[Byleth made a short noise when the items tumbled out of his satchel, but before he could kneel down and start picking it up, Shez was already doing it for him. His jerky packet, his pencil... and the duplicated whistle that had been gifted to him.
He'd been puzzled at the time, but hadn't really thought much of it (mostly because he'd been preoccupied with other, more emotionally draining matters), and had accepted the whistle and stowed it in his satchel for safekeeping. He wasn't quite sure what to do with it, as he knew it'd be pointless to carry two around his neck, but it had crossed his mind once or twice to maybe give it to Shez. After all, he didn't have one since Byleth had it, but due to the awkward air between them, he never found the best time to bring it up.
Seemed like Fate had done it for him.]
Yes, I was waiting for the right time to give it to you.
[As he spoke, he reached up to start tugging his original whistle from underneath his tunic, letting it dangle over his fingers from its twine.]

So that we could match.
