[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?

[okitactless]

Here?

[He could talk about the Shinsengumi and their swords all day long, but if they're talking about camp specifically, that's a much shorter list. He tilts his head, tapping his chin.]

Hmm... well, Okita-kun isn't here [haha] but of course there's Sanji-kun. [Not that that's a secret--he's not very subtle about his loyalties.] Stephanie-kun too, I suppose... we didn't talk much in the castle, but she's very close to Evan-kun. [Evan, whom they lost so quickly. He'd like to think that they would've spent a little more time together even without that, but he supposes they'll never know.]

Whoo-jii is very kind too, though. And Yu-kun. [Yin Yu, he means, though the speed with which he'd taken to fussing is kind of weird, he thinks.] And the other swords, of course.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I did not realize you were so close to Yu...

[she thinks he means yu narukami, not yin yu... oops]

...but I am glad you have found people you can rely on here, who are kind to you.

[okitactless]

[Can you believe no one's questioned this until now

He tilts his head a little.]

Were?

[fishingforcompliments]

[She is. So confused.]

He was killed the week before last...

[okitactless]

Eh?

[...


OH]

No--not Narukami-san. Yu-kun, Yin Yu!

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh!

[WELL, THAT MAKES MORE SENSE. Flayn brightens up immediately.]

Yin Yu is wonderfully reliable, is he not? You certainly have found a good comrade in him!

[okitactless]

He's a little strange, [says Yasusada, who got stuck on a shark] but he cares a lot.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

Excuse me? What makes you think he is strange?

[okitactless]

He fusses a lot, mostly. [A mother hen...] It's not a bad thing.

[Just weird!

(Yasusada never gave him back his needle and thread, what a butt.)]

[fishingforcompliments]

That is not strange, though... it is kind.

[Flayn is on the Yin Yu Defense Squad.]

[okitactless]

It is kind! But it's definitely strange.

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not understand what is so strange about it!

[okitactless]

Well, most of us have killed each other before.

[They're not the kind of crew that merits fussing?? (yes they are)]

[fishingforcompliments]

...I... I do not think most of us were killers, were we? We came from places where killing happened, but...

[okitactless]

--What, really?

[YAMS PAY ATTENTION TO THE LORE]

[fishingforcompliments]

Well - I did not, in any case. And most people I know did not as well, unless they were chosen as an executioner...

[with, uh, a few exceptions]

Is that not the case for you?
