...and of course, in helping me find those answers, you'll be able to study my Divine Pulse to satisfy your own questions.
[What Byleth lacked in social intelligence, he made up in perceptiveness - but he wasn't affronted at Bondrewd's motivations. On the contrary he seemed mildly interested. The Divine Pulse was an enigma to him, even after Sothis had once sat him down and buried him under advanced, technical language he lacked the context to grasp - but it was more than that too: the Divine Pulse was tied to Sothis, who was in turn tied to Byleth... and his equally enigmatic body.
In Fódlan, there were no hope for answers. His only source was Rhea, and he had resolved to never be within a mile of her if he could help it. Jeralt had told him all he knew, and while Sothis knew the technical mechanisms of Divine Pulse, she was unaware of how Byleth functioned as a suitable vessel for her. She hadn't been 'alive' for that part.
Byleth had made his peace with it; he'll never know what Rhea did to his body as a baby, and he'll never know what he truly was. Yet Kenos had introduced him to new sciences he thought impossible or fantastical, and a few Shard-bearers showed a keen, scientific mind that could communicate their information far more coherently than Sothis, who struggled to dumb things down for the far more science-illiterate Byleth. Sothis, additionally, functioned from the position of an enlightened immortal - her grasp on 'science' was vastly different and incomprehensible to a mortal's version of it.]
...if my assumption is correct, then we may be able to make an arrangement of sorts. There're answers I want... not about the Divine Pulse, specifically, but about my body.
