He is, and I've done my fair share of prodding, but Flayn-san... if you don't want to talk about yourself, you can just tell me so. I won't press if it makes you uncomfortable.
Of course. I don't know how much you feel as if you can trust me after everything that happened on the island, but I do want to be of help to you.
Will you keep that in mind?
[ Shinobu isn't going to expect much, but she does want her intention known. It's fine if it's ignored in the end. Flayn's reaction in the aftermath of the island was more mild than what Shinobu expected. ]
[She can't say that she'll act on it, because she's not sure that she will. But she'll remember it.
(It's so easy to remember why she liked Shinobu so much before the execution, sometimes. But she doesn't want to see herself or anyone else put into a position where something like that might happen again.)]
I think he feels a sense of responsibility. It's not a bad thing.
[ Her smile is a bit rueful. ]
I don't expect anyone from the island to think of me kindly after what happened there. Truly, outside of one, all of you have been more kind than anticipated.

Do you disagree?

[
she's still mad about the island.]
no subject
It does not. I know I can be harsh with him, but he has poor judgment.
no subject
[HHHHH, GIYUU. Giyuu. she likes him well enough as a person, but so many things just keep getting under his skin.]
Please continue to assist him, Shinobu. He has great need of your guidance.

I can only do so much. He has to take more steps on his own.
no subject
Unfortunately, he does seem rather set in his ways at times.

...it does. Make me uncomfortable, that is.
no subject
[ She's still smiling, and there's a softness to her voice. She keeps her eyes on Flayn. ]
I prefer to judge people for how they act and behave now and for the truths I see and am shown.
no subject
That's kind of her - very kind. More kind, perhaps, than Flayn deserves, given... how she'd reacted to her in the aftermath of everything.]
...than you, Shinobu.

[ Shinobu says with her broken nose that I forgot to note at the beginning of the thread. ]

i'm just going to go with this to explain why flayn didn't get worried when she saw shinobu's nose at the beginning,,,]
Yes, Giyuu warned me of the same thing. But it seems the both of you are recovering well...?
no subject
She nods. ]
Yes. We'll both be fine. I'm glad to hear he actually told someone.

Nor have I been terribly kind to you.

the question is out of her mouth before she can stop herself.]

All he wants is to get a rise out of someone. His words are a waste.
