[stares at pcs. stares at timing.

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...?

[wisterin]

[ i'm crying britt i'm sorry i thought i mentioned it first thing but i'm a fool

She nods. ]

Yes. We'll both be fine. I'm glad to hear he actually told someone.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I am a bit surprised that he told me. I have not been terribly kind to him since the island.

[...]

Nor have I been terribly kind to you.

[wisterin]

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.

[fishingforcompliments]

Is that one Ogata?

[



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

[wisterin]

[ She smiles. ]

It wouldn't be anyone else.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, he is rather... abrasive.

[wisterin]

I don't mind if someone doesn't like me.

[ That's life. ]

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

[fishingforcompliments]

It is remarkable, that you manage not to let him get under your skin.

[wisterin]

I've found that reacting to people like him only encourages them to say worse things.

[ Don't feed the troll. ]

If he wants a reaction, I won't give him that.

[fishingforcompliments]

[but what if we feed the troll flayn's shitty cooking,]

You have such control.

[Flayn can't help it - sometimes, her temper runs away with her.]

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu would support it. Give Ogata your cooking, Flayn. ]

I meditate sometimes to help focus. A calm state of mind can lead you to a better solution.

[fishingforcompliments]

Meditation! I had not even considered that...

[Huh! Maybe she'll have to give that a try.]

[wisterin]

It's not something that works for everyone, but I'd recommend it. It is all right to get angry. From you, I feel like it'd have more power than from others.

[ Her temper against Ogata is valid. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...why do you believe that?

[wisterin]

You have a sincerity that others don't.

[ Even with all her identity hiding. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[shhh we're not talking about that]

Ah... thank you for saying so.

[wisterin]

[ we're not talking about it, but we are thinking about it.

She makes a soft noise, something like a hum. ]

I've taken up enough of your time. Please stay safe, Flayn-san. Until we're able to leave, I'll fight for your safety.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

You stay safe as well, Shinobu. I will do the same. For you, and for everyone else trapped here with us.
