No, that is not what I meant... only that I do not know what else to say. But I do not wish to leave you alone, either, if it would help you to have company.
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. ]

[ ... Escha sighs again, even longer this time. ]
Do you - sorry - but do you want to talk about something else?
no subject
[no "might" about it.]
I must confess, though - I do not know what else to talk about. ...mostly, I wanted to see how you were doing.

It's always hard to wind down after the trials. Being alone just makes my head spin.

But... if you have any questions you would like to ask, I could answer them for you.

[what can she say about herself...]
My favorite food is fish! What is yours?

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.
