W4; Friday

[shortfornow]

[ It'll take some time before he actually gets the chance to locate her. When he does, he'll walk over- er actually tap dance over to start picking up some flowers. ]

You were close to one of victims, weren't you?

[ Hello ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[She's quiet, as he starts picking the flowers. She's staring at the plants as if she ought to do something with them, but she can't think what.

After a moment, she nods once.]

[shortfornow]

[ He remembers seeing them standing close, and even holding hands.

He can't really do grief well, but he' will offer the flowers over to her instead. ]

Let's talk about your injuries then. What's the verdict on your wounds?

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn takes the flowers when he hands them to her, but doesn't seem to know what to do with them.]

I shall survive them. None of them are life-threatening.

[She brings up a hand to gesture at her face.]

Although, this will certainly leave a scar.

[shortfornow]

It won't take from your looks in the slightest.

[ Scars can look good. ]

What happened in there anyways?

w4, sunday

[fishingforcompliments]

[After the execution, Flayn had begun avoiding people, for the most part.

Later on in the day, though - when Dazai ducks into the nurse's cabin to escape the hail - he'll find her there, her back to the entryway. She's working at cleaning out some of her wounds - specifically, the one on her back.

it's a little easier said than done, but she's reaching over with one hand to get at it anyway. The execution had aggravated it a bit; it'll need rewrapping.

She's engrossed in the work and doesn't seem to notice his arrival at first.]

thank you

[shortfornow]

[ He wasn't expecting her to be there, but he is glad to see her. He's brushing off the bits of hail that managed to land on his shoulders. ]

Do you want some help with that?

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn looks over her shoulder at him with muted surprise, but -

Well. It is a difficult wound to reach. So she nods.]

...yes, please. If you would not mind.

[shortfornow]

I am offering.

[ He can't make anyone feel better with words and he's not great at being human, but he can do this much. He'll take cleaning supplies from her before carefully working on her back where she can't reach. ]

How are the rest of your wounds?

[fishingforcompliments]

Thank you, then.

[She appreciates his help. The wound he's cleaning is the one from an arrow in her back on Thursday - it's a little roughed-up from hitting the ground and nearly getting choked out, and it definitely needs some seeing to.]

...my side is fine. It was nearly fully healed before all of that, so it did not reopen. The wound to my chest - well... I can take care of that one. It is easier to reach.

w5, friday

[Flayn is not terribly aware of her surroundings.

Which, perhaps, is not a very good thing to be when you're walking up into the mountains - but it also means, because she doesn't immediately realize that Dazai is there, that she isn't bothering to reign herself in, either. There are tears in her eyes that she actually lets fall as she follows the path at a hurried pace.

What's up, Dazai!]

[shortfornow]

[ What do you when someone is crying?

With Anya, she didn't want to really talk or touch anyone. Flayn is different though. He'll continue to follow, stepping up his pace to make sure he's close enough to catch her in case she falls.

After a few more steps, he decides to announce that he's there. ]

Are you planning on ziplining?

[fishingforcompliments]

—oh!

[Well, that's unexpected. Flayn nearly jumps right out of her skin, blinking tears from her eyes as she whirls around to face him. It's still obvious that she's been crying, though; she's not terribly good at covering up her tracks.]

Oh, no, I did not... really have any plans. I... thought it might be helpful to take a walk.

[shortfornow]

We could try it out anyways if you want.

[ Holding out his hand for her. ]

Or we walk around for a bit and see where it leads up.

[fishingforcompliments]

[She stares at his hand for a moment, but then reaches out - a little hesitantly - to take it.]

...perhaps not the zipline. But a walk would be nice, if you truly would not mind.

w5, saturday

[fishingforcompliments]

[No idea where Dazai is but after the trial, Flayn can be found sitting at one of the benches by the bonfire, staring into the flames.

Her eyes are red and her cheeks are pale, but like, that's not news? She's been crying a lot since yesterday.]

[shortfornow]

[ She's close to his cabin, so he'll spot her as he's heading back. Pausing for a moment before he goes to sit down close to her. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[She rubs at her eyes as he sits down.]

Dazai... I... [...] How did it go so wrong? There was not a shred of evidence to link Ookurikara to what happened, so why...?

[shortfornow]

I'm assuming because the votes wound up scatted to a bunch of different volunteers. Add on that emotions were high and he was being aggressive... enough people voted him.

[ Spitevoting. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Aggression is not something anyone should die for!

...not when there were people who would have chosen to do it. Not when...

[Gods, why couldn't she convince anyone to let her volunteer?]

w6: monday

[shortfornow]

[ He's actually heading out of the Leopard Cabin when he spots her. He assumes she's there for Wei Wuxian, but walks over to her anyways. ]

He's too busy being shamed by his messy mattress at the moment.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh - I was looking for you, actually...

[A little awkward, but it's fine!]

[shortfornow]

[ Searching her face for a moment before nodding. ]

Mind taking a walk with me then? It can just be around the cabin.

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not mind at all.

[she holds out her arm to him]

Shall we?

[shortfornow]

[ He'll link their arms and start walking in a direction. ]

Are you glad you no longer have to worry about any penalties for sharing?
