I see. Curiously enough, I'e also been told something by Cetina, and assigned a task. I was thinking of discussing it with yourself and Claude. I assume you had the same thought?
[While Byleth voice is, as per usual, even and almost flat, there was a faint flutter of positive feeling behind the word - he was happy for Dimitri, since it seemed Dimitri was pleased about it.]
Admittedly, I know little about Springstar's military prowess, but I know that you're a very powerful warrior. You'll do well as a commander, Dimitri.
Yes, I think so as well. And it will give me something to do with myself.
[ There's a mental chuckle. ]
I don't know if you'd be interested in joining up as an assistant or aide, would you? I'd probably have to check with the General - it isn't my army any longer - but having you by my side certainly couldn't hurt.
...I'll need to think on it. Being a mercenary allows me to maintain a level of freedom over the battles I choose to involve myself in. As a soldier, that luxury is absent, as orders must be obeyed.
[Also... Byleth had only ever taken orders from Jeralt, who was the one who handled the contracts and interpreting the client's wishes for the upcoming battles. It rubbed him all wrong to 'replace' Jeralt with another commander, even if it would be temporary and impersonal.]
But, if you ever need my blade to help you, I'll always accept your contract. [He abruptly recalled a phrase he had heard Shez toss around before.] I'll even give you the "friend discount".
I wasn't offered a job, as such, but I was given a task to investigate the disappearance of three people. I only knew one of them in passing, as we spoke once, but the other two I've never encountered before.
[He sighed quietly.]
I've done bounty hunting before, but there's normally more information than a name, and I am familiar with the locales most bounties go to ground when evading capture. Here... I am ignorant. I was planning to ask for both your and Claude's assistance with this task, if you're able.
Interesting. I'd be willing to assist as much as I can, but I fear I'm going to be busy over the next few weeks... this unit I was speaking of is likely going to Alenroux in the near future. Although... don't tell anyone.

Understood. Don't hesitate to call on me, either. What is it you've heard on your end?
