[she smiles down at her tea, her expression fond.]
I certainly hope so.
[if she can make more moments like this - many more moments like this - with yin yu, then that would make her happy. she isn't sure when that first became the case, but she can recognize, now, that it is.
it's been... hard, being here. but yin yu is one of the reasons she's been able to keep smiling, and why her smile isn't constantly failing to meet her eyes. she isn't sure if he knows that, and she's equally unsure how to even begin thanking him for that.]
[ unbeknownst to him, and maybe to flayn too, yin yu's making the same exact face. there's fondness in his eyes too, failing ultimately to hide that small, gentle smile, as he looks down at his cup.
...what a strange place, to find moments of happiness.
yin yu is quiet, content just to bask in it, for a tiny moment of peace in all of the chaos. ]
the sooner her cup runs out, the sooner she'll lose her excuse to stay sitting here with him. so although she'd like another few sips of tea, she keeps her cup on the table.
if they don't finish their drinks, he won't have to leave.
(in retrospect, it will be obvious to her, later, just what she was trying to accomplish here - but right now, she doesn't quite realize it. it's just one of those moments that will mean everything to her when she looks back on it.)]
