Shit. It has to be really bad, if Byleth is putting down even a small bowl of soup.

"Alright. So, Mithrun used to really like making creme brulee, and, at the previous bakery, I always made sure he was able to get it out of his system a little bit. However, that's some really nice ingredients I don't want Charlie to feel obligated towards, so I've been trying to work him towards things like pie decoration..."

Angeal keeps going on like that. Just little things, what he's done in his daily life, with the people he knows. Changes he's noticed, goals to have when spring comes around. All sorts. Fortunately, he's always had a skill in small talk that can go on for hours - just one of those little 'small town' things that happens when everyone knows everyone and there's not always a need to rush.

And he keeps an eye on Byleth, watching him to see his reactions. To see if this helps ease him into a sleep without worry.
