[Euphie had to leave the apartment. After all, it's a nice day, and there are so many people in The City she's never kissed. Clearly, this needs to be resolved. She's just glad she isn't cursed like those other people trying strange foods.

She hums a cheerful tune as she leaves her apartment to walk out among the shops!]

(OOC: B-be gentle? Anyone is welcome.)

I...

[ He looks at Euphemia and, thinks, maybe - ]

There really- It's probably not worth talking about. The bottomline is that I had been careless and that hurt Yuri badly.

[ sigh. ]

As his friend... I should have known better.

[deadly_legacy]

Flynn... [She doesn't want either of them to be hurting. She gives his arm a light, supportive squeeze.]

Would you like to find a place to sit? [And talk.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

... Thank you.

[ He doesn't say yes, but... well, he lets Euphie lead him. He's kind of feeling... lost still. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[She guides him over to a bench in a sheltered, shady area, beneath a tree and takes a seat with him. She's just quiet for a moment, waiting to see if he wants to speak.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ And Flynn is just silent for a few moment- shopping forgotten in the meantime. He sighs. ]

I don't know how to make it up to Yuri, Lady Euphemia.

[deadly_legacy]

Sometimes there is nothing you can do, but be there for him as you always are. I know you're very important to him. I'm sure your friendship is stronger than anything a curse could have done.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ Flynn shakes his head. Sigh. ]

If it were just the curse alone that overpowered me-

I was fully aware of our friendship and Yuri's feelings on the matter. And still, I did it.

[ :| ]

I... made out with Miss Ino.

[ And he says that with some... disbelief. As if he can't really imagine being consenting to that :| ]

[deadly_legacy]

[There is only a trace of surprise that passes over her face, because there is still mostly worry displayed there instead. She's just quiet for a moment as she rubs his arm, just wanting to make him feel better in some way. Normally, that might feel more awkward than it does today.]

Do you still want to be with Ino?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

N-no!

[ The answer is instant. No offense to Inos out there. ]

Miss Ino is- a fine young lady... but... No. I'm not interested in her.

[ blush. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[She has a definite sense of relief at his immediate answer.]

Then it must have been the curse that made you do it in the first place. [She hopes he finds that reassuring.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ Smiles at Euphemia, genuinely grateful... but. ]

I know Yuri knows that... but- regardless, the end result is this. I wish there was something I could do to make it better.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm not sure what something like that would be. You know him best. If there is something you'll think of it. [She gives him a very gentle smile back and then reaches up to very softly brush some stray hairs back behind his ear.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Euphie-

[ and then he catches himself, blushing. I-it must be the proximity. ]

I mean, Lady Euphemia.

[deadly_legacy]

It's really okay if you call me Euphie, Flynn. We're friends. I'd like to think we're good friends.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

But-

[ He closes his eyes and thinks- ]

It's not... proper.

[ ...lame argument. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Because you're my honorary knight? [Leans against him just a little.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ At the mention of honorary knight he kind of straightens up a bit- he remembers that - but... then he relaxes and smiles. ]

That's right. As honorary knight of Lady Euphemia, I must make sure to respect and honor my lady...

[ and then he eases up a bit with a smile ]

I'm honored that you think of me as a good friend.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm honored that you're honored. [Her tone is a little teasing, but her words are sincere.]

[That hand might be touching his hair again. And maybe it isn't so quick about moving away this time.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ Well, Flynn... recognizes that teasing tone so he tries to follow back. ]

I'm honored that you're honored that I'm honored?

[ He's curious about why Euphie is touching his hair too but... ]

Lady Euphe...mia?

[deadly_legacy]

You almost had it. [Her finger tip brushes lightly over the top of his ear.] Yes, Flynn?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I-is there something on my... ear?

[ conscious and...... curious at the same time. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Just my finger. [Smiles and threads her fingers into his hair instead, more boldly than before.] Soft.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Ah-

[ Kind of confused. ]

It's not as soft as your hair...?

[deadly_legacy]

How would you know?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ It's a trick question. It's a trick question-

Frowning, Flynn tries to think of the best answer that probably won't... you know... be bad... logic! It must work! ]

It smells nice.

[ ... logic is digging him a deep hole. ]
