[ well - yeah, that's the answer she expected, actually.
she keeps coming up the path, and when she gets to flayn, she reaches for her hand and tugs her close. hug please. she'll get it if flayn pushes away, but. ]
[ beau brings her arms up and around flayn, tucking flayn's head under her chin. ]
We're gonna keep going. [ she murmurs. ] We'll make it. They'll make it.
[ she pets at flayn's hair gently. ] You let us be the bad guys, okay? We can take it. And if everybody is angry at us in the end for doing whatever we had to do, we'll all face it together.
[she doesn't look like she agrees with that, but she can appreciate that beau is trying, so she just hugs her tighter. she doesn't want to fight about this.
she just doesn't know how to stop feeling what she's feeling.]
[ it's okay, beau doesn't either - want to fight or know how to stop the feelings. and she figures words are not going to help here. she's trying, but sometimes what you feel can't just easily be pushed away. ]
We're going to save all of them. That'll be worth this in the end.
I know... that is why I raised my hand, as well. I thought they should at least have the opportunity to... catch me.
[also, she was probably able to do it only because it would have looked more suspicious for her not to, given how she's always acted in trials up until now.]
...you will make it through this, Beau. It is... it is only a little longer, I hope.
[ yeah, beau also did just because it would've been weird not to, but. ]
I know. I will. I'm not really concerned for me anymore. [ she pulls back just a bit, hands on flayn's shoulders. ] I'm going to make it because our little survivor's club needs me to be here.
It won't be much longer. You're right. We're very, very close.

flayn is trembling, but that is probably unsurprising. she clings to beau as tightly as she can without disturbing her injuries.]
What are we going to do..?

[there isn't any "us". not if beau is saying "us" and referring to the other five, and not to flayn. she's one of the bad guys, too - it's a "we".]
I can bear it if the others are upset with me. But, I... [she bites her lip] ...Dimitri... of all people, I never wanted to betray him in this way.
no subject
[ beau says, firmly. ] This isn't a betrayal. [ ... ] I love Dimitri a lot. He's a good kid, and I hate - I hate that this happened to him.
But he understood. I know he did. He won't hold it against you.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. They can say whatever shit they want to us as long as they're alive. [ ... ] Hey. I'm glad you're still here.

[she wants to skip through tomorrow, and the next week. perhaps the next two weeks. she doesn't know, but -
being near the end doesn't feel like enough.]

[ sigh. ] It's okay. This upcoming week, I can handle whatever we have to do as a Ghost. Okay?

No? [ she's maybe a little amused by this. ]
