[ Linhardt might want to hold off on that ‘sensible’ observation for a bit, that might still be stretching things. ]
A stance we’ve all tried to take here. Although the fact that we all seem to remember things differently makes Fodlan’s problems more confusing than anything.
[ It helps, that those who had been Summoned were among those who hadn’t wanted the war in the first place - and Sylvain was no exception to that list. He’d fought, because their Kingdom had been invaded and he had lands and friends to defend. But he’d been among the voices pleading with Dimitri to reach out to the Alliance as allies, to try and temper their Prince’s blinding rage after they’d found him alive. For all the good it had done him. He’d still ended up standing on the edges of Gronder Field once more, dreading the battle to come.

[ Except Felix, really, who spent much time bemoaning Sylvain’s lack of attention in keeping his other lance skills honed.
He lets his head fall back with a laugh, however, at the melting comment. ] Finally, a hint of sympathy. I assure you, I melt a great deal, much to Claude and Hilda’s continuing amusement. Why anyone would choose to live in such a place is beyond me. [ But the fact that Linhardt’s been Summoned by Thorne…]
I’ve heard that the Professor and Edelgard had been Summoned by Thorne, for a time. That was before my arrival. When I got here, Claude was the only familiar face to be found, although Petra had been Summoned at the same time as I. We’ve wondered at it, a time or two. Why we’ve ended up where we have - if there was intent behind it or mere coincidence.
That’s what he’s working on, run while you can
