[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.
