[ Yuri only hums his agreement, at first. He doesn't know Byleth that well, but he knows the man is alarmingly new to dealing with people on a more personal level. As though his life has been all business, prior to joining the Kingdom Army. It'd be cruel, then, to deceive him.

He could, of course, simply avoid being seen in the open with any of them. Three was a manageable number, not to mention...he could always pretend he was trying to court them to change sides. Hell, he'd changed sides back home. ]

[ Meeting someone else who shared that concern was far more compelling than any lofty promises could ever have been. ]
