Oh!

[how surprising. she smiles a little, because the paintings have not gotten absolutely horrible yet, and gestures a pair of portraits. they aren't actually interacting with each other in them i just really love that fanart.]

Yin Yu, and Quan Yizhen. [her expression is ridiculously, sappily fond as she looks at yin yu's portrait in particular. flayn stop being het on main for 2 seconds challenge.] Yin Yu was in the camp with me, and we became rather close. I met Quan Yizhen when I went to his world to see him. They have both been very kind to me.

[ HMMM he takes note of that sappy expression

interesting ]

Were you able to continue hopping around world's after returning to Fódlan?

I left the camp with an item that would allow me to visit the people I had met there, yes.

[...]

Were you sent home with something similar?

No. Though some of us were allowed to create their own world.

[oh...]

I am sorry... it must have been difficult to part ways with the friends you made there.

[she's pretty sure claude made friends? he's a friendly guy, from what she remembers of her time at garreg mach.]

Oh, sorry. That was misleading— there was no object, but we have access to a train to visit each other.

Though honestly I wasn't expecting anything.

Oh! That is much better, then.

Yeah, it's not that ba—

[ He glances at the portraits again, going suddenly silent. ]

[

oh. that god bad.]

...do not look at them. It will only serve to cause you pain.

[ His jaw clenches, glancing away and looking toward her. ]

What's the point of this?

Cruelty for cruelty's sake, perhaps. Is that not the way of these places?

[she is so tired of murdergames.

also *that got bad GOD I CANNOT TYPE]

You're probably right.

I think it might also be a warning. Of who else might end up like this.

[that

puts a spark of fury into her expression]

If anyone so much as thinks about involving any of them in this sort of thing, I shall tear them apart myself.

[flayn rn]

[ oh damn ]

... I don't doubt you will. I've found these places place more and more on our shoulders hoping we'll buckle, but I've only ever seen people succeed.

Mostly out of spite.
