[Dimitri listens in silence, dumbfounded. Even if she's not the same Byleth he knows, the fact that she's this adamant about them speaks volumes. Also this talk about their weaponry. It's that in particular that really gets Dimitri's attention.]

They...they created the Valley of Torment? And they've destroyed both Arianrhod and Fort Merceus?

[Those especially hit home because Dimitri himself fought to take both places.

He takes another sip of tea, his gaze cast down at the table, and speaks with a reluctant tone.]

Then perhaps...perhaps I was underestimating them.

[He then lifts his gaze toward Byleth again, and this time his eye is filled with determination.]

Do you know where I can find them? I will lead an assault on their base of operations myself when I have the chance to return home.
