[she's invading snail cabin bc everyone ditches asch, apparently. i have no idea which bunk she's taking. for the sake of ease, we're going to say she's on a bottom bunk.
she follows his gesture to her bed and sits down.]
Thank you. It has been cleaned out, but it... it is a little awkward.
...in most ways. in some, it's been an unexpected blessing - it's given her the opportunity to meet so many people she never would have had the chance to meet, to see people again she thought she would have no choice but to say goodbye to.
but she would have preferred to see them again without all the murder.]
We could avoid it, if we never looked inside, but... what if the one cabin we do not search is the one that holds the information we need to end this?
[she nods her agreement, which in retrospect, is probably a bad idea given that he's helping her with a facial wound.]
I agree. I think... especially because it's dangerous, we must do what we can to understand everything about this place. They say that a higher risk yields a higher reward, after all.
No - please, do not apologize to me. You may have asked, but I am the one who chose to answer. [...] And I do not think it would have made much difference if I had kept silent, either.
I... told the three of them on the same day, and as I recall, that is unwise in and of itself.
[...]
I want you to know the things you need to know. That is why I shared what I did with you. If there will be some sort of punishment for that... [she's thinking of giyuu and his arm.] ...it is my choice to face it.
But it was our thirst for answers that would have put you in a position to share in the first place. We could have waited a week. We didn't need answers right then.
[he doesn't want her to absolve him that easily]
If something happens to you, we're just as at fault.
and then, swerving, because she does not seem to know how to respond:]
Ah... it is getting late, Akira. I - I think it best if you find somewhere safe to spend the night. [...she brings up her hands to indicate her face, which i assume he's been. dealing with. while they talked.] Thank you.

no subject
. . . can I ask what happened?
[how did she get such a gnarly face wound]
no subject
[she doesn't seem to know how to start.]
It drew on our memories. These were from the end - there was a battle.
no subject
And you had to fight someone you knew. . .?
no subject
[she bites her lip.}
I know... many of the same people that he does, however.
no subject
[he says that distastefully as he treats Flayn's injury, his brows furrowing]
As if just being in this place doesn't hurt enough.
[they have to add insult to injury on top of it]

no subject
Yeah.
[a sharp exhale, his own eyes slipping shut, hands stilling for the briefest of moments]
We can't hold back just because it's dangerous. No matter how afraid we might be.
no subject
I agree. I think... especially because it's dangerous, we must do what we can to understand everything about this place. They say that a higher risk yields a higher reward, after all.
no subject
[though. . . that said?]
. . . I heard from Lili that you shared your power with her, Ookurikara and Ash on Monday, before Sanji and I approached you.
[u m]
no subject
[she nods]
That is true. It was why I was... attempting to be a little cautious.
no subject
[HE IMMEDIATELY BOWS HIS HEAD, posture contrite]
Flayn, I'm so, so sorry. Sanji and I had no idea. It was reckless of us, to approach you like we did.
no subject
No - please, do not apologize to me. You may have asked, but I am the one who chose to answer. [...] And I do not think it would have made much difference if I had kept silent, either.

[her voice is firm]
I knew exactly what I was doing. If I had wanted to, I could have kept silent. I know you would have allowed me to wait.
no subject
But--
[. . . he can argue all day and her answer would stay the same. wouldn't it?]
At the very least, if something happens to you, will you let us help you through it?
no subject
[she nods]
Whatever might happen, I will accept your support. ...thank you, Akira.
no subject
Anytime, Flayn.
[it's something]
no subject
...I meant it, you know. When I said that everyone here was lucky to have you.
no subject
I don't-- [. . . hffffff]
I think they're lucky to have you, honestly.
no subject

no subject
-- oh. . . right.
[they are both awkward at taking compliments]
Take care tonight, okay, Flayn?
no subject
[she looks up at him]
But you do the same, please.

[HE'LL CHECK ON HER AGAIN TOMORROW]
