The opening of the museum here is enormously exciting, but it also has me thinking about museums at home.

I know there are exhibits about me in at least a few museums - I've never been to see one, because it feels vaguely egotistical to attend an exhibit about yourself? But I've always wondered what sort of things they have to say about me. What parts of my life are worth putting on display for the public.

If there were a museum dedicated to you, what do you suppose would be on exhibit?

It sounds like a wonderful experience. Perhaps the museum could keep a few well-behaved horses for the children to pet.

Are you an author as well?

Ah, no, the poetry is just something I do from time to time for my own enjoyment; my work will be in governance. As the legitimate heir of House Aegir, I am next in line to be Prime Minister of the Adrestian Empire.

[ So it's plausible that he could have at least some kind of exhibit dedicated to him someday!

Though, ah... actually, that will very much depend on what path his future leads him on, won't it? Not to mention the perspective from which his legacy is determined. For all he knows, he may end up being perceived as a villain's accomplice if he sides with Edelgard or as a traitor to his homeland if he turns against her.

There's also a distinct possibility that he could fall in battle a few years from now without accomplishing much of anything he'd hoped for, with the people of his territory worse off in a war-torn future than they are now, so maybe "undoubtedly" isn't the right word.

That is the future I hope to see, in any case.

[tigerpoet]

An admirable goal. I hope that you get to see it as well.

I'm nothing so important as that: a teacher and a writer, that's all.

[aegir]

I would not be so quick to undersell yourself! My teacher at the Officers Academy has been a highly influential and important figure in the lives of all of her students. I am sure you have had a similar impact on at least some of yours.

[tigerpoet]

Oh, are you one of Manuela's students?

[aegir]

Well, Professor Byleth is the leader of my own class. But yes, Professor Manuela is also a teacher at the academy, and one I hold in very high esteem!

[ read: he loves her ]

[tigerpoet]

I'm afraid I don't know Byleth as well - but I'm teaching at Manuela's school here, and it's a pleasure meeting another one of the Officer Academy's students.

[aegir]

Oh! This is a most fortuitous interaction, then. It was my intention to sign up to attend as a student here myself, but I was... unavailable for some time.

[tigerpoet]

We would love to have you once your availability improves.
