[okay important question, pixi




is he wearing the hairpin right now because if not, that memory was from his point of view, which means flayn has no idea what kashuu put in his hair.]

[okitactless]

[STOP he's not but he probably saw it when Kashuu reached for him??? Honestly though it's funnier if she doesn't know so whatever you want to do. She can at least sense that his bangs don't feel right, because they got LOPPED OFF BY A SWORD THAT WAS WAY TOO CLOSE TO HIS DANG HEAD]

[fishingforcompliments]

[OH true. i am a fool and got confused by not being able to see it on the screen until kashuu was finished.

anyway.



once the memory is over, flayn doesn't look like she really knows what to say, but.]

...was that a friend of yours?

[okitactless]

[Flayn is so lucky compared to the people who got his tragic memories, wow. After this one, Yasusada's got a soft smile on his face, and he nods.]

That was Kiyomitsu, my partner! We're both Okita-kun's swords. He's waiting for me, back home. [Ah, but her memory--] Who was that, that you were talking to?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh - I hope you are able to see him again soon.

[let! yams! be happy!!]

...that was Felix. He was a member of another class at the Officers Academy.

[okitactless]

He's lucky he isn't here. He'd hate getting dirty.

[Looks at the announcements... yeah... happy

Anyway]

Officers Academy? What's that?

[fishingforcompliments]

Would he..?

[That tracks with what she saw in the memory, at least.]

...oh. It is hosted at the monastery, which is neutral ground - students are taught the art of warfare, various types of combat, and to command troops. Many of them go on to become knights or important military leaders in their home countries.

[okitactless]

Yes. He doesn't think he's beautiful, for some weird reason. So he's always worrying about his hair and his nails and all of that stuff.

["That stuff".]

Eh, are you training to be a Commander?

[fishingforcompliments]

...what? How could he think that? I saw him in your memory - he was beautiful...

[kashuu please!]

I do not know that I shall ever be one, but many of the students who attend the academy do end up eventually becoming just that.

[okitactless]

Right? It doesn't make sense.

[He is!! See, Flayn is smart. Even if she's wrong about swords.

--Speaking of:]

How can you become a Commander if you want to use a sword to cut firewood?

[fishingforcompliments]

[urk.]

Well - better firewood than people, no...? A sword that is used to cut firewood is directly responsible for helping to keep someone safe and warm.

[okitactless]

But that's not what we're for! And it can hurt us! [Flayn!!]

[fishingforcompliments]

...it can?

[OH NO... HOW MANY SWORDS HAS SHE HURT... she looks genuinely distressed by this]

[okitactless]

Of course, we're not made for something like that! You need an axe for chopping wood, an axe.

[She does look distressed, though, oh no... he raises his hands, waving them.]

I mean, some swords are sturdier than others, so they'd probably be okay, but it can't possibly feel good.

[fishingforcompliments]

...but it looked effortless when he did it before...

[...]

He must have a very trusty blade.

[okitactless]

Do you know what kind of sword he has?

[fishingforcompliments]

[she shakes her head]

I apologize, but... no. I am not terribly familiar with types of blades.

[okitactless]

Well, just be sure to tell him to be careful.

[If she can go home. He's not staying optimistic so much as he's purposefully ignoring reality.]

And for that matter, stop using us as kitchen knives!

[fishingforcompliments]

--yes, I have learned my lesson about that! Having heard it directly from a sword that you would rather not be used in the kitchen, I will... refrain from asking Felix to do such things in the future.

[okitactless]

Okay. Thank you, Flayn-kun. [Somewhere, Lan Wangji's sword is chopping up watermelons.] ...Then, will you tell me more? About your home?

[fishingforcompliments]

Certainly, but... what would you like to know?

[okitactless]

Do you have a partner? Or other comrades?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... yes! I have many wonderful classmates.

[her expression warms as she thinks back on them.]

With them, I feel safe even in the midst of battle.

[okitactless]

[Oh, she looks happy. Yasusada smiles, genuinely glad for her.]

That's good. It's important to have people you can trust. [He dearly misses his team, but he's glad that there are some familiar faces here.] Do you have people like that here?

[fishingforcompliments]

I do.

[her expression stays just as warm. oh dear.]

...do you? People from the same of these... "games" that you came from, perhaps? Or people you have grown close to here?
