Edelgard, unlike Byleth, is simply down in the market to pick up a few things. Mostly presents for Hubert, little alchemical gifts, a clockwork toy or two for Leslie, and a few bones and treats for her dog...and so she's strolling along merry with a basket under her arm, looking surprisingly normal. Heavy trousers, a starched white shirt and gloves that reveal no skin at all, with a red cloak to offset things. She's a good bit paler, and carrying a sword at her hip, something simple.

She pauses at the sight of that hair...but it's the outfit that sells it. She can't help but speak up. She steps into his line of sight, but does not get too close. There's no hostility in her stance or voice, just a kind of curious wariness.]

Byleth Eisner, is that you?

[Not Professor. This isn't the one she's familiar with. The one from her timeline.]
