And yet he gets the distinct impression that this is going to be a process. Realistically, he knows one cannot simply unremember something they've so recently gained, yet Emet-Selch is who he is, and if he chooses to remain slightly offended by it all, then that's within his right as well.
Still, the comment has Emet-Selch regarding him a little more sharply - in a manner that brings to mind a feline sizing up a mouse. Does he appear annoyed? Not really. Amused, maybe.
"I could," he confirms with an air of unshakeable self-assurance, yet ultimately allows the invitation (and challenge) to remain hanging there between them like unpicked fruit. Little does Byleth know (or perhaps he already does), but there will be plenty of testing taking place. Emet-Selch has never been one to let his own questions remain unanswered. And neither is he one to truly reveal his hand to another without making his own judgments as to their worth and worthiness.
"Prepare away, then. In the meantime I'll try and look forward to our next encounter."
