unlike the others, he doesn't really try to keep his expression neutral. his eyes widen for a second, and the corner of his mouth twitches like it's fighting the urge to smile-- he really does love surprises, and this sure is a big one.
yet, it's not a happy smile. ]
I am grateful that you trusted us enough to share.
[ mikazuki already did the "you do NOT share this again" speech because they are truly gonna beat your ass
I don't think you would have told me if it wasn't for our present company.
[ he glances between dimitri and mikazuki. ]
So, I still appreciate being told. I cannot say I particularly blame you for anything, since it's not your fault the shadows compelled you. It's just... unfortunate. How the last few days went.
[ he nods ] I probably wouldn't have. But ultimately I trust each of you to keep Dimitri safe. I know you've been together in this longer than I have. ...I'm sorry to be selfish when this was my fault in the first place.
[ he looks a little surprised, but his expression softens ]
Thank you, Tsurumaru. I'm not asking anyone here to cover for me, if it comes down to it. I'll accept whatever comes my way.

sylvain smiles too, and it's not happy, either. ]
I'm not sure I've done anything to earn gratitude, much less trust in return. But I hope you'll at least take this information in good faith.

I believe we will keep your secret, at the very least. But obscuring anything pointing to you... that wouldn't be wise.
[ it's one thing to say they don't know who killed kaeya, it's another to actively sabotage people trying to find out. ]
But you'll work really hard, right?

[ this is his mess, so it's on him to fix it, not make things worse. ]
I will.

[ he really does not know him well enough to give him the kind of lectures that the others are so.
this is enough for now. ]
