To my fellow Knights:

It looks like today is much the same as yesterday. If there is anyone present amongst you who count themselves a member of the Knights and hail from Terca Lumereis as well, then I would like to make a request: If it is at all possible, I wish to convey a message to my subordinates back home.

Sodia, Witcher; if the two of you are present, then I may as well deliver this message personally.

[ ooc; And before 4th wall ends, here is ~~Guy~~ Flynn Scifo. This guy (lolpun*shot*) will be okay with everything but, uh, spoilers beyond Zaude and gd. the fact that Sodia stabbed Yuri. Do not tell him, omg. ;_;... um. I think that about covers it. ]

For your sake, I'm glad.

[ He laughs a little- and... the question honestly surprises him. Why would he... Oh. ]

I assumed it was Lady Estellise-- Estelle because of Yuri. If Yuri knows her, then- I suppose it must be the same one I know.

I could mistaken...

[ She laughs again, glad that Flynn is at least... honest about Yuri, even if he seems naive about everything else, then points to her head. ]

Pink hair, green eyes? Kind of flat-chested?

Flat-chested. [ He says this absent-mindedly, in... surprise. But he catches himself quick. And is able to smile charmingly ~]

Yes. That would be Lady Estellise. Come to think of it, Yuri did mention Her Highness' being here...

I suppose I missed her.

[ There he goes again, calling her Lady Estellise. It's... weird, but not really that incongruous with Ino's impression of her. Sheltered noble isn't that big a leap from sheltered girl. ]

That's weird. She never said anything about being a lady... she told me to call her Estelle.

That would be Yuri's influence. I think it's a good thing she's managed to keep it from you.

It looks like I was the one who should have been taking a page from Yuri in this situation.

[ Too much information, he reminds himself, and stops there. ]

Hm, yeah, Yuri seems to have a pretty big influence on her, huh?

[ Hint hint. Nudge nudge. Ino can't be the only one who noticed the romantic possibilities! ]

Why's that?

It means having to extend my worries for someone else, as well, but... it's been for the better. The two of them needed to get out together and see the world themselves.

[ Well, yes! Because Yuri had this-- expression! But Ino needs to try harder and get rid completely of that subtlety to get anywhere with this knight in matters out of his "knightly duties"! ]

Any noble would attract unwanted attention-- it would simply be safer to lay low and avoid notice.

Trust me, there's plenty of nobles here. It's not that weird in the City.

[ She rolls her eyes, though she's still smiling. Surrounded by amateurs. ]

But... yeah. They seemed pretty close, from what I remember.

[ Come on, Flynn! ]

It would appear that way. [ The gears in his head are tuuurniiing right round, turning riiight roouuund-- ]

He seemed very affected by the fact that she had forgotten everything they'd been through when they met again. I had reason to believe a lot had happened.

[ ding ding ding! ]

But he denied having developed a romantic relationship with Lady Estellise.

[ Hey, you're not as dumb as you look, Flynn! ]

Unfortunately, they didn't.

[ She sounds very put out as she says this, and pouts a little too. Her plan was supposed to be foolproof! If only... if only Estelle had stuck around longer, and things would've worked out! ]

But they were this close, I swear. [ She holds up a hand, using her thumb and forefinger to show him just how close. ] I almost had it!

I think we should just give them some time. I, for one, am somewhat concerned about the effects of such a relationship, but if it's what Yuri wants then as a friend I'll support him and Lady Estellise.

[ He says this very seriously, as if-- well, as if it's just a fact. ]

He needs to get over the notion that I'm a better candidate for Lady Estellise, first. [ He adds then, because Flynn can't possibly forget Yuri's self-demeaning babble about how the Commandant is more worthy of Her Highness... ]

But she was totally head over heels for him, and it turns out Yuri knew. I mean, I still don't know how he felt, because he's an idiot, but he knew. Hm. [ Yes, she's actually giving this some thought. But they were so cute together--well, okay, Estelle was cute and Yuri was more a jerk, but he'd been getting better! Maybe there were some sort of implications in their world or something?

But that just made things more ~romantic~ in her opinion. ]

Wait, why? [ ...Oh right, Yuri is a douche. ] Because you're a lot nicer?

[ Hearing this is a bit strange for Flynn, because of certain circumstances way back then, but-- he supposes it's nothing. ]

Yuri is a lot more perceptive than people think, and I'm not surprised at all to hear that from you. And it has nothing to do with being my being nicer, in this case, though that might be easier to understand.

[ He pauses as he thinks of a way to put it into the right words-- ]

I think Yuri might be insecure of the fact that he holds no proper title, or position in the Empire to possibly stand as an equal with Lady Estellise. It may seem silly, because Yuri himself doesn't give much importance to position of nobility... but in this case, it might just be so.

You're right, that is silly.

[ It may seem a little mean, but to Ino, a duck is a duck is a duck. She waves a dismissive hand, as if sweeping away the topic. ]

I think he's just deflecting or something. Seriously, I really hate his poker face sometimes.

[ The flippant attitude doesn't really affect Flynn, being used to much the same from Yuri. ]

In time, I'm sure we'll find out, Miss Ino.

You know, you really don't have to call me that.

[ ...But it's cute anyway. D'awww. She's not going to protest too hard. ]

It's my choice to do so, Miss Ino. It's not out of knightly ethics alone.

[ ...because he totally misses the point. ]

Alright, if you insist.

[ A pause as she swallows her amusement and twirls her bangs around her finger. ]

You know, all we've talked about is Yuri. He's like, going to sense that he's being talked about and get all smug about it.

[ Here, he shakes his head. ]

Or he could be embarrassed and berate me for speaking about him so much.

Yuri, embarrassed?

[ Said with dramatic faux surprise. ]

[ And... Flynn thinks that's really a surprised expression.]

He gets embarrassed about the little things too.

[ ...Are you serious, Flynn. ]

Somehow, I doubt that.

[ Of course, he is! ]

He doesn't like it when the subject of our childhood is brought up, for example. But we had some good memories together, so it's puzzling.

[ Blackmail material alert! Ino immediately perks up. ]

What kind of stuff?

[ Oh, Flynn has a wealth of dirt on Yuri-- but here, he pauses to think, because to him, it's alllll normal childhood. ]

The time I saved him from drowning when he fell into the river, for example.
