[He'll ignore the comment about Elidibus's word being enough. While, yes, he would be able to tell if his colleague were telling him falsehoods, there are ways around such assurances. He wants to be certain. Mayhap some part of him is holding out for a revelation that would make it impossible for him to argue against the startling truth. But that is for him to mull over.]
It certainly seems "interesting". Though beyond that, not the sort of place I would consider for an extended holiday.
As to what my inquiries are for, I simply wanted to speak to those with first-hand experiences within the Simulation. Cross-referencing, if you will. Much of what I have heard has sounded - to put it plainly - unbelievable regardless of the information's source.
I imply think that you have nothing to lose by getting to know him a little more. He clearly already knows a lot about you, and always seemed to highly respect you. May as well even the playing field by getting to know him in turn.
[And yet that's the part that even now makes the least amount of sense to him. That this other "him" would be so honest about himself and what he - they - had gone through. Really, now, even if he did share so much, there's little reason for someone not of their brethren to come to respect him so much.]
[Hm. "Even the playing field", eh?]
Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say "nothing" could be lost. But, in the grand scheme of things, I admit the risk is negligible at best.
[Which might sound callous, but in reality, Emet-Selch is simply working out how bad of a thing getting to know this fellow better could actually be.]

I am not one to trust what I hear blindly.

So, do you believe Byleth now, with two different sources telling you things that seem to line up?

If what he witnessed in that pond wasn't a deception at all, then I suppose I'm left with little choice but to suspend my disbelief.

Although, if I'm allowed to be a little bold here and make a request?

Nothing to lose by doing so, right?

gamesim, he doesn't know what to tell you, buddy][But for now...]
Well, that's one way to phrase it I guess. Regardless, that's all I wanted to say, along with vouching for Byleth's character.
Relax a bit, and you might even find some fun in getting to know him.
