Against the advice of a knight, yes.

After classes ended, Byleth started walking towards Manuela's chambers. "You're not actually planning on going into that disaster zone Manuela calls her room, are you?" a knight asked as he passed by, clearly recognizing the direction he was going.

"I need a reference for lesson plans, and she offered her assistance," Byleth shrugged.

"Meh, fair enough. She seems to have that much together at least. Just don't make the mistake of getting into a relationship with her," the knight replied. "She's a messy, messy woman. And quite a lush too."

"I'll take that into consideration," Byleth replied, resuming his walk to Manuela's bedroom, remembering how it had looked when he had helped her to it before. In all honesty, he had seen worse. He'd been running with a rowdy group of mercenaries under his father's command, how could he not?

Then again, at least the mercenaries had the excuse of constantly being on the move. Not as much point to keeping things tidy, other than keeping essentials easily accessible in case of emergency. He knocked on the door, and Manuela answered. "Well, hello handsome!" she smirked, giving him a saucy wink. "You come for a good time?"

"...I just came for assistance with planning some lessons," Byleth replied, not showing he was flustered.

"Boring~!" Sothis and Manuela said at the same time, not that Manuel could tell. Sothis giggled as Manuela let him in.

"Seriously, Master, you going to turn her down?" Sothis asked, floating behind Manuela and cupping her boobs from there. "She's practically begging for it!"

Byleth outwardly ignored her, but was considering it. He wanted to get to know any potential member of the harem Sothis was trying to get him to make, but... Manuela was surprisingly tempting. Not only that, but with a Professor's position in the Academy, she could have useful influence if he sought to use it.
