I could abide Hubert nosing around - he is a Vestra. They are like that. Asking him not to gather information would be like asking Caspar not to punch people. What made it intolerable is that he had to offer his opinions about my actions. I also do not appreciate the attempts to change my behavior while withholding from me the reasons for doing so.
[Linhardt has a sense of priorities and understands the necessity of the war. That doesn't mean that he isn't still bothered by a great deal of what happened at Garreg Mach, including Edelgard and Hubert's attempts to 'correct' him while they were planning to start a war. He doubts that was done because they were concerned about his scholastic performance.
Claude is staring. Linhardt tilts his head a few degrees to the right in a wordless question. He had been perfectly serious: Edelgard didn't deal well with challenges to her authority and neither did Thorne.]
That is interesting. Do you mean proof of their physical presence also vanished? Do you think they were removed from the Abraxan timeline completely? Do the natives remember them?
[It is easier to focus on the logistics of their situation than think too much more about Edelgard being here. It is true that she would not have handled it well. It is also true that she would have been frightened and possibly alone. Linhardt cannot shake the image of Edelgard in one of the beds of Thorne, trying to hug something in lieu of the bear the Professor had gotten her. She looks much smaller when she is hurt or sleeping.]
Precisely. We would need to know what causes a new timeline. If any decision causes a new timeline, the odds of any of us being from the exact same timeline are very small. If most things are predetermined and only people like the Professor can alter them, then there would be many fewer Fodlans.
It's even possible several of the Summoned are from the same world but do not know it because the histories are so different - would we know if Fodlan split from another timeline thousands of years ago? The names of everything would be different.
CF Lin has such complicated feelings about Edelgard
