We found Sieghart in the river, unconscious. He woke when we disturbed him.
He didn't remember departing his dormitory.
[and she'd talked to him, talked him up and down about what he could and could not remember. so if dimitri was a similar case... this was better than asking him a bunch of questions that he was too tired of being posed to him.
[ he goes quiet a while, contemplative, cautious. the breeze carries the silence. he's holding his tongue, and only seems to eventually release it because it's byleth. ]
...Bites from the wildlife here. [ he rolls up his sleeve to show a few, still fresh. ] Barely substantive.

As you said with Sieghart, I don't remember sustaining them.

plus, he deserved to know.]
no subject
So I have heard.
[ the amount of people who somehow found him on this roof. he's gotten bad at hiding, apparently. ]
And you think he speaks the truth?
no subject
interesting.
she moves a few steps closer, hoping to get a good once-over of him before the light drops much lower.]
I do. He was frustrated.
[as someone with memory loss tends to be.]
Have you spoken to many?
no subject
[ he doesn't really seem to mind the latter, though he knows the creature is watching him. ]
no subject
Are you injured at all...?

Thank you for showing me.
