[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.
[Ogata stares up at her a long moment, turning over in his head whether to try to come up with more excuses. Or hell, maybe just act on what she said and go off to one of the other unoccupied buildings.
But just right out here, it wasn't actually quiet, not to Ogata. He could hear the faint sounds of the woods at night, but he could also hear the faint sounds of the people still gathered in the mess hall, talking, not exactly celebratory, but not as somber as the situation arguably might call for. Both are good. He's glad to be outside after weeks of inside. And there's something about...
Well, he'd rather not think too much about it. After turning it over in his head, he decides to just give up and be honest.]
... Not complete quiet. Being on the outskirts of things like this is about as much as I can ask of these people. I'm used to this much. You know they don't want me around.
You know that is not true. There are people who do want you around.
[Hello?? Anaido?? Anaido is right there. He exists! Don't erase him! Flayn knows they're friends, even though Ogata punched him during that last trial. It was pretty obvious that he was trying to help him.]
You do not have to be friends with every single person in that room. But I do not think that anyone has the right to keep you from being in there, if you want to get out of the cold.
Do I know that? Or do you just want it to be the case so you don't have to feel bad for me? [Because that's what all this is, Flayn isn't the one who wants him around. She doesn't like him. She's just guilty. She saw Ogata for the unlikeable person he was and exploited it, a perfect scapegoat. Understandably. It was a solid move, made out of necessity. He doesn't see the point in agonizing over it.]
Don't waste your time. Like I said, I'm used to it. It doesn't bother me.
...and while it's true that they don't really get along, and that she does feel guilty over what she did to him - if this was just about guilt, she would have just left him with the blankets and gone off on her merry way.
Even she isn't sure why she's sticking around now.]
It not bothering you is not the same thing as you wanting to stay out here. If what you want is to be outdoors, then I will leave you be, but I see no reason why you should have to stay outside.
