[Her voice is a little flatter than usual and she doesn't turn on the video like she normally does.]

Please be careful in the cold. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but the welcome center does have extra coats and blankets to lend or give if anyone is without.

[Private to Yuri]
Yuri...

Suzaku [Voice falters a little.] is gone.
[End private]

(OOC: Suzaku went home for a canon update. Of course she doesn't know he'll be back soon!)

Him? ...Do you mean Flynn?

I mean Flynn.

[His hands feel heavy, suddenly.]

Action;

[prettyimpulsive]

What happened? [A gentle worried tone.]

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

I shot him.

[He pointed his index finger and thumb in the shape of a gun, aimed at the door and pretended to shoot.]

Don't know where it hit- but I intended to kill.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

...You were cursed. [It's not really a question. She doesn't believe Yuri could have shot Flynn to kill him.]

What do you mean you don't know where it hit?

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

He fell through a glass wall as soon as I shot him. Left the City then, too.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[…no.]

Yuri…

[She pushes her own fears down and reaches up to brush his hair back, so she can see his eyes.] Flynn will will be all right. He will! [He has to be.]

[He hugs her close shamelessly. He didn't really need the comfort, but-- there's something in honesty that actually lifts the burden of guilt, soothes the wrinkles in his brow just a little.]

See, what would I do without you?

I don't want to find out. [As unfair as it is, she doesn't want either of them to leave. She didn't want Suzaku or Flynn to go either. She can't control it. Her selfishness is hers alone to bear. She just holds him tighter and hopes for things she can't and shouldn't have.]

[Even if she's not his best friend-- she holds a different but equally as close and important position to him. He's not quite sure what it is, not quite sure how to express it, but without Euphie...]

Let's keep it that way, then.

[...he'd have no foundation, no stability in this crazy place.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She nods.] I'd like that. [She touches his cheek and then brushes back his hair.] When... When did that happen with Flynn?

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

The-- weird gambling curse or whatever. I was a mercenary then.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[See, she knew he was cursed.] You've been holding on to this since then?

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

I'm always here for you, Yuri. No matter what's happening. Always.

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[He just. Laughs. Not out of mockery, but--]

We really make quite a team.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[A little surprised by that.] Why do you say that?

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Just a feeling is all.

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

We do. Even if you are teasing.
