A. Fuck the postal service, there's nobody more reliable than Dedue fucking Molinaro when he sets out to deliver (Olivine City)
When Dedue arrives in this strange new world, he has one main priority:
Find His Highness.
He had only recently been reunited with his lord after the battle at the Great Bridge of Myrddin, and now he has, once again, been pulled away. This time, at least, he isn't in a prison cell awaiting execution-- an exceptionally low bar to pass, but sometimes one has to take what small victories one can get. He has his freedom, a small amount of supplies, a strange device, and an even stranger companion. He has operated in far worse conditions than these.
After some time spent learning the intricacies of this device and its 'network', Dedue can begin his reconnoitering in earnest. He labored for five years tracking Dimitri's path of destruction throughout the continent without the benefit of a device like this; surely he wouldn't require so much time to find the man now. He is rewarded for his search with a series of posts that Dimitri has either made or responded to, providing him with a timeline for his movements in this world. Eventually, he gathers enough information to have the name of a city-- the last place that Dimitri was seen in.
It's simple enough to find that city on his map and plot the fastest path from his current location to that one. It will take time, of course, to walk all the way there, but Dedue has been a foot soldier for many years now. If he can trek for miles in heavy armor, he can certainly do it in civilian clothes with fair weather.
When Dedue sets out, he does not intend to stop for any reason other than to catch a few hours of necessary sleep. He walks through most of the night, he eats his meals as he goes. He continues, unerring and implacable, on his path like a one-man invasion force regardless of wind or rain or dark of night. There is a brief time, when he's on the road just outside of Violet City, that he considers whether he should have sent a message to His Highness to inform him of his arrival, but-- if he did so, he knows that Dimitri would leave to try to meet him along the way. Rather than inconvenience him in such a fashion, it is simpler for the vassal to go to the lord.
So, many days later, he stands before the front door of a house near Olivine City. He raises a hand and knocks on it-- two sharp raps. When it's answered, he says,
"My apologies. I seem to have arrived late again."
B. Shoulder Turtle (Multiple Locations)
During Dedue's long march across Johto to reunite with His Highness, it is, on occasion, necessary for him to stop for a while in towns, in order to either resupply his provisions or to work for a while to have the necessary money for said provisions. Thankfully, there's never a shortage of work for a man as large and strong as Dedue, so he is able to make back his funds through running deliveries and unloading freight. The work is, perhaps, laborious, but no more so than any other work that he's had to do in the last five years, and he takes to it readily.
You may, then, find your delivery order being brought to you by a very polite 6'8 brick shithouse. Or you may find him in the markets, picking out groceries for the road with a Turtwig balanced on one of his massive shoulders like a very strange cat. He occasionally consults with the aforementioned shoulder turtle, as one might when planning out what to cook for dinner with a friend.
He does, after all, plan on making meals for his companion; it's only courteous to make sure that the food will be to both of their liking.
