[ for some reason he feels compelled to reach out with his left hand to grab a hold of flayn just before she leaves. which will, oh so lovingly, trigger a memory for her to enjoy. and despite of the coldness and apathy that giyuu is expressing to the group, there's pang of guilt and lack of self-worth that just barely shows itself under a forced apathy.
it's not a bad memory and it's nothing compared to what he saw with flayn but it does/should give her some insight into what lies underneath his stoicism. ]
[he's able to catch her by the wrist - but before she can protest anything, there's the memories.
...and it's mitsuri! mitsuri!! flayn recognizes her voice, even if giyuu isn't looking in her direction. (that's not the point here, flayn. mitsuri didn't even talk as much as some of the others.)
anyway, when the memory fades out and they find themselves back in camp, flayn is, at least, not struggling to leave, but it's probably because she's processing that.]
so he has her by the arm and now what? what is the next thing that he wants to do? he, well, the first thing he's going to do is release her arm slowly so that she doesn't feel like he's holding her here.
the next thing is to say something so he. will just...say something. ]
he's a demon slayer? naru how the FUCK am i supposed to get her killed if even the demon slayers won't kill her for nonhuman crimes!! --is what i was going to write here but then work got busy and i couldn't tag back until after death announcement CRIES ABOUT GIYUU]

[a beat]
Not that I am one, but I know what it must have looked like...!

[ so, unless flayn is about to confess to eating people—giyuu's will continue to keep his sword by his side. ]
