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. ]

I can see why the other children were entertained.

[ She takes a moment to reign in her laughter, though that image is going to stay in her mind for a long, long time. Yuri won't hear the end of this. ]

You guys are pretty close, hm?

[ Might... be thinking of ~BOY LOVE~ ]

Yuri and grew up together, so I suppose the answer to that would be yes.

I watch his back, and he watches mine. It may not seem so now, with him choosing to follow his own path by establishing Brave Vesperia-- [ and he pauses here, because he knows that lately, their paths... he doesn't know where it will lead them, but he reminds himself that they both are striving for the same goal. Always have and always will. Their paths will always meet. ]

--but Yuri and I will remain to be friends.

[ And it might exist! But it might also be glaringly ~natural~ ]

I can tell.

[ They almost remind her of herself and Sakura--rivals, but friends. Close friends. But Flynn just looks so worried that Ino can't help but reach out and pat his knee. ]

I know you will. Yuri's way loyal to his friends--like a dog. And you're way too nice.

[ So, that mention about Yuri being a dog somewhat distracts Flynn from the fact that Ino just put her hand on his knee. ]

Like a dog... Yuri? [ He stares at Ino for a moment, and then seems to imagine that. He's simple-minded sometimes, really. ]

That's an interesting mental image. But I think he's more like a cat.

[ Now, if Ino were more knowledgeable in fangirl lingo, this would be would hold a very obvious implication... ]

[ She's very touchy-feely. Get used to it, Flynn, because Yuri is already well acquainted with her raping hands. ]

A cat? Well, he does seem to have a weird thing with cat ears...

[ Don't think she didn't notice, Yuri. ]

A weird thing with cat ears...

[ He trails away here as he thinks. But when he comes up with nothing really substantial, he settles for just smiling. ]

I'm not sure I follow, but it must have something to do with what's happened during his stay here, am I right?

[ Oh, Flynn, you're so naive. ]

I thought he just came here with it.

Yuri... came with cat ears?

[ That doesn't compute at all, so he looks down to think-- only to um. realize. hand. on. knee-- Despite the uh... slight embarrassment, he manages to continue smiling. This... ]

Uh. Miss Ino...?

[ -- reminds him of that time Lady Estellise worriedly checked him for any injury when they met again back at Capua Nor... ]

No, his cat ear fetish. Hm?

[ He's... embarrassed. And that's... adorable. But fine, fine, she's reclaiming her hand.

And leaning in closer instead, pointing to his cheek. ]

You're blushing a little.

Cat ear... fetish?!

[ That statement actually makes his voice rise a bit, in complete and utter... surprise. Yuri, what have you been doing here? And with Lady Estellise, no less-- But that next comment makes him clam up a bit, not out of denial but... well. just. wha-- ]

I,--

[ No, a more important matter is at hand, Flynn. Ask for clarification on that cat ear fetish. Ino wouldn't use the word 'fetish' otherwise. ]

I'd like to hear about this matter of Yuri acquiring a... cat ear fetish, as you put it, Miss Ino. If you will.

[ Like a true sadist, she smiles at how flustered Flynn becomes, though the fact that he doesn't seem aware of Yuri's little thing with cat ears was surprising. Was it really a new development? ]

Seriously, hasn't he always had a little cat ear fetish?

[ The knowledge that Yuri is... becoming someone he doesn't quite know is troubling. But there's hope-- Flynn, still believes in Yuri's uprightness. ]

Yuri may be attracted by significantly older women... but to my knowledge, he has no known... fetishes, Miss Ino.

[ He says this almost as if he's talking to himself as he attempts to rationalize the situation. He calms down somewhat, after a moment, and manages to regain composure. ]

It's possible that it's a misunderstanding. Nevertheless, I would like to hear the details of this matter, more importantly, on the manner this was made known to you.

[ Older women?! Wait, wait, he can't just say that and expect her not to react, because... seriously. This is the first she's heard of older women. ]

Wait--older women?

[ Okay, fine, we're getting the cat ear thing out of the way first. ]

Well, um. Alright. It was on one of the curse days, and he was just... staring at this pair of cat ears. I'm sure it's not really a fetish, exactly, just a little--thing of his, I guess. I've kind of wanted to try on a pair and see how he reacts, actually...

[ That... relieves him, at least. That Yuri hadn't acted on that fetish-- but it's still troubling. ]

I'll speak with him about this. I- I suppose it's only... a quirk. And fetishes in itself aren't a precursor to a worsening character.

[ But it worries him still, of course. And then he gets back on that first topic. ]

Most of the women Yuri has liked are older, Miss Ino.

[ How seriously Flynn is taking this is kind of... amusing. There are way worse fetishes out there, and doesn't Flynn have a little thing of his own? Everybody does. ]

I'm sure it's fine, seriously. Just a harmless little fetish. Everybody has their quirks.

[ Now... gossip gossip gossip. ]

Yuri and older women, huh? That's pretty surprising.

I suppose you're right, Miss Ino.

[ But he will speak with Yuri about this. And then- he catches what Ino said afterwards. Without any sort of embarrassment at all visible on his face, Flynn clarifies--]

I don't think so. His first love was a woman fourteen years his senior. Hank and myself were pretty surprised, but he was so passionate about it that we eventually let him do as he wanted.

[ This is. allllll. news to Ino. And very interesting news. ]

Fourteen years older than him? Wow.

[ She leans back in her seat, apparently mulling over this little tidbit. ]

What a player.

It was an interesting relationship. To say more would be stepping into Yuri's privacy, however.

[ And having said that, he adds, ]

In that very same effect, I will ask Yuri about this 'fetish', for the sake of knowing alone. Regardless of the answer I stand to receive from him, I will remain his friend.

[ And the possibility that Yuri has kept this from him all this time worries him, because that would be out of character for Yuri... but he's open to possibilities. People were subject to error, right? He's... confident that it's all a misunderstanding, however. Somehow. ]

[ Privacy schmivacy. This is good stuff here, stuff she can rub in Yuri's face all day long.

...Or have Flynn rub it in his face for her. She leans in conspiratorially. ]

You should ask him about his other little thing too.

[ ...Because for whatever reason, having Flynn on Yuri's case about stuff he didn't do is more okay. ]

[ The fact that Ino just leaned close is lost on Flynn whose... curiosity piqued. ]

Miss Ino--?

[ He turns to her questioningly and doesn't really finish his question; it's all over his face. :| ]

[ Her voice drops a few octaves in a textbook stage whisper. ]

Haven't you noticed yet? All his roommates are like, fifteen.

[ And... that isn't surprising at all for Flynn, and he actually laughs at Ino. ]

Yuri has a way with kids. I'm not surprised at all.

[ Of course, it flies over his head that Ino'd just suggested Yuri was a possibly a pedophile. Nice save, Yuri! ]

[ Well... what was she expecting? Pretty much everything else she'd said went whoosh, right over Flynn's head. She just needs a new tactic. ]

Oh, yeah, he's good with kids, alright.

[ Wait for it. Wait for it. ]

He kissed one.

[ Now... that gets Flynn's attention. But for the wrong reasons; see, considering the fact that Terca Lumireis is a world where monarchy still exists, it goes without saying that pedophilia has a sliiiightly lower bar. That said, Yuri kissing a fifteen year old is surprising in that he wasn't aware Yuri was interested in younger people... or-- ]

[ He just blinks in surprise as he tries to really soak that in. Or make sense of it. Who did Yuri kiss?! ]

[ Success! She flicks her hair over her shoulder, satisfied. ]

It was more like... making out, actually...
