Edelgard thinks for a moment, her memory stretching back five years to before the war. Just after Jeralt's murder... "Yes, I remember that meeting." She recalls. "I was furious with them both for what they'd done, and I promised there would be a reckoning for the Captain's death. But there was no eavesdropper. Your counterpart did not go looking for us, it seems." But then, Edelgard's Dimitri would have had a much less personal relationship with their professor. Or perhaps his own investigations simply never lead anywhere because his assignments kept him away from the activities of the Flame Emperor. "Thales." She says suddenly. "The man you did not recognize. His name is Thales. Has Byleth spoken to you of him?" If he's still active in Dimitri's world, that is a loose end that will need to be clipped very quickly if Dimitri is going to have any chance to make something of the peace he has won for his Fódlan.
And it ties into matters that Dimitri now asks about. "I do not know if my memory loss was a happy accident or if it was always intended." She replies honestly. "But the end result is the same either way, so yes, you are correct." She collects her thoughts for a moment.
"Did you ever learn why I chose "the Flame Emperor" for my alter-ego's sobriquet specifically?" She asks finally.
