I enjoy all types of fish - but fresh-caught is the best. My mother was an excellent fisher, and on days when she would bring home a large catch, we would feast!
[ Escha's smile doesn't waver. It's sad, but... Still a nice memory. Even if she feels a little bad for intruding on something that was specifically announced to be a 'secret'. ]
Sitting by the sea with your mom... That sounds really nice. I'm glad you were able to protect her grave.
...it is not, but it is something that I can and will live with.
[She tries to smile.]
I need only be very careful about the things I say about myself. And... back home, I have been learning to protect myself. I am also surrounded by capable people who I trust to protect me, so.
As long as you're not alone, that's what's most important.
... I know that this place - these places... Are horrible. But I don't think anyone here will care about the things that need to be a secret back home. I hope that you're able to be honest with anyone that you want to, here.
[ She doesn't even mean herself. She would just like it Flayn felt comfortable with whoever she's closest to. ]
[She's!! Pretty great!! Stuff like this is exactly why, if anyone ever brings up "hey what if Escha killed Yu" in future trials, Flayn might just go full whiteknight on them.]
Thank you. I hope you have people here that you are able to rely on and be honest with, too.

By themselves, or in desserts?
no subject
Either. I know all kinds of dishes with apples - I like them in anything.
... What about fish? Are there certain dishes you like best?

[ Aw, Escha looks very moved by that. ]
That sounds so nice. Were you close with your mother?
no subject
...yes, very. My mother was wonderful.
["was," though.]
What about you? Are you close to your family?
no subject
... Escha smiles softly. ]
I was close with my mom, yeah. She was the one who taught me alchemy.
no subject
In fact - it's still week three. Escha will get to see some of it through Flayn's eyes.
(Pretend the Professor is a woman, though. I can't find a recording of this paralogue with the right Professor.]
...ah.

[she sighs.]
Well. It worked out for the best.
no subject
[ Who knows when those memories were from. But something a bout her blood? Escha doesn't want to pry for details, she's just worried. ]
no subject
[Her silence is probably answer enough to that question, but after a moment, she nods.]
no subject
It doesn't sound fair...
[ Not that she really gets it, but how could anyone want to hurt someone like Flayn? ]
no subject
[She tries to smile.]

I have nothing to be afraid of. Not really.

... I do. I have a lot of really wonderful friends.
no subject
no subject
... Are we friends?
no subject
[that's a pointed question.]
I would like to be.
no subject
But I'd like to be, too.

[ It's kind of embarrassing when it's said like that. Which is probably why people don't ordinarily ask that kind of question. ]
no subject
Me, too.
