[Dimitri's terrible acting has Felix resisting the urge to facepalm amidst his rising panic and inability to find an exit strategy--
Then the inevitable comes, and no, he's not prepared to see Dedue quietly observing him after that damn dog gives Dimitri a once-over.]
I was just about to leave, [Felix says, chin in the air as he grips his belongings. Without a second look at Dimitri, he begins to walk across the room and past Dedue, hoping that Dedue won't be inclined to call him out on his unusual presence in this room.]
[As always, Dedue has discretion. He does fix Felix with a steely gaze, though, looking for all the world like a dog with its hackles raised. Felix is clearly important to Dimitri, but their estrangement has caused him a great deal of pain — it's a wound he would hate to see Felix patch up and then rip open again.
Though it's hard for him to actually get angry upon seeing the shy way Felix watches Dimitri scurrying out, and harder still when hearing the fondness in his voice.]
