Fairly, but it's more amusing.

"Well, first off, about me, well, where's the fun in telling you everything about me, right?" Claude chuckled. "After all, what's life without a little mystery?" He was a bit more forthcoming about the other members of the Golden Deer House. Lorenz sounded like he could be trouble, he sounded arrogant, and assumed himself to be a ladies man, a thought that made Sothis snort.

'No one who has to go around telling others they are a ladies man actually is,' she opined. Byleth didn't dispute that. Raphael sounded like he wouldn't be a problem in combat training, but academics, which of course would not be Byleth's strong suit as a professor? Not so much. He'd probably have to bribe the guy with food, based on what Claude was telling him. There was Ignatz, who was seeking to become a knight to please his parents, but Claude suspected he had other dreams.

Then came the girls. "We got Leonie, she wants to become a great mercenary. A bit of a miser though," Claude mused, and Byleth paused thoughtfully. He could swear he had heard that name before... probably a different Leonie if he was being honest. "Oh, and then there's Lysithea... she's got a bit of a complex. She was the last of the students here to come of age, and she's a bit sensitive about it. As such, she gets angry if you treat her like a child. Me? I do it on purpose. One has to make their own fun around here, right?"

"Don't overdo it to the point of bullying, and I won't have a problem with it," Byleth told him.

"Fair, fair... Oh, then there's Hilda, she's the daughter of Duke Goneril, and the sister of Lord Holst, the guy who practically single handedly defends Fodlan's Northern Border. She's been coddled all of her life. Seriously, if you look up "lazy" in the dictionary... Her portrait actually won't be there, because she never got around to submitting it." Byleth almost let himself smirk at that creative way of putting it. Claude was actually a pretty funny guy, Byleth just never laughed at anything. Even if he was amused, he didn't really show it.

"Then there's Marriane, Margrave Edmund's daughter," Claude added, before awkwardly rubbing the back of his head. "... unfortunately, that's all I know about her. She doesn't really interact much with the other students. I'm willing to bet half of us have never even heard her speak." Another Bernadetta then, it seemed.

Byleth nodded, before turning to go, giving Claude a nod of thanks. That just left Dimitri before he tried interacting with some of the students to make his decision. On his way over to the prince, he noticed Dimitri's attention was elsewhere as he face palmed. Byleth followed where he was looking to see a red headed young man following that mercenary girl, Shez, he believed her name was.

"Ah, come on, gorgeous, I just want to have a cup of tea with you!" he was saying.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested in the moment!" Shez was saying, trying to maintain a civil tone, but the beginnings of irritation evident.

Byleth internally sighed. He hoped that that wouldn't become a problem later. Regardless, he turned to where Dimitri was, and finished closing the distance.
