I'm not uncomfortable. [Felix recovers from his bumbling, feeling just the slightest bit guilty over his outburst.] I'm just terrible at accepting compliments. [Ingrid has told him as much. Dedue has told him as much. And, yes, he cares about his roommates and Ashe but having Ashe acknowledge it to his face - put it out there in the open - is even harder for him to accept.] ... sorry.

[Just to prove how not uncomfortable he is with the topic, he continues kind of where they left off:] Anyway, if I'm the swordsman does that make you the protagonist's little sister? Fawning over them?

[As Felix is watching Ashe's face for a reaction, something peeking out from under Ashe's sleeve catches his eye.]
