I'll eat later. First, I need to take care of this.

[Washing clothes, that is.]

I have to return Akira's jacket.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah, yes - it was kind of him to lend that to you.

[She's glad he was there to help Zen through his trying lake times...]

[swordflash]

[Noodles took away twenty years of his short life.]

We didn't talk at the house, but he's been like that to me since we got here.

[Akira must be having a hard time right now, considering what he said after Guy's conviction.]

We're lucky that he's here.

[fishingforcompliments]

He seems a very reliable person.

[...but he also seems to take quite a bit onto his shoulders. Flayn hopes that he'll be okay tonight, but he certainly seemed... upset, after the verdict was announced.

She doesn't know him well enough to interfere, not really, but she'd like to.]

[swordflash]

He is.

[Thankfully, he isn't alone.]

And he's not the only one. Mr. Wright is more reliable than he says he is.

[There are many more, and he doesn't doubt the competency of the campers from other places. If they're going to find another way, he thinks they're in good hands.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...you met some very good people at the mansion.

[just saying!]

[swordflash]

It looks like it was the same for you at the island. You even met Mr. Tomioka and Ms. Kocho before I did.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[I MEAN

SHE LIKES SHINOBU JUST FINE




SHE'S STILL KIND OF EHHHHHHHH ABOUT GIYUU THOUGH.]

[swordflash]

[He cocks his head to the side.]

Flayn?

[fishingforcompliments]

...well, Shinobu and I get along well enough.

[swordflash]

[Jeez, what did Giyuu and Shinobu do to Flayn? He's going to have to backpedal out of this somehow.]

It makes me wonder if I'll ever get to meet Ms. Mitsuri.

But there are others from the island here, right?

[fishingforcompliments]

[she is never going to get over that last execution. never.]

I hope that you will get to. She is a remarkable woman.

[flayn loves her SO MUCH.... mitsuri please be safe wherever you are]

Ah, yes! Anaido, C-3PO, Dimitri, Minako, and Yin Yu are from there, as well. ...so was Ogata.

[swordflash]

[Elsewhere, Mitsuri is perhaps gorging on a meal for eight people.

A brief moment of silence passes for Ogata before Zenitsu answers.]

Minako's cute. Aside from her and Dimitri, though, I haven't really talked to the rest.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Mitsuri is valid.]

She certainly is! Anaido is a little eccentric, and C-3PO is... he means well, even if I do not understand half the things he talks about. [or even how he's able to talk and walk and so on... robots????] But they are both kind. And Yin Yu...

[She smiles.]

I have met few people as kind or reliable as him. He can be a little slow to open up, but he is a wonderful person.

[swordflash]

[Oh, Flayn's rundown of the islanders! This is sure to be reliable information.

He also has no idea how Threepio functions. And is Anaido actually okay? Zenitsu isn't deaf; he heard that shouting at the hot springs.]

He's that great, huh?

[fishingforcompliments]

He is.

[She says it simply, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.]

He is a little shy, though - but I know you will be kind to him.

[...she doesn't realize that Zenitsu can be a gremlin when he wants to be.]

[swordflash]

[Yin Yu has the power of Flayn's faith on his side.]

If you say so, I will.

Have you already spoken to him, then? If not, I'm sure he wouldn't mind a visit from you.

[As much as he enjoys Flayn's company, he's also sure that she must have others she wishes to see after a day like this.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[She laughs softly under her breath at that.]

...is that your way of telling me to leave, Zenitsu?

[swordflash]

I-it's not!

[Except it kind of is, and he flusters at the direct question.]

I like talking to you, but I don't want to keep you if you have other places to be. And it's pretty loud here, you know?

[The thumping of the laundry machines here isn't all that pleasant.]

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not mind it. [The noise, that is.] And I like talking to you, too.

...but if you want some time to yourself, I understand. I only... do not wish for you to be alone if you do not want to be.

[swordflash]

[He stares at her. Then, after a lengthy pause that's beaten by the sound of running laundry machines, he lifts a hand partway toward her.]

Then . . . can you stay a little longer?

[fishingforcompliments]

[Oh, Zenitsu.

Flayn's expression softens, and she nods, reaching out to take his hand.]

Of course I will.
