Oh, I was diligent and, I certainly was a model student. But I would also sneak out into the gardens after my lessons, and get into trouble.
[In the time before her trauma, at least. She hasn't, and doesn't, really intend to share that with Zelda right now if ever though. Her memories are spotty at best, anyway.]
If you don't believe me, Byleth, one of my Academy professors, is currently in Aefenglom.
Oh! Yes, I recall briefly meeting Lady Byleth before, though she introduced herself as your general rather than your professor.
[Admittedly, she finds it difficult to picture how an academy professor gets a promotion to army general, but it's not something she bothers with stewing over for the moment.]
While I am glad you have such a close friend from home in the city now, I still think I would prefer to hear of your misadventures directly from the source. [... She likes hanging out with Edelgard, what can she say.]
Oh, she is my general. High Marshall, the leader of my military forces. But before that, she was my professor. At the Garreg Mach Military Academy, she taught strategy and combat.
[And she was very good at it.]
There's not much truly exciting to tell though. I was like any rambunctious child, doubtless not all that different from yourself.
Perhaps they are stories I would find familiar, but they are still stories I would like to hear someday, simply because they are yours.
[And perhaps those words are a bit more honest and affectionate than she'd typically allow for, but she is content, and in this moment her heart feels mostly at ease. She leans over to reach a little deeper into the berry bush.]
We can talk about something else, though, if you like. I will not pry.
