[ His features soften with her reassurance, smile that little bit wider. It's been a long time since he had to confront her (and Hubert) about whether or not he was worthy of trust, but even now, it still means a lot to actually hear it.
Incidentally, her question takes him back to that exact day, and he lets out an amused scoff in response. ]
Yeah, how could I forget? It was the closest call we've ever had! We really could've lost you that day...
[ Successful rescue aside, that day had been a personal victory to Shez in many ways: he proved himself over Shamir as the superior mercenary, recruited the enemy into his own merc unit and managed to clear up his standing... with Edelgard, at least. Hubert was an entirely different case. ]
Six months since then, and Hubert still doesn't really trust me. [ He doesn't sound upset, though; it's more a statement of fact. ] At this point, I don't think he ever will.
