[ ... yeah, captain tactful, how is that working out for you? ah well, it's Shez's own fault for bringing it up, so: ]
Hey, don't worry about it-- water under the bridge, okay? That's how it goes between mercenaries.
[ besides, Shez also tried to kill Byleth while they were on the same side, though in his defense, he wasn't really himself, either. ugh. why must everything be so complicated between them... ]
Anyway, I'm sure Jeralt knows better than anyone that you can expertly handle yourself with a sword, yeah, but that's not really what he worries about. He just wants to know you have some friends, make sure you're not, you know, lonely and all.
[ there's a distinct 'when Jeralt is gone' bit that Shez has made the elective decision to omit because, well, he doesn't want to sound any unnecessary alarms. ]

[ and lonely when he's not... maybe. that's implied, maybe. ]
I'm not sure I have other friends.
