[she feels a little bad about how their interaction went during the trial, so once flayn's taken a little time to rest, anaido is among the first she seeks out. when she spots him, wherever that may be, she calls out to him.]

[He's just leaning against a tree, closing his eyes - and then opens one, glancing over at her. The circles under his eyes are more prominent.]
Flayn. [He smiles.] Are you doing okay?
no subject
[She looks a little uncomfortable, though - and the reason for that will soon become obvious.]
...I wanted to apologize. I mishandled the situation when we spoke during the trial - I fear I may have overstepped my bounds.
no subject
[He stares at her for a minute, actually a little surprised.]
You don't need to apologize at all. I wasn't offended.

Recall what? Our time on the island?
no subject
And your time before the island.

[And yet, he looks...distant.]
no subject
[That distant look is concerning.]
no subject
Hahaha. "Bittersweet", maybe? That's not right, either, I suppose.

WHY DID I WRITE WOULD TWICE INSTEAD OF WORD. GODDAMNIT. AAAAAAAA.]
...I suppose finding exactly the right word can be difficult.
no subject
[He turns away, his gaze sad.]
Three words come to mind, I guess. "I miss him".

[He reaches over, ruffles her hair with a hand affectionately.]
I hope you reunite with your loved ones, too.
no subject
We will. I will accept nothing less than a way out for all of us.
