She has a mildly intriguing response.

'Why don't you just use your intuitive ability you wished for to find out?' Sothis questioned Byleth, looking at him like he was an idiot.

He did not show any signs he had heard her outwardly, but mentally replied, 'I want to see what answer I can get out of her without it, before I try it this time.'

As Sothis pondered his words, before nodding, Manuela was similarly pondering his question. "Oh... You know, most men have never bothered to ask me that question," she remarked. "So I'm not sure how to answer it on the spot..." After a moment to consider, she noted, "Well, first of all, I guess I'd like one who doesn't mind... Well... This," she sighed, gesturing around her room. "Or at least can tolerate it. It's not exactly easy to find time to keep things tidy around here, you know."

"Don't you have some down time?" Byleth asked her, raising an eyebrow.

She snorted. "If I only taught, then maybe, but I also run an infirmary, and maintain my singing skills. Also, my skills in the kitchen are in high demand," she noted. "That doesn't leave much time for a personal life, keeping things tidy would cut further into that..." she whined. "Plus... I'm just not good at it..."

He nodded, listening. "And what else would you like?"

"Well, someone who doesn't look down on me, and lets me do my own thing would be nice as well... Except maybe in the bedroom," she winked. She pouted slightly when this failed to fluster him. "...and someone who could help me tidy up a bit would be nice too..."

"I see," Byleth nodded, before using the intuition ability Sothis had given him on her. It pretty much matched up with what she said. And sexually speaking... She was quite flexible. It would be most accurate to call her a switch, but one who was dominant for anyone who was submissive, and submissive for anyone who was dominant. Only sexually though, otherwise, she was quite firm and opinionated.
