[ Byleth just listens to him vent. He's clearly stressed out and honestly he can't blame him in the least. He nods sympathetically, and follows to sit down with him on the couch. ]

I apologize Corrin, for doing anything to upset you. I realize you have had a very hard time here so far, and I do not mean to add to it. These kinds of places seem to rarely have our actual best interests in mind.

[ If Erku was anything to go off of. He pauses, before turning to Corrin and opening his arms. The man seemed to like physical comfort before, so it only makes sense that he would seek it now, right?

I make no excuses for my behavior. I simply could not allow him to go on without some repercussions to his actions. What he did to you was unacceptable. I do not want him doing it again, or to someone else for that matter. He must understand that there are people who will protect you here. That is all. I understand I should not take action on others behalf without their wishes though.
