No. I shouldn't get too used to it. It'll make me complacent.

[Survival at all costs, that's what Jeralt told him. While Byleth wanted to have friends, he couldn't let it come at the cost of his sharply honed instincts. Look what happened with Shez. While he didn't blame him for the attempted assassination, Arval only had the chance because Byleth had foolishly lowered his guard... had turned his back on him, made himself vulnerable... expected gentleness. And what did it give him?]

And complacency leads only to a knife in one's back.
