is nonetheless honest.

[divineimpulse]

[lmfao

byleth has to cover her mouth with a hand, but her eyes dance.]

Very to the point.

[azuta]

[she giggles then, unrepentant]

I think my reasoning for preferring Wiwaldi is clear. High society may appear to suit me, but that doesn't mean I like it.

And I think I'm worse at it than many might expect anyway.

[divineimpulse]

[she nods!]

The most important thing is that you're happy.

To that end, to me, it doesn't matter what people expect of you.

[azuta]

An excellent way of thinking! I hope to pursue that type of life one day, hopefully.

For now, I'll manage expectations and myself as much as I can.

[divineimpulse]

That's a good way of looking at it.

You must be the top of your class, Viola.

[she stops, and reconsiders.]

I meant... the more traditional classes.

[azuta]

[she smiles]

I work hard to maintain my studies so I may excel in my future. But I don't think it's anything particularly grand.

[divineimpulse]

[byleth flips the fish, and spoons melted butter over the other side, silent for a moment.]

In the larger scheme of things, I suppose not.

But excelling at anything is reason to celebrate. It's an indicator of greater things.

[azuta]

Maybe so...

I just like to keep busy. It's nice when there's fruits of my efforts to revel in - but mostly I think I want to ensure I'm in a good position to help others.

[divineimpulse]

[byleth nods again.]

A rising tide floats all boats.
