[Flayn nods to herself, because he's right; there are people in her camp she would feel comfortable staying close to, so staying with them if it was too late to safely cross the island to his camp is an option. But truthfully - she would feel more comfortable near him.
Even if their memories don't match up, she knows him well enough to know he wouldn't stab her in the back. She knows him well enough to know that she would be safe with him.
So when his tone changes, she looks briefly startled - and then very, very relieved.]
...I may just take you up on that, you know. After all, we stayed together last week - albeit unintentionally - and we were both safe, is that not so?
[ Maybe their promise had some weight to it, if they both survived. Flayn's relief is evident, and though he has no idea if he can actually keep them both safe, something about her reaction warms him.
If he could protect her, then maybe he had a purpose on this island after all. A role to play in this game that wasn't just a pawn. He had failed his family at home, failed Anaido here, but—if he could still be there for even one person... ]
Perhaps I ought to stay close to you, then. You must bring me good luck.
Could it not be said that you must bring me the same?
[Flayn smiles, and her expression settles into something more at peace even than her relief from moments before. Uncertain as this entire situation may be, having a comrade that she trusts to have her back makes it much, much easier.]
Please do stay with me. I am sure that we will be much safer and much luckier if we are together.
