...well! That is very kind of you.

But that is also a dangerous offer to make, Zenitsu. What if I was some sort of villain?

[swordflash]

Then . . . I'll do anything that doesn't involve hurting someone else. How's that?

[fishingforcompliments]

⁠—I would hope that if I were a villain you would avoid me, actually.

[ZEN? PLEASE?]

[swordflash]

There's no way you could be a villain! I mean, you're really nice and sweet. You even said that you'd protect me.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well, that is true... I have been told that I possess the kindness of a saint.

[...]

But a villain might act kind simply to gain your trust! Please be on your guard with others, if not with me.

[He blinks, remembering a familiar advice.]

There was someone like that at the house.

[Not that much came of it. He takes on a somewhat sheepish tone.]

But . . . I want to see the best in people first if I can help it.

[Flayn's expression softens. Zenitsu really is a kind person, if he can say something like that even after the mansion.]

...then we are very lucky to have someone like you here with us.

[swordflash]

[Or far too gullible.]

I think it's you we're lucky to have!

[fishingforcompliments]

[hm]

Let us agree that we are both lucky, then.

[swordflash]

[Sounds fake, but he can't say no to Flayn.]

O-okay!

[She giggles.

That's sorted, then!]
