Dimitri: Perfect timing, Professor. If you don't mind, I have a favor I'd like to ask of you.
'''Dimitri:''' Perfect timing, Professor. If you don't mind, I have a favor I'd like to ask of you.

Dimitri: It's in regard to sword training. Not for myself, but... Well... To be honest, I've been teaching swordsmanship to the orphans at the monastery for a while now.

}}


Dimitri: I must agree. Frankly, I'm not great with children. Some of them saw me sparring with the knights one day. They started pestering me to teach them. They were so earnest... I couldn't help but oblige. There's much I wish to show them, but due to my own studies and training, I'm afraid my time is rather limited. Which brings me to my favor. Your swordsmanship is unmatched. I hate to ask this of you, but... Would you consider lending me a hand?

Dimitri: Thank you, truly. I am in your debt. And I always repay my debts, I'll have you know. All of these children lost their families and homes to war or illness. This may sound a bit arrogant, but... I feel it's my responsibility to help them. I lost my parents without warning too. In that way, we're the same. In Duscar, I lost my father, stepmother, and closest friends. I didn't have many allies at the castle after that. In truth, I had only Dedue for companionship.

|response1='''Dimitri:''' I'm afraid not. My birth mother fell ill and died shortly after I was born. And my uncle... suffice to say we don't get along.

Dimitri: I'm afraid not. My birth mother fell ill and died shortly after I was born. And my uncle... suffice to say we don't get along. Ah, but there were those outside the castle walls I was close to. Such as Rodrigue!
'''Dimitri:''' I once had people I could confide in. Family, friends, instructors, even the royal soldiers. But they were all taken away from me four years ago. Ah, but there were those outside the castle walls I was close to. Such as Rodrigue!


Byleth:
{{Dialogue Options
* Rodrigue?
|choice1=Rodrigue?
}}


Dimitri: Heh, pardon my rudeness. I meant Lord Rodrigue. He is my father's old companion, and the father of Felix. On the occasions he would visit the capital, he's take me out hunting or on long horse rides. While Dedue us like a brother to me, Rodrigue is more like a second father. It might sound ridiculous, but... he's the kind of man I hope to become one day. Someone who helps others... Someone who can reach out and save a lost soul. Oh... Please accept my apologies for boring you with my life story. In any case, don't forget your promise, Professor. I'm counting on you.

'''Dimitri:''' Thank you for your help the other day, Professor. Please, allow me to express my gratitude by taking you to dinner.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=It was nothing.
|choice2=I would be delighted.
|response1='''Dimitri:''' Nonsense. Your guidance was magnificent. Just what I'd expect from a professor at this esteemed academy.
|response2='''Dimitri:''' Fantastic. Please think about what you'd like to eat. After all, such magnificent guidance must work up
quite an appetite.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' I've studied swordsmanship for some time, but your mercenary skills are something else entirely. Speaking of which, there's...another question I must ask you. Were you reconciled with the reality of battle from your first foray? With...the killing part, I mean.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=I hadn't the luxury of questioning it.
|choice2=No. It's never easy.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' I see.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=And you?
}}
'''Dimitri:''' No... I do not carry that burden well. I doubt that will change, no matter how many years come and go. The first time I led on the battlefield, I was sent to quell a rebellion in the west. It was not a difficult fight. The enemy was not well-trained and their morale was low. A swing of the lance, and your opponent falls. A flash of your blade, and a path opens up. That's the sort of battle it was. Easy...right?
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=You did what you had to do.
|choice2=What caused the rebellion?
|response1='''Dimitri:''' That's one way to look at it.
|response2='''Dimitri:''' The noble family from that area sought to seize the throne after my father's untimely death.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' The leader of the rebel army was defeated and the rebellion quelled. This was at the height of the post-war period. I recall coming across a dead soldier's body. He was clutching a locket. Inside was a lock of golden hair. I don't know to whom it belonged. His wife, his daughter...mother, lover... I'll never know. He was a soldier. An enemy. Someone we had cut down without hesitation. But in that moment, I realized he was also a real person, just like the rest of us. Of course, we cannot stand idly by and allow anyone to commit senseless acts of violence. Yet in dispensing what we call justice, we take the lives of cherished family members. Beloved friends. Killing is part of the job, but even so... There are times when I'm chilled to the bone by the depravity of my own actions.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=It's normal to feel that way.
|choice2=I've felt the same way.
|response1='''Dimitri:''' Is it? Perhaps you're right. I pray that you are.
|response2='''Dimitri:''' That you feel the same way is more comforting than you could know.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' Professor? May I speak freely? When we first met, I thought of you as someone who felt no strong feelings about killing your enemies. I could never trust someone who kills without batting an eye. My heart won't allow it. But after speaking with you and getting to know you better, I can see you're not like that. Now I know, with all my heart, that I can trust you. Thank you for that.

'''Dimitri:''' ...
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=What are you doing?
|choice2=Still training?
|response1='''Dimitri:''' Sleep evades me, so I thought I'd get in some extra training. I was just about to finish.
|response2='''Dimitri:''' Indeed. But I was thinking about ending it here.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' Perhaps it is the gloomy weather, but I am feeling the sting of wounds that should have healed long ago...
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=What wounds?
}}
'''Dimitri:''' The injury I got when that girl stabbed me after the battle at Gronder. Her eyes were filled with revenge...just as mine once were.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=Who was she?
}}
'''Dimitri:''' I don't know... But I have a guess. ... Ah, I suppose I haven't told you about that yet.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=What are you talking about?
}}
'''Dimitri:''' I was attacked inside the monastery the other day. It caused quite the uproar. The ones who attacked me...were some of the youths we taught swordsmanship to, once upon a time.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=Are you OK?
|choice2=Why did they do it?
|response1= Of course. I could capture the lot of them with my eyes closed.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' It seems they were raised by a group of thieves who we put down five years ago. I heard Lady Rhea took custody of them, claiming that the children were innocent. I have taken so many lives...and with each one, I face hatred. During the last five years especially. My life was not so different from that of a wild beast... And that young girl's brother... At some point, I must have... That is why I thought it only natural that someone would retaliate someday. Because I hated, because I stole, and... because I killed. But with those children, it's different... We drew our blades with the best of intentions, only to hurt them in the end. I suppose this is yet another thing we will just have to live with.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=It's part of the job.
|choice2=I feel the same way.
}}
'''Dimitri:''' Yes... As one who chose to fight, it is my responsibility to confront this anguish and the true nature of war... Until the day my life comes to an end.
{{Dialogue Options
|choice1=It is mine as well.
|choice2=We can confront it together.
|response1='''Dimitri:''' Perhaps...
|response2='''Dimitri:''' Thank you...
}}
'''Dimitri:''' You know, Professor... There is something that I only recently realized. I never knew it could be so...comforting to have someone standing by my side...
