Most of us simply call it the Officers Academy for precisely that reason.

[vigilantics]

Did you like it there?

... grandma smooching aside.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, very much! There were so many different types of people around — people came from all three of the countries of Fódlan to learn.

In a way, it was almost like being able to see the entire world without ever having to leave the monastery's walls.

[vigilantics]

That's neat. I go to--

[ we will never find out, because a memory plays. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

["or polygamy" FRANCY I'M CRYING THEY ALREADY KNEW WHAT POLY WAS.

...but, ah. she can see, then - that there really was something between stephanie, and belph, and hikage. (and that fourth person, too - "shirasu"? it's tragic, that they'd all end up here again, only to be separated.

rude.]

...oh.

[vigilantics]

[ THEY ALWAYS KNEW, IT'S WHY STEPH THINKS EVERYONE TRYING TO TEACH HIKAGE IT IS FUNN

but ah... honestly, despite everything, that was a rather fond memory. ]

The sleepover...

[fishingforcompliments]

[if i were nicer i'd give you a chance to fix that typo but i'm not]

...it seems like you had a good time, that night.

[vigilantics]

... yeah.

There was no murder at the castle that week. It got announced on Monday that there wouldn't be one, so that was the only non-crappy Thursday we had.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[flayn just kind of. gapes at her. break week?? they got break week????]

I am glad to hear that you had a week's respite...

[vigilantics]

Yup.

[ ... ]

I mean, the week after was like doubly awful, probably to make up for that.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh...

[BAD.]

That is... unfortunate.

[vigilantics]

Yup.

... but at least it was a nice night.

[fishingforcompliments]

...we shall all have nights like that again, once this is over.

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

Yeah. We definitely will.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she smiles at her, but... it doesn't quite reach her eyes. she's tired. they're all tired.]

I hope it is over soon.

[vigilantics]

[ ... she is not sure about soon, just going by the lengths other games have gone. but. ]

Me too.

[fishingforcompliments]

[in the moment, it feels like a long time - but just two months isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. flayn is trying to remember that, but it's difficult.]

One way or another, we will end this.
