I can't think of much else that didn't already get said? Oh. Fuck Byleth I suppose. I mean she's alright and we had a talk about it but just so it's clear I did yell at her.
She volunteered you for recruitment. Before you start in on going oh I would have wanted that my name is Caleb Widogast I am a huge bummer and also good at killing and it would have been the role I was born to play or WHATNOT I did specifically say to her that while you would certainly not be angry and might even get a little bit funny in the pants for her about it, I was angry on your behalf, because someone has to be.
[Wow!!!!! He sort of frowns at this text for a long time.]
Do you actually think I would get 'funny in the pants' about being asked to join the murder group.
[No, this is a very accurate read on him.]
You are right that I am not angry at her for it, though. I did not know about the recruitment at the time, but we had a conversation where I had told her I wanted to find a way to help them. It would not have exactly come out of nowhere.
Don't get me fucking wrong I am ALSO angry on your behalf because you won't be We're not going to sit here and think you having to be an organized killer would be okay in any way at all ever so don't even try
Anyway I was going to kill Byleth but she had a protection item so I couldn't We can talk about this in person if you want
Anyway, the answer is yes and we're all aware of it. You are not so subtle, Mr. Widogast.
My point remains. I love and care for you both greatly, and my feelings on the matter are that I'd do anything in my power to avoid having you go through with acts that would weigh heavily on you no matter how much you might object to the fact that you can carry them. That is the point of having friends. Idiots.
[god okay fine i guess walking outside to the glampground. Caleb still has his coat so he's just in his Valentine's edition linen shirt, with the little pink and red embroidered hearts. Flopping himself down next to him, grinning at him.]
Just so I get the last word in, I'm extremely normal. Especially compared to you two.
[she comes wandering in like five minutes later, and tosses like... whatever she has in her pocket, like an old piece of candy or something at caleb before settling down as well.]
You're always rude. [she says, stretching out.] Anyway. It was a whole thing. Yamato came to me and told me there were four of them that were part of the Honor Society. Kon, Alphinaud, Yamato and Rita.
This was after Byleth admitted to killing Crow, and they were afraid she was going to have to do it again, so Yamato told me they planned on killing her.
[there's a stupid little snort at the whisper, like, inappropriately probably, considering.
a pause.]
... But - yeah. Kon was still fucked up, Yamato had one eye. Alphinaud and Rita are spellcasters, and I've seen what Byleth can do. She would've killed them, or at least injured them enough to get caught.
I couldn't let them do it, so I made them take me with her, but we got blocked.
[He just assumes this whisper and snort is at his expense. WHATEVER. He's more concentrated on this anyway.]
... Worse if it had been Rita, yeah.
[He sighs out. It's a good reason! It's a good reason. It's long past too, so there's little point in relitigating it, but still. It makes him a bit nervous to think about.]
Oh my gods. I'm not shitting on spellcasters, dude, I'm saying Byleth has a fucking long range sword and Rita is built like a stick. Have you seen Byleth fight? It's not pretty!

You are not the normal one. None of us are normal ones.
Her reasons were not the worst. Yamato and Rita's reasons were terrible, but not hers.

Caleb are you okay
That was a really nice way of saying that
