[After the rollercoaster of mimicry she took him through, that confession of a kind has him gaping at Edelgard once more. It takes him a moment to realize she's being (much more) serious this time around.
Felix isn't dumb not to know what that implies. And surprisingly... he does. Think of her as such as well. Somehow, in this world split from the trivialities of their day-to-day living, he finds that he could consider Edelgard a friend. Surprising as it might sound, he's... never really held a grudge towards her for being responsible for Dimitri's death in some manner. It's a consequence of war, the fault of not being strong enough and being there when it mattered most.
At that thought, Felix swallows, lowering his head as he stifles that dangerous surge of emotion.]
Yeah. I'll see you around then.
[Still, he appreciates her not spelling it out. It may be for her as much as it's for him, but with such thoughts leaving him too far vulnerable... he'd rather not sit on a strong affirmation. And with a nod, leaves his cup and saucer and takes his leave.]
