...

[mmm.]

I hope so. I... am a little worried that she may be suspicious of me, actually. She asked me some rather pointed questions after the last trial...

[she glances at magnus]

...but if I am replaced, my replacement shall not be hard to find.

[chaoticlootral]

Hey— stop it. You aren’t going to be replaced, okay? We’ve already said this.

[fishingforcompliments]

I am just saying! If it happens. There is a lot at stake... we have to be prepared.

[disreguarded]

No, Taako is right, you're gonna be fine. Or else.

[fishingforcompliments]

[STOP SHE'S JUST TRYING TO BE PREPARED]

[daifukus]

[ they would have to get through the whole team first :relieved: ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[god PLEASE let some rando shank flayn and let her experience the sweet embrace of death]

[daifukus]

[ no ]

[givethemhell]

[+1 stop this flayn]

[fishingforcompliments]

[no you stop]

[survivaltricks]

[FROWNS]

[DEEPLY]

You're not going to be replaced, Flayn.

[because she isn't going to die!1]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[ET TU, AKIRA. but she gestures at the others]

...I think you can see why I do not think I need protection. They are quite adamant about my survival already.

[survivaltricks]

[ET TU, AKIRA]

I guess I'm just joining that party a little late, then.

[sparkles]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[wait.]

Please tell me you did not...

[survivaltricks]

[looks away]

[innocently]

[fishingforcompliments]

Akira..!

[FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY.]

[survivaltricks]

[TWIDDLES HIS THUMBS]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she. sighs.]

I suppose I ought to thank you, but...

[survivaltricks]

. . .

[he shakes his head]

I know it was selfish.

I just didn't want to be alone again.

[fishingforcompliments]

[well.

she can definitely relate to that.

flayn reaches for his hand to give it a gentle squeeze.]

I know. ...and you are not alone anymore, Akira. You have all of us, now. We are not going anywhere.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah.

[she can hear the relief in his voice]

. . . thanks. For trusting me.

Even if it was obvious I was trying to catch you guys.

[and boy was he trying HARD]

[fishingforcompliments]

It was equally obvious that everything you were doing was for the benefit of everyone trapped in this camp.

[she manages a smile]

...I just wish I had been able to tell you more, sooner.

[survivaltricks]

Mmm.

[that's all he has ever wanted]

I know why you couldn't, though. My role isn't the same as yours, but I haven't been able to tell a soul.

Not Lili, not Ash, not Chuuya. . . no one.

[ruffboi]

You were obviously trying to catch us, but not in a bad way.

[Considering their whole conversation.]

But - it is like I told you. I don't necessarily know that we have the answers you want. We've just been fucking around in the dark, throwing darts.

[survivaltricks]

Mmm, no. You guys have the exact answers I was looking for.

[oh. . .?]

That's why I used 45's item to find Shinobu.

I wanted to know why.

[and. . . well. now he knows!!]
