[do people believe him? or worse - what if they don't, and they decide to seek their revenge on him and magnus? flayn really does not want to see that happen. at all.]
I guess just, uh, concentrate on tomorrow too, yeah? I’m good at thinking on my feet, so I can probably come up with something, but don’t worry too much about me. Kinda worried people might come after Magnus. Dunno, we’re kind of devolving into revenge promises all over the place. It isn’t helping anything.
...we are meant to be cooperating with each other, I think - that may be our way out. But, we...
[Murder sure makes that hard!]
...I mean, even I... even though I know we need to cooperate, some part of me wishes to see Yamatonokami Yasusada pay for what happened to Yin Yu, and for what he tried to do to Magnus. But that feeling will not help save him, or anyone...
Yasusada played a stupid game, and won a stupid prize. I think he’s gonna pay enough.
[He sighs out there, twisting his mouth to the side, because:]
Geez. I don’t really know either. I don’t even know if people believe me. Certainly Yasusada tried to fuckin’ discredit me on the way out, but fuck him. I don’t care what he thinks.
Well, maybe he should have thought of that before going out revenge killing armed with nothing but an insane suspicion.
[Sighing out . . . he’s not. Not understanding of this situation. He isn’t claiming he’d be different. Just that in this particular battle, he won. At least for now?]
[It sounds depressing when she says it, because what she's not saying, but which somewhat obviously hangs in the air between them, is I am afraid our best shall not be enough.]
[Sighing out, though he seems less depressed. He’s seen what not enough looks like. It’s harder to be so scared the second time around.]
I— wanted to say thanks. For trying to step in. I know people around here don’t think you can stand up for yourself, but you can. Don’t let them condescend to you.

Entertaining, right?

What are you going to do...?

no subject
I . . . don’t know yet. Prepare myself, mostly. I just had to get him through today. And then I’ll work on tomorrow.

[Isn't that why Yasusada had been so mad? Because he'd wanted Sanji's safety?]

I dunno. Guess we’re all just doing our best.
no subject
...our best is all we can do, I suppose.

...I am so tired of seeing people be hurt here.
