Although Linhardt was aware of such circumstances - the primary reason he had involved himself in first the Church's doings and then Edelgard's was due to the impact him not doing so would have on his friends, family, and colleagues - they've never really applied to him. Linhardt's father helped to run the justice system in Adrestia: Nobody is going to imprison him. He'd grown up in castles and fortresses personally protected. He wasn't in much danger during the war outside of the battlefield - Edelgard, the Professor, Hubert, and Ferdinand were the assassination targets, not Linhardt. Hence why he was so blasé.

"I hadn't thought about it, no." It was yet another overly honest answer, "I would likely attempt to flee or hide. If I were found, there are ways to stop someone from attacking you that don't require harming them or engaging in a fight."

"I would defend myself if someone attacked me to the point I was in true danger after I made clear I was not hostile. Or if attempts were made to harm those who could not fight." If Castle Thorne were attacked, Linhardt would act to protect civilians and escort them away, but he would not act in aggression.

"There is no need to worry about me. I have a small amount of innate healing magic: So long as I do not die I will eventually be fine. I simply may need to sleep for a long time." Linhardt smiled and then yawned again. Mmm. Naps. It was almost time for one, "And if I do die I will not be alive to care."
