A bit of exploring and overhearing a little something!

Byleth finished his meal, and proceeded to continue exploring the monastery a little bit, taking more time to familiarize himself with every corner. It was a large place after all, getting familiar with the lay of the land was still a bit of a challenge for him.

Indeed, he managed to find himself passing by the greenhouses again, in an entirely new way. "Well, that's another way to get to that particular part of the monastery," he noted with some dry amusement.

"Indeed, though I wonder why you keep wandering so much," Sothis mused, hanging off of Byleth's shoulders from behind, pressing her breasts into his back. She really seemed to like doing that.

'Easy,' he replied in his mind. 'I just want to make sure I have everything mapped out in my head. I don't ever want to find myself getting lost here. I don't need people comparing my sense of direction to Shez's.' Indeed, he had found out that Shez had next to no sense of direction shortly after he started having classes. She was still trying not to be late to them.

Sothis actually laughed at that. "It would take a lot more than getting turned around in a place this big for anyone to ever say you're that bad!" she replied. Byleth was about to turn to go, when he heard... Singing? Sothis noticed it too, and chuckled, "Huh, small world, we were just talking to two songstresses, and now we're hearing someone else try their hand at it."

Byleth turned to the greenhouses, noting that's where it seemed to be coming from, and it sounded pretty good too. "...is that Bernadetta's voice?" he wondered.

"Sounds like it~!" Sothis nodded. "Better leave her to it, she's probably only confident enough to sing when she thinks no one can hear her. Might freak out the poor girl if you show her otherwise..."

Byleth nodded in agreement, and walked off, deciding against actually checking and interrupting.
