[what's up, wwx! there's, like, zero appeal about being near the bonfire after that execution, so once beau's wounds have been seen to, flayn can be found...
...out at the lake!
specifically, at the edge of the dock, staring out at the water. she looks to be deep in thought.]
[The lake is good, he still likes the lake even though a lot of shit happened around here over the weekend. He'll approach - careful to keep his footsteps decently loud so he doesn't startle her, hopefully. Once he reaches where she's sat, he'll just take a seat right beside her.]
Hope I'm not interrupting. Is it fine if I sit here?
[It's fine Kondou-san is nice and the lake monster leaves them alone unless they fall in!!]
Mm. [A little, understanding hum.] Thinking about things like that... I'm not sure if it helps very much, you know? The past will always stay right where it is.
[No amount of thinking or pondering on what-ifs can change it.]
I suppose that is true... though that may make it difficult to support theories in the future. From what I recall, footprints were considered evidence quite frequently on the island.
--The demons didn't particularly care whether or not they got caught. A lot of their work was messy as they could make it, since they wanted to shock, disgust and upset us. They cared more about that than about hiding the tracks they made.
[Because haha, DEMONS BAD. BAD DEMONS BAD!! He doesn't want to launch into another depressive spiral because he might just snap and lose his wholeass mind.]
--There wasn't any excessive gore this time around, at least. That could be a good sign.
Ah... [Hm. No. No he does not, and he can't even blame the demon boat for that. He hums a little, dragging his feet through the water.]
Well. Comparatively speaking. It was a mess, but it's different from someone intentionally cleaving a body into pieces and making a game out of people finding the parts.
Mm, I understand. And even if they're in a situation where they want to come forward, I doubt it would be possible.
[Like, because they're probably still cursed like Evan was, but also because they would absolutely be first on the chopping block if their group ever got stuck again.]
...I wish we had managed not to spill any blood in this place. It would have been nice to simply... wait for the portals to be fixed so we could return home. [Flayn sighs.] But wishing for something will not make it so.

Hope I'm not interrupting. Is it fine if I sit here?
no subject
[he's already sitting down, so she can't tell him to take a seat! it's fine.]
Did you come out here to think as well?
no subject
[He's already reaching to pull his boots off so he can stick his feeties in the water, leaning back where he sits and looking skyward.]
What is it that you're thinking about, exactly? If you don't mind my asking.
no subject
[even though there's a shark and a lake monster. it's fine.]
...I do not mind. I was wondering if anything could have been done to change what happened, or if this was always going to be the outcome.
no subject

[those who forget the past are doomed to forget it, etc]

--Well! We can learn one thing from it, at least. Don't take footprints as definitive evidence.
no subject
I suppose that is true... though that may make it difficult to support theories in the future. From what I recall, footprints were considered evidence quite frequently on the island.
...was it the same where you came from?
no subject
He nods at that, though. But--]
--The demons didn't particularly care whether or not they got caught. A lot of their work was messy as they could make it, since they wanted to shock, disgust and upset us. They cared more about that than about hiding the tracks they made.
[Ah, the joys of dealing with possessed bodies.]
no subject
[Bad demons! Bad!]
I hope that there is nothing like them here.

also, implying wei wuxian hasn't already lost his mind.]
...you... do not consider a bear eating Yu to be excessive gore?
no subject
Ah... [Hm. No. No he does not, and he can't even blame the demon boat for that. He hums a little, dragging his feet through the water.]

...They enjoyed the violence and the rise it got from us.
[The demons, that is.]
no subject
[what else can she say to that. yikes.]
no subject
Hah... That makes two of us. Gives credence to our dear directors telling us that there are no demons involved, at least.
no subject
[she bites her lip]
Even if it could have been messier... whomever it was still took two people from us.
no subject
[Like, because they're probably still cursed like Evan was, but also because they would absolutely be first on the chopping block if their group ever got stuck again.]

All we can do is move forward.
no subject
It would have been, but I doubt that was ever an option. [Then again he is a paranoid thot, so.]
--But you're right about that, mm. One foot in front of the other.
no subject
[it feels a little unfair to yu, to be talking like this - when they still don't have a clue who killed him... but what else can they do?]
...at any rate. Please do take care in the coming weeks.
no subject
You as well, friend. [After one last swish of his little demon feeties in the water, he pulls them up, and pushes himself upright again.]
I'll be off, then - have a few other people to check on. Don't catch a chill while you're out here, alright?
no subject
I shall be careful. Thank you, Wei Wuxian.
