[ After the Event, Claude is looking for Flayn, but he isn't quite charging at her.

He seems almost wary. ]

Flayn, hey.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she also seems wary, after that typewriter so rudely disclosed things she wasn't planning to talk about.]

Hello, Claude...

[shaft]

[ He opens his mouth, sighs. ]

Uh. So that probably isn't anything you wanted to broadcast, hm?

[fishingforcompliments]

Not particularly, no.

[fckin typewriters. there is probably one in whatever room they're in so she just shoots it a Look.]

[shaft]

[ rip typewriter ]

I can see why you'd hide it so fervently.

[fishingforcompliments]

It is not exactly an easy thing to explain. So... yes, it is much better hidden, I believe.

[shaft]

[ looks a little skeptical ]

Only because it's difficult to explain?

[fishingforcompliments]

Well, that is a part of it...

[shaft]

[ He thinks about whether he should ask...

... ]

Seteth isn't your brother, is he?

[fishingforcompliments]

...he is my family.

[whether she calls him brother or father, that's a fact. so. she'll admit that much.]

[shaft]

[ Absorbs that.

And then just nods. ]

All right, I won't ask you anything more.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she seems almost surprised.

...and then very, very relieved.]

Thank you, Claude.

[shaft]

[ Looks like he wants to ask a lot. ]

No need. I prefer sniffing out secrets myself anyway.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[suddenly she is filled with fear??]

I see.

[shaft]

Don't sound so apprehensive.

[fishingforcompliments]

It is a bit difficult not to when you have that look on your face, Claude...

[shaft]

Do you think I'm going to cause you a headache?

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not think that you would cause me one on purpose...

[shaft]

That's harsh, Flayn! I only have good intentions.

[fishingforcompliments]

I am aware of that! That is why I do not think it would be done on purpose.

[...]

If you were able to... sniff out my secrets, as you say. What would you do with the information?

[shaft]

Talk to you to see if my theories are correct.

[fishingforcompliments]

You have theories already...?

[help]

[shaft]

Right. Like perhaps... You and Seteth actually came from a civilization in the sea?

[ humans don't usually live that long ]

[fishingforcompliments]

From the sea? Do you think us merpeople?

[she seems ... amused!]

[shaft]

Something like that. I mean, water is the origin of life, so perhaps civilisations that live in the sea have longer lifespans.
