[Ogata laughs, but sadly it's the sharp unpleasant one he normally uses.]
I'm not so desperate and pathetic as to demand gifts from people who don't even like me, Flayn. But, to have something, someone, that's just for you and no one else...
[He shakes his head.] It's normal to want something like that, isn't it?
[His gut answer is "no fucking way," but since it's Flayn asking he'll actually think about it for more than two seconds.]
Given that I'm really not ruling out death as a viable option at this point, just based on how miserable my life has been up to this point, I should say no, but on the other hand, the idea of having an immortal body that could be shot and damaged as much as I wanted without dying is interesting. [Ogata why are you like this.]
[Frankly for him that just makes it more ideal because he doesn’t want to be immortal that sounds awful. But harder to kill while still being able to die should he want to or someone else was especially dedicated to destroying him (very appealing), but still.... if he really wanted, more time?
He sits up and looks at her, gaze focused and intent.]
Your so-called hypothetical situation is oddly specific, Flayn. [Elaborate, he’s listening.]
[honestly, she can't believe she's having this conversation with him. it never would have happened seven weeks ago. but she is responsible for something terrible that happened to him, so she ought to try to make amends.]
My long life comes from the blood I bear. It is possible to... use it to extend the lives of others. I have done it once before.
[gently looks back at linhardt's ancestors and wonders what the fuck even happened there. they probably thought they needed more healers for the war against nemesis.]
[Ogata has half a mind to just be smug about Flayn finally admitting her profile age was right after all, but probably she would get annoyed with him and maybe rescind this offer she’s vaguely making, so.]
... Are you offering to give me some of your blood? [HE ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING.]
Yes. Presuming this turns out well, and we are able to return to our homes, my blood ought to have the same properties it did before. If you are interested in visiting many different worlds, I can... ensure that you have the time to be able to do so.
[It seems like he's on board for a moment, but then he frowns again.]
You're just doing this because you feel bad. This is just pity. If you hadn't gotten me killed, you would never make me an offer like this. [There's his terrible cat man pride again.]
Everything you did and said was for your own edification and not because you care about me. [Agitated, his tufted kitty ears going flat against his head.]
[If Ogata doesn't want to be inside with the others, that's one thing. She can't really argue with it.
On the other hand, what he says about the quiet - ]
If it is quiet you are after, there are a great many empty buildings right about now. Really, there is no reason to subject yourself to the cold - this is hardly the only place indoors that you could be going.

...should we have prepared gifts for you as well, then?
[It sounds like a shitpost question, but. Flayn says it completely sincerely, and she looks like she's considering it in great detail.]

[...]
I meant everything that I said to you, you know. Even at the trial. I do believe there is someone out there like that, for you.
no subject
[Ugh. His spaghetti. He looks away from Flayn, half mumbling into his sleeve.]
The fact that I ever met Anaido at all is ridiculous. I can't imagine meeting someone like that again.
no subject
[just look at lili's ship mess!]
...there are an endless number of worlds out there, Ogata. And an unless number of people on each one of them.
no subject
[HE'S STILL DUBIOUS.]
But unlike you, I don't have an endless amount of time to search them all.
no subject
[Flayn bites her lip.]
Speaking completely hypothetically, of course - if it were possible for you to have that amount of time, would you want it?

[is she considering sharing her blood with him and giving him a Crest if they get their powers back to make up for scapegoating him?
maybe.]

If I did not care about you, Ogata, I would not be trying to make amends at all.

... Why? You've been angry with me so many times. You should hate me.

[There is nothing about him here to like at all!!! He knows this!!!]
no subject
[So! There!]

Well, if you insist on behaving illogically, I suppose I don't mind accepting your "gift."
[Your BLOOD.]
no subject
[Once he's able to travel the worlds, and once she gets her powers back.]
- we shall see to it.
[Ogata's getting a Crest.]
no subject
Are you going to go back inside now?
no subject
[It is pretty cold out here, after all. ...at least he's using the blanket.]
Do you intend to stay outside?
no subject
[Most people don't really want someone like him around, he's sure. But, since he's sure Flayn would take issue with that;]
I prefer it out here where it's quiet.
[It's just HIS preference and not any DEPRESSING reasons!!!]
