[thinkfirst]

I'm not naive enough to think that everyone shares my exact moral code, but I do have faith that I'll be about to convince our mystery offender to think about their actions, yes.

And I do not think that it's appropriate to speculate about Lady Estellise's opinions on something like this!

[blastiahunter]

I wonder if that's true. It would be interesting to see either way.

Oh? Well, then what if I told you that Estelle has made comments about my body a time or ten and she sounded rather jealous? Isn't that good enough to try to speculate about her opinions from then?

[thinkfirst]

There is no good reason to speculate on what Lady Estellise finds attractive, particularly when she is not here! I'm sure she had very good reasons for saying those things.

Anyway.

Unfortunately, in order to satisfy your curiousity on the matter, I have to track down the person responsible first. I was too confused to get a good look.

[blastiahunter]

Oh, I'm sure she has a perfectly good reason for saying it. I'm not ashamed, you know.

Maybe we should set up a trap to catch them at it again? We could have Yuri help us.

[thinkfirst]

[ That's because Flynn is ashamed enough for both of them!!!!! ]

To be clear, I am not saying that you should be, only that it's highly inappropriate to speculate about Lady Estellise in this particular way. And in other ways. In all ways it should be avoided.

I'm having a hard time picturing what kind of trap that may be, so perhaps we really do need to involve Yuri? What did you have in mind?

[blastiahunter]

[Can't eat it, fuck it or fight it? She has no use for it.]

No, I think you're confused, Flynn. It's only inappropriate for you, as the Commandant, right? I'm not a citizen of the Empire.

Well, obviously, one of us will have to be bait, and then Yuri and the other of us goes out and takes out the heckler. You're prettier than me, so I suggest you be the bait.

1 / 2

[thinkfirst]

That doesn't mean that you can't be respectful! In fact, shouldn't it mean that you should be more respectful, in order to maintain relations?

2 / 2

[thinkfirst]

[ She. Thinks he's.

Well that's.

that's just objectively.... ]

Judith, I mean this with the most possible respect, so please take in it the manner it's intended: you are the prettier of the two of us. That said, I won't expose you to this heckler again, so of course if it's really needed, I'll step up.

In this case, would being bait simply mean... running again?

[blastiahunter]

Estelle and I are friends. I don't think there's anything I could do to really insult her, unless I ripped up a book in front of her. Or made Rita really mad again.

Well, thank you for the compliment, but I'm going to disagree with you. One of us has a league of fans all over Terca Lumireis and someone willing to kill innocent people in their name. And it's not me.

1 / 2

[thinkfirst]

[ It still feels deeply morally wrong to him, but if they really are friends, then Flynn should let it lie, shouldn't he? ]

I am very glad that she has friends outside of the castle. Being friends with a single knight isn't good for anyone, and Lady Estellise has much more to give.

2 / 2

[thinkfirst]

And I would hardly call it a league! It's simply that my knights appreciate a space where their potential is recognized! Surely that's too much of an exaggeration!

[blastiahunter]

Well, I think it helps her to have friends who are women. It's not like she gets enough exposure to that at the castle.

And, honestly, have you polled the people of Terca Lumereis lately? Everywhere we've gone, all we hear is how great you and the Flynn Brigade are. If it was anyone else, it would go to their head.

[Not going to address the attempted murder, Commandant?]

[thinkfirst]

She didn't get exposure to much of anything at the castle. As worried as I was to see her gone, and as much as it is my duty to make sure that she is safe, it's good to see that she's enjoying herself so much. She deserves that chance as much as anyone.

I suppose it doesn't feel as though I've done much of anything. My brigade has barely formed, and our first mission was a colossal failure.

And this is not Terca Lumireis! No one here is enamored with anything about me, so the best bait isn't me.

[blastiahunter]

She got exposure to a lot of books. It's even helpful from time to time since she can quote back what she's read.

[Saves Judith from a lot of explanations that she would have available if she just lets Estelle or Rita do it.]

I don't think that's correct, Flynn. I can think of at least one person who is pretty enamoured with you. <3

[thinkfirst]

I am more than aware of Lieutenant Davies' misguided affections, and I am working on it. It's entirely a case of him being mistreated in his former brigade, I assure you.

[blastiahunter]

Oh, Lt Davies as well? I will change that to two people then. And then whatever is up with Sodia.

:)

[thinkfirst]

What about Sodia?? Sodia has nothing but professional feelings about me, I assure you.

[blastiahunter]

Are you absolutely sure of it? She's really intense for just "professional" feelings. Maybe there's some bleedover somehow, since she thinks she can comment on your personal life.

[thinkfirst]

[ He is less sure about it now!!!! ]

Sodia is a very intense person, and that's a commendable thing. She cares very deeply about what she does. She can certainly be too rigid about things. It's something we're working on, but we all have room to grow. I certainly do. Everyone here does.

[blastiahunter]

Have you actually talked to her about her dislike of Yuri?

[She says dislike, but they both know it's hate. Extremely overdone hate.]

And that's really not who I was talking about in the first place. And you know who I mean.

[thinkfirst]

I'm not sure I do, but either way, I hardly think it's relevant because none of those people are here. Or, perhaps, we could both serve as bait? I just hate to think of this happening to someone else!

[blastiahunter]

You know, I never thought that you would be that obtuse.

And no, I think you'd still be better bait than me. ;)

[thinkfirst]

[ Is it willful obtuseness? Stubbornness disguised as things going over his head so he doesn't have to deal with them, the way he handles all those people flirting with him? Or does he really not get it?

WHO KNOWS (it's the second one). ]

Well then, perhaps we really should both be bait, and we can see who attracts all that attention first.

surprise 2/ 2

[thinkfirst]

That was impolite of me. Judith, if you really don't feel comfortable doing it, I am of course happy to take this on.

[blastiahunter]

I don't think it was impolite. If you want to have a competition over who would attract the most attention, I'm willing to join you.

It sounds like fun.

Who would we have judge? Raven's not here, so we'll need someone who is unbiased. ANd if we have Yuri on standby to catch the culprit, it can't be him.
