[ Dimitri. The name naturally stood out, considering how important a figure the man was in their army and to Yuri personally. He let the name sweep by without remark, letting his focus instead remain on what Byleth had to say of them and their circumstances. Of their war.
They didn't know Shez.
They knew Byleth not as the Ashen Demon, but a schoolteacher.
It was bizarre to consider, yet Byleth was a man of bracing honesty. Yuri hardly had to know him at all to know this. There would also be no gain from lying even if he were not so blunt in his nature. So that left them with two leaders who evidently knew them as other people, not as the mercenaries they were. ]
I'd be a bit of a fool to turn down that proposal, considering what you can do. [ And Byleth would benefit from someone with his particular set of skills. Few in Fódlan planned the way he did, for one thing. Fewer still had his particilar variety of experience. ] So, I'll take you up on that.
[ While Yuri generally avoided direct contact the majority of the time, he stuck a hand out just the same. ]
