Certainly - as long as we do not shout and startle them.
... Will you tell me about your home, more? I liked hearing about it before.
Of course.
[her expression gentles; that's an easy enough topic. she loves her homeland.]
...is there anything in particular you would like to hear about?
[her expression gentles; that's an easy enough topic. she loves her homeland.]
...is there anything in particular you would like to hear about?
Yeah. Do you have any big festivals or celebrations you do that you like?
Hmm, well...
[she hums, thinking about it, and then nods.]
My birthday falls on the same day as Saint Cethleann Day — there are festivals throughout Fódlan, and it is much livelier at the monastery then. There are usually activities of some kind in town...
Ah, and then a few weeks after that is the Goddess' Rite of Rebirth. People come from all over Fódlan to celebrate when the Blue Sea Star reappears in the sky.

The Blue Sea Star? [ she tilts her head. ] What's the Rite of Rebirth? Is it just like hoping she comes back?
It appears in the sky during the Blue Sea Moon, and disappears during the Ethereal Moon. It is believed that it is the home of the Goddess, and that it was from there that Saint Seiros descended...
[flayn realizes, as she's explaining, that there is a lot of knowledge she just sort of takes for granted that other people will know. even more than a month away from fódlan, old habits are hard to break.
her voice trails off.]
...ah, I have not really explained about the Goddess, Seiros, and the Four Saints, have I?

Not really. I think Dimitri kind of talked about them once, but I don't know much else about them.
[ she sort of laughs. ] You can tell me about it if you want. I like hearing about other people's worlds.
[ she sort of laughs. ] You can tell me about it if you want. I like hearing about other people's worlds.
Did he? What did he tell you of them?
Not a lot, just some stuff here and there about his own personal beliefs.
I see. Well... I hope what I have to say is not anything you have already heard - I would hate to bore you.
[but, hmmm, where to start, where to start...]
As the legends tell it, the goddess Sothis watches over the land of Fódlan. There came a time when the world had great need of someone to do her will - and so Saint Seiros appeared in the land of Enbarr and began to work miracles. The land was stricken by war, and following a revelation from the Goddess, the people who would become the Four Saints - Saint Indech, Saint Macuil, Saint Cichol, and his daughter Saint Cethleann - joined forces with Saint Seiros to restore peace to the people.

[gooood morning beau!
is what flayn would say if not for the fact that as soon as she locks eyes with her and raises a hand in greeting, a memory overtakes them both. oops!]

[ beau just goes ahead and spills coffee on herself when she gets hit by the memory. when she comes out of it, she squints down at the spill, and then slowly brings her coffee up to sip from anyway.
to flayn: ] ... I didn't know you had a brother.
to flayn: ] ... I didn't know you had a brother.
[flayn, however, is unfortunately distracted by the spill. she looks at it with concern, and in the same moment that beau speaks, she gasps:]
—oh, no - did it burn you?
[...and then she realizes she was talking at the same time as her.]
Ah... I am sorry, what was that?
—oh, no - did it burn you?
[...and then she realizes she was talking at the same time as her.]
Ah... I am sorry, what was that?
[ she shakes her hand off. it looks fine! ]
Nah. I'm fine. Just a little hot. [ a beat. ] I said you have a brother, apparently.
Nah. I'm fine. Just a little hot. [ a beat. ] I said you have a brother, apparently.
[if she says so... flayn looks a little dubious, but if beau's not hurt, then... it's fine, right?]
...ah. Yes. He is a... bit of a worrywart, as you saw.
...ah. Yes. He is a... bit of a worrywart, as you saw.
Yeah, a bit. Good on you for telling him to get his nose out of your business.
I know he only does it out of concern, but really! It is quite frustrating... and quite embarrassing, as well.
[flayn is scouring the camp for beau.
it doesn't matter how long it takes her to find her - she'll keep looking, even in the weather they're having. (luckily, someone seems to have intervened; by the time she does track beau down, she's been bundled up in yin yu's outer robe, which is way too big for her. it matches the scarf she was wearing at trial quite nicely.)
when she finally does find her - she hesitates, but only because she isn't sure how into the idea of company beau is right now.]
...Beau?

...Beau?
[ she's out in front of the isolation cabin, because of course she is. and while she's not... against company, she's maybe not the best company herself, wrapped in a blanket and sitting outside.
she glances at flayn, and can't even really muster a smile. ]
Hey, Flayn.

Hey, Flayn.
...
[she sits down next to her, anyway. she doesn't know what to say. asking are you okay? seems stupid, because clearly, she is not.]
...you may catch a cold out here, you know.
[she sits down next to her, anyway. she doesn't know what to say. asking are you okay? seems stupid, because clearly, she is not.]
...you may catch a cold out here, you know.
I really don't care what happens to me right now.
[ she says, honestly. a beat. she offers flayn some blanket. ]
[ she says, honestly. a beat. she offers flayn some blanket. ]
Beau...
[that hurts to hear. flayn's expression falls, but she scoots closer to join her under the blanket.]
...there are people who care what happens to you, even if you do not at the moment.

I know. [ she tucks the blanket in nicely. ] Phoenix gave me a hard time over it earlier.
...he is very reliable that way.
[she sighs lightly and leans against beau for warmth. it's cold out here, shut up.]
