"I bet I could pick you up." Byleth's weak voice contradicts the statement, but knowing him? He absolutely could. He could lift Dimitri after all.
He breathes out a heavy sigh, relaxing in the hold a bit better now. There are still a million different thoughts swirling, but this gives him something to focus on.
"I'll take care of you. When I'm well again." He knows the man will likely protest of deflect so he continues. "I like taking care of people. When all my students left... it was so quiet. I got used to it without realizing it. People needing me."
He's not the Byleth Angeal knew. Not the man he shared intimacy with. But he can try again. He can try to be someone new, but still worthwhile.
"It would be all right if you needed me, every now and then."
