[ Byleth is a General, then? A High General, even, for whatever that's worth. Thancred can't say it's that much of a surprise, based on how she carries herself. Anyone with a military background tends to have a certain bearing about them, from the likes of the Flame General to even Garlean officers. Where Byleth falls on that spectrum Thancred could not yet guess. ]

No, it appears there isn't much we can do. I have heard word of other Summoned vanishing, but whether it's to return to their homes is less clear. [ That would, of course, be the best option, but there are other possibilities. Much less pleasant ones. After taking a moment to grimly muse over that, Thancred glances back over to Byleth. ]

Might I ask her name? This Emperor of yours. [ While he may not know what to make of them and their allegiances yet, it would be good to at least know who he should keep an eye on moving forward. ]
