[It's a bit later in the day, and after getting cleaned up and changed into the outfit she'd found in her cabin, Flayn is back in the mess hall.
She's examining the food that's been set out for them. It doesn't look or smell bad, but...]
Mmm... I wonder how difficult it would be to make this.
[Don't mind her talking to herself, Zenitsu.]

[Entering the mess hall for food, he receives a feast for the eyes. His eyes bulge at the sight of Flayn in a dress as he stands frozen a meter away.]
F-Flayn?
F-Flayn?
[zenitsu NO.
Anyway. Flayn turns away from the food to greet him with a smile.]
Oh! Hello, Zenitsu. Are you feeling a little better now that we are off the bus?

[zenitsu YES.
His blood pressure spikes at the combination of that dress with that smile. He pads over with a grin of his own.]
I am! What about you, Flayn?

I am! What about you, Flayn?
Much better! It is a relief to be able to get some fresh air and have more space to move around.
[He nods. One can't get air fresher than this.]
Is that your dress from home? It looks great on you!

Oh, thank you! It does suit me.
[She enjoys it, so it's fine.]
It was in the box in my cabin. I must admit I was expecting a different outfit, but this is not so bad. Is what you received to your liking?

[So was he. Instead, he's found himself with somewhat older clothes. He lifts an arm to appraise the sleeve. Sure, he likes it (a lot, actually).]
This is what I used to wear before I got my uniform. What about you?

I earned the right to wear this after I represented my class in the White Heron Cup and was victorious.
[And she still sounds pleased as punch about that.]
It was my first time competing in such a competition, but I had a very good teacher.

That's awesome!
[She should feel pleased as punch. A first-timer winning a competition is no joke.]
What's the White Heron Cup?
[She should feel pleased as punch. A first-timer winning a competition is no joke.]
What's the White Heron Cup?
A dance competition. Representatives from each of the houses at the monastery compete to determine who can dance the most gracefully and command the attention of the audience and the judges.
[It was so exciting!!]
[It was so exciting!!]
[How exciting!]
I want to see you dance, Flayn!
I want to see you dance, Flayn!
[She dances, and he's floored.]
You looked so elegant! No wonder you won!

[She curtsies to him with a light giggle. Ah, compliments.]
Thank you - it is very kind of you to say so!

[He giggles stupidly.]
So you competed at a monastery? Is that where Dimitri's also from?

That is correct. We are both students of the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery.
[Not that he's going to know where that is. Not that literally anyone other than Dimitri himself will know where that is.]
Where did you reside, before all of this began?

[Now he has an address if he ever has to hunt one of them down.
But an officers academy—no wonder their boarding passes read the way they did.]
Me? I was on the road, waiting for my next job. Before that, I was staying with the old cultivator who took me in.

[Please do not talk to her about the boarding passes she would very much like to tear that bulletin board down and burn it.]
A cultivator..? Are you from the same place as Wei Wuxian, then?
[that's the only person she's heard about cultivators from so far,,,]

[What boarding passes?]
No, I'm from the same place as Mr. Tomioka and Ms. Kocho.
I don't think our definitions of a cultivator are the same. Me and him, I mean.

Oh! If that is the case, do you also know Mitsuri?
[SHE MISSES MITSURI. she's glad she's safe and, like, not here. but also. she wants to gush about how great her friend is.]

No . . . I didn't even know Mr. Tomioka or Ms. Kocho until we met on the bus. Is she a Pillar, too?
[How could there have been so many of them in one place? Shocking, truly.]

[searches my inbox
it does not appear that mitsuri ever used the word pillar in a tag to flayn, but:]
I assume so, as she was well acquainted with the two of them.

[Can he swap Giyu for her? More girls is always better.]
What was she like?
What was she like?
She was incredibly kind! She always had a kind word to say if you needed to hear it, and would spend time with you if you did not wish to be alone. I do believe she could have gotten along with anyone on the island.
...and she was very, very strong.
