Bernidetta sighs as Byleth releases her "thank you professor, but this doesn't change my decision I'd already decided to become a real life borrower when I bought the potion, and I'm not going back now" she says with the most confidence Byleth had ever heard from her, which was probably why her reaction was simply to put her hand on Berni's shoulders and gently squeeze it
"If that's your decision I support you, I just wish you'd discussed this with someone who cared about and worried for your safety, like your professor perhaps" she teases, glad it got a smile from the purple haired girl "so, all we need to do is get me back to normal and everything is good, how do I do that?"
Berni taps her fingers together nervously "there isn't, at least that I know of" she admits, getting a blank stare from Byleth "you're really mad at me this time, aren't you?" she asks, in an resigned tone
"Bernidetta, your a smart girl, did you not think that in the miniscule possibility this wasn't what you wanted, that you would need an antidote? Ahhhh!"
Dorethea, jumps when she hears a high pitched shriek, though nothing around seemed to be the source 'very strange' the theatre girl thinks, adding it to the list of things that had happened since the new professor arrived
"I'm sorry professor, this wasn't meant to happen, nobody was meant to even notice and I could finally live in peace and not get in anyone's way" Bernidetta explains before bursting into tears, worried Byleth was going to do something awful to her.
Byleth sighs deeply, pinching her nose almost painfully, it was moments like this she remebered that Bernidetta was almost too sad to stay mad at and this was at least partly her own fault for drinking the potion herself without worrying about a way back. "It's ok Bernidetta, everything will be fine, we need to get help, so I can go back to normal, then I expect you to check in with me at least twice a week so I know you're okay" she explains, to which the archer reluctantly nods her agreement to.
What now?
1) In order to get any help they're going to need to get Doretheas attention, something easier said than done.
2) When the 2 step out of the bag, Dorethea is gone, meaning they need to try the next nearest Eagle for help, that being Edelgard
3) Just as the 2 start to plan Benri is grabbed and pulled out of the bag and out from under the bed, seems Dorethea decided to investigate the noise, and found a tiny human in her room
