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.]

[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.
