[Hours after the execution, Flayn is ... wandering.
She should probably be resting. But it's hard to keep still, right now. She feels jittery and useless. She has a man's blood on her hands, and for what...? She's still here, but the person Yasusada killed is not.
Her mind is a little quieter than it was, at the trial, but maybe that's because she's still numb from the execution.
She's more aware of her surroundings than she was before, though. When she spots Anaido, she nods to him in greeting.]
[Honestly, he was looking for her after the execution, but decided to keep his space, at least for a while. But even he's surprised to see her out and about, and he pauses, blinking.]
Ah...Flayn.
[He steps forward, his expression creased with obvious concern.]
I guess so. But it seems like there's so many things to remember and do! Like Wei Wuxian told me about courting, and chickens, and...haha, there's just a lot to it! Way more than stories and stuff would have you believe.
We were brought together once. There must have been - something... that connected our worlds to... all of this. So it is not outside the realm of possibility that there will be some way for us to meet again, even if it takes a long time for us to find it.

Ah...Flayn.
[He steps forward, his expression creased with obvious concern.]
What are you doing? Shouldn't you be resting?
no subject
If I stay still, I keep— thinking. About what happened.
no subject
[He frowns.]
Hey, do you want to walk around then? And just talk about whatever you want?
no subject
I would like to hear you talk. [she smiles very faintly] ...if you would not mind?
no subject
[If he looks a little awkward, well, he is! But he's happy to help Flayn, so he steps ahead, expecting her to follow at his side.]
Hm, I've been thinking about...all the things I want to do for Wen Ning. [A short huff.] I'm rather new to romance, you know.
no subject
If there was anything that could get her to smile, that's... one of them. She follows at his side and onward they go!]
Being new at it does not mean that you will not be good at it. As long as the two of you make each other happy, that is what is important, is it not?

[Her smile is a little bittersweet, now, but. It's fine.]
no subject
Have you ever been in love, Flayn?
no subject
Yes.
no subject
Are they nice?
no subject
no subject
What's your favorite thing about them?
no subject
[her brow furrows a little as she tries to think about it. hm.]
All the things I like about him together are what make him who he is, after all.
no subject
[The (w)hole is the best, after all.]
Will you take him to your world when this is all done?
[He's just going to assume its someone from here.]
no subject
[She shakes her head, her expression a little sad.]
He has told me... he has many things that need to be done, in his own world. I cannot ask that of him.
no subject
no subject
[She definitely doesn't look happy about it, but. It is what it is.]
no subject
[He stops, looking over at her with a frown.]
You won't be together? You have to at some point, right?
no subject
[She just doesn't know if they will.]
no subject
Flayn. Don't tell me you're going to give up.
no subject
I will not tell you that.
no subject
You won't tell me, but...
[A short sigh.]
If you want your happiness, you have to pursue it. Please.
