Felix looks up again, exasperated but no longer angry. "Oh, please. You're not 'holding me hostage.' My decisions are my own. Given the choice, I would rather be here with you than anywhere else without you. And I don't want you to have to return to your father's house any more than you do. I want you with me."
Which...may, perhaps, give Sylvain an inkling of what Felix has long wished would happen back in Fodlan, since it's the only way those two desires make sense together.
"Maybe it won't be my choice who goes and who stays, but in that case, what either of us wants doesn't matter anyway."
He nods. "You're right. It doesn't. Who knows - I'm not usually one to change my mind, but if someday we do have that choice, perhaps things will have changed by then."
Because in truth, if it weren't for the Augur's constant meddling and taking away their autonomy - if they weren't treated like recalcitrant prisoners and forced to do things they otherwise never would - Felix really wouldn't have any reason to leave.
