In Hayame's case, say something over the top and really lay it on thick. Like... [A pause while he thinks of the first thing to pop into his head,] "Hayame, stop making assumptions about me and being a big meanie! I wasn't trying to say that, and you're making me sad!"
Then you'll put her on the back hoof, and she'll be too busy huffing and puffing and being all confused to remember what you were even arguing about. Works like a charm.
Hah! Maybe not those exact words, no. It's better if you talk how you'd normally talk. She's a direct person, so she'll appreciate the kind of sincerity you have, even if it throws her off at first.
[Claude might have ability to laugh things off, but Byleth has his own strengths, too. Hopefully he can come to appreciate that.]
My way of talking tends to insult people more often than not...
[But, he had to admit, it's also worked well with the few 'friends' he's made here in Kenos. They were oddballs in their own right, though, so perhaps they just liked his awkwardly straight-forward way of speaking.
Hayame was really weird, so maybe it would work with her...]
