[when flayn feeds the gray bunny, it hops down the hallway to the door with a new moon, allowing her to follow it to a standard camp office. there's a desk with a chair across from it, but black shadows isn't seated. they're standing near the office window, staring out of it, unmoving.
they turn to face flayn when they hear her enter, though on spotting her, they... shrink back a little.]
...Flayn. Apologies for earlier. Didn't realize anyone would...
[She follows the bunny down the hall. She's a little less speedy than she would normally be, but luckily there aren't a whole lot of twists and turns to be taking. It's pretty straightforward and once she arrives, she opens the door gently.]
Iā no, you do not need to apologize to me.
[A beat.]
That is actually part of why I wished to speak with you... to remind you that what happened is not your fault.
That is alright. This is a new situation for you, too.
[she offered this to winter wizard, but - she'll offer it to black shadows, too.]
...I know the circumstances are now different from what you had hoped, but if there is anything I can do to be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to tell me so.
...I imagine you must be busy with preparations for tomorrow and for next week, but. If ever you simply want someone to talk to, I do no mind listening, either. Even if there is nothing you need done.

Okay, no, she'll just have some very strong words for them.]

[She sighs.]
...but if you are already convincing yourself of your own guilt, then I am glad it was me it happened to and not someone who would agree with you.
no subject
You are too kind, Flayn. Appreciated.
[their posture relaxes the tiniest bit.]
Will try to avoid any further harm.
no subject
[The others learned to take "can't say" for an answer pretty quickly once someone other than the NPCs bled. That fact hasn't really escaped her.]
...we will try to avoid any further harm as well, but... from what the travel guide says now, it appears that may not be possible.
no subject
their posture droops, hood tilted downward.]
May not be, no. Situation is what we were trying to avoid.
no subject
...how much do all of you know about what went on where we came from before?
no subject
Am aware you... were killed.

Is... that what the isolation cabin is for? Or is there something more where Tsurumaru is waiting for us?
no subject
...Tsurumaru will be in safe hands.

Good. And... once the problem with the portals has been resolved... he will be able to go home as well?

Do not know everything, either.

...very well! In that case, do the three of you like tea?
