[Byleth paused before answering:] I agree with that assessment.
[The creature had reached out to them first, it was true. It had clearly desired to communicate with them, to impart something upon them - but for whatever reason, it had spooked and retreated, and though Byleth had thought back to the moment repeatedly, he couldn't put his finger on what, exactly, had terrified the creature. What had it sensed? Had it been them? An idle thought? Or something else that had been preying on them unseen in the background?
If it wouldn't harm the creature, then maybe...]
It reached out to us first - eagerly. It imparted a lot of information, but it was disjointed and difficult to parse... if it had been building up to something, we never got to witness it, as it fled from us without warning. Whether it was us or something else that terrified it, I cannot say. It happened too quickly.
