[Byleth felt a twinge of embarrassment at being reminded of the straw goat.
Yes, that hadn't been their greatest showing - in fact, he doubted their teamwork had been that abysmal back when they'd first become allies and some tension remained on both sides! If this had been back in Fodlan on the battlefield... he really didn't want to think of the consequences of that.
