[True to his word, Ashe does arrive in a few hours holding a tray of cookies but also lemon squares. Because really he just can't help himself.

Lightly, he knocks on the door.]


Professor? Is now a good time?

[YOU GOT SOME INSIGHT YET?]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[The Byleth of Yharnam did not have such a cozy home. It was a fine house as any, but the inside was dusty and unloved, so focused was he on the hunt and those involved.

This, however... this is a home that feels like one. Life, color, and many footsteps have been here. Many people.

It's nice, Ashe thinks as he places the cookies onto the nearest table.]

[It is a little strange how this Byleth just seems to know all the things he enjoys to eat. Life truly was different for him, wasn't it? It's a bit hard to not be envious of this other Ashe, but that's okay. There is no changing what was.]

Mm, I can talk about it. I'm more concerned about you, truthfully.

Are you ready?

Don't ask for the impossible.

[For a moment, Ashe is quiet as he gathers his thoughts, hands folded together. He closes his eyes, thinking of what he can remember. Much of it is muddled before he arrived to Yharnam, and after that final battle.]

There isn't a good, detailed explanation for what a hunter is. You hunt beasts, that's all I was told. I didn't have much context for what that meant until I understood: Yharnam was afflicted with a plague, one that would transform people. The more you fall to bloodlust and lose control, then all the more likely you become one.

You were a hunter where I'm from, and one that did his best to mentor me. You worked with many others, and so many of them fell that night. Including Dimitri.

I told you once that you were always someone who chose love. And that's still true. You and Dedue both dedicated yourselves to him. Dedue let beasthood claim him so that he might protect Dimitri. You remained enough of a man to try to protect Dimitri, too.

...Unfortunately, that also meant you decided I was a threat. I tried every which way to talk you out of it, but each time I couldn't do anything. I died many times, trying to convince you, but... you were too far gone, and Dimitri was no longer a man either.

So I did what a hunter does.

It... it could have been worse. Despite how it sounds... I realize it could be that much worse, if I didn't have a single person to rely upon. I wasn't entirely alone for all of it, at least.

Even if my allies were few, they are precious to me. I'm lucky that the Doll is here.

[The invitation for an embrace sincerely surprises him. This certainly is a very different Byleth, and physical comfort is such a rarity. He remembers having asked the Doll once for that comfort during an especially difficult part of the hunt.

There's a slow nod.]
Yes, if that's okay.

I'm glad you've met her. She's important to me too, and I wouldn't have lived without her.

[Oh. The last time he'd been held, it'd been because he asked the Doll to do that for him, and... it's honestly nice that Byleth did it himself. Ashe closest his eyes and leans a bit against him.]

...I'm not that Ashe, you know. But I also realize that there are plenty of similarities despite how different our worlds are. Still, I'd be happy to call you my friend, Professor.

[His rest. It's a lovely idea. To truly sleep, to truly dream, to open his eyes and find a new dawn.]
