[ It earns a soft laugh from Byleth. A thing that comes easy now, but used to be quite unheard of. ]
I have my interests. Your colleagues have spoken of you to some degree, though I prefer to form my opinions based on your own words.
[Lahabrea burned. Themis' words echo in his mind. ]
Very well. Hmm. I suppose I can begin with the unusual circumstances of my birth?
[ From here, Lahabrea gets the abridged version of Byleth's strange life. He only focuses on the odd bits really, or absolutely vital information. How he was born of a homunculus and a human, how he was to be the vessel for a god that instead took a liking to him and gave him her power instead of taking his body as her own. How he ended up as a professor, then fought a war, then ended up as the archbishop of a religion he didn't exactly subscribe to.
He speaks of the Nabateans, of his class, his students, and he loss of his father. It's not a story that sounds even remotely realistic, but Byleth never falters. ]
