[Flynn was still decompressing the experiences he had with the others after being hurled halfway across the world. Sure, he was able to cheer one person up, but it still surprised him how detached he reacted when everything was happening so quickly. When did he become so jaded? First, by not completely trusting the orphan boy, and second, trying his damnedest to keep calm when the woman who looked like Estelle lay there dying in his lap. It was almost as if... well, he knew that half of the reason why Yuri did the things he did back in Terca Lumireis was because he felt like nobody else would do what was necessary, so he took on the role himself. Was this how he felt? To Flynn, somebody needed to be the big brother to the group. Someone needed to keep their head on straight, be the one wary of all things, and make sure everyone got back safely. Someone willing to do what had to be done, when nobody else could or was willing to do what was necessary. It was like he was a completely different person, and he wasn't sure if the person he's become since arriving in Crystallis was the same man who was taken from Terca Lumireis... or if that was a good thing. These thoughts plagued his mind a she went about his day, doing his business.]

Mmmmm...

[She isn't sure what to say to that, if only because she's not sure 'growth' is something a soulless creature can experience. She can learn from mistakes and adapt her strategies to better get what she wants, but growth? That might be impossible for her.]

Is that jealousy, then? Or a mere lack of self-confidence?

[She watches him as she poses her blunt question, curious. He doesn't seem all that upset or wrathful toward this friend of his, so she'd guess he's just humbly accepting his flaw for what it is.]

[dammit_yuri]

It can be called several different things.

[he humorlessly chuckles]

Sometimes I can't help but be jealous that Yuri can do things that I can't precisely because we are two different people. In the same regard, there are things that only I can do, so stressing out about my inadequacies serves nobody.

[gorgeous_sin]

I'd hardly call a fighter like yourself 'inadequate.'

[She smiles over the rim of her teacup before taking a sip.]

Your accomplishments as a human are somewhat remarkable as well. You have more dignity and common sense than many of those other fools.

[Flynn pauses while he muses over her words. He then decides to accept them, regardless of the barbs. Why was she so earnestly pursuing humanity when she seemed to have almost nothing but disdain for them? Then again, that was the duality of human nature. Perhaps Lust was more human-like than she was giving herself credit for.]

Thank you.

[He downs the rest of his tea in one gulp.]

Thanks for listening.

[gorgeous_sin]

If it granted you some measure of reassurance, then it's my pleasure.

[She smiles, laying her hand over his and giving it a brief, reassuring squeeze. Is it a falsehood meant to gain his trust? She's certainly done as much in the past. But truth be told, even she isn't sure if she means it or not. It's just the natural thing to do.]
