[lili is marching around the party bus, because of course she is - and she's going to frown whenever she sees flayn. not because of flayn herself but - ]
Flayn, have you had any luck finding a hair brush? Or did all of those get stolen too?
[she's so done, fam. her fingers are naturally in her hair, trying to comb out the tangles from sleep....
oh and since flayn saw her yesterday, lili appears to have a shallow cut on her cheek. it's cool]
[flayn slept with her hair down, and now her hair is tangled up. she's actually attempting to use her fingers to untangle her hair, too - birds of a feather flock together, it seems!
she isn't having much success. she makes a soft, annoyed sound in the back of her throat as she looks up.]
Flayn reaches down to unzip her fanny pack and pulls out ... a knife. Not all the way! Just far enough to show the handle.]
...after I noticed many of them were missing, I thought that I had better do the same. I intend to consume only things that I cook this time around, and... it would have been very difficult to cook without one.
[ . . . . lili manages a soft, if sheepish smile - ]
I'm glad you told me - I wasn't sure how you would've felt if I asked. I ran into Yin Yu earlier, and he... well, he tried to keep your name out of it. But he mentioned that someone he knew also possessed one, for the same reasons as me.
So I guessed it was you anyway.
I didn't mean to pretend like I didn't know, so thank you for trusting me.
[it felt dishonest to even act for a few moments like she wasn't aware, so. she's just coming clean entirely, because that's the lili an way.]
[She smiles back at her. No harm done here, really. And if Yin Yu trusts her enough to divulge that he knows someone with a knife, then she can only see that as reaffirming the trust she has in Lili already.]
Thank you for trusting me, as well.
[She sighs.]
Do you think it is too much to hope for that everyone who took a knife did so for the same reason we did?
That's my hope. I have some leads, but... well, might as well keep looking. I'll share what I find if you do? [a beat] Though I get if you want to conceal identities too - I just wanna make sure they're not with some homicidal maniac.
[better to be safe than sorry!
she pauses at that though, blinking]
.... you can ask Ookurikara for help with learning, if you want. I only know how to cook because he taught me. He looks mean and he doesn't like to talk, but if you have a good reason - just tell him I sent you.
[she is going to fucking bully her bf into making friends]
I will tell you what I can. If someone wishes for me to keep their identity a secret, then I shall simply tell you that it is with someone safe.
...of course, if I believe that it is with someone dangerous, I will tell you immediately.
[If it turns out Ogata has a knife she is absolutely doxxing him immediately.]
Oh! I met him earlier, I believe. He did not talk much, but he was rather preoccupied with finding his sword, so I cannot fault him for that. ...I hope it turns up.
[She smiles.]
He cooks? How impressive... I would not have guessed that.
[tiny girls info exchange is go! she looks pleased with it though, because she'd rather have it be like this than them struggling to not make progress at all]
Mm, he's pretty one-track minded, right? [aS IF SHE ISN'T] But he's good at a lot of things, skills-wise. Swordsmanship, cooking, looking after animals... [she sounds oddly proud, even though they aren't her own accomplishments] He's a moron sometimes, but he'd never do anything unjust.
Not to mention he's easy to look at.

It is not a bad thing at all, to be able to focus on the task at hand.
[It's pretty impressive, actually! Flayn takes note of all of his skills (and of how proud Lili seems to be, just talking about it), but what really makes her smile is what she says at the end.
Ahh... that's it, then? She likes him? How cute.]
I did not get a good look at his face... [Ookurikara was busy looking for his sword, and she was trying to help, so... there wasn't much eye contact going on.] But it sounds as though I may need to take a closer look. Unless that would bother you?
Nope. I don't really care if you've got two eyes and use them. He looks as terrible as anyone else right now in these outfits, but he's normally unfairly hot.
[KARA IS HOT, THIS IS A FACT OF LIFE, AND SHE WILL NOT SHY FROM IT]
He might get annoyed if you look too long - but he might not even realize.
[because he is. a moron.]
Anyway, you could have worse teachers than him. The blond guy with the curly eyebrow seems to be a sucker for girls, and knows his way around the kitchen, too.
[Hmmm. Hopefully they'll get some better clothes soon so that Flayn can truly appreciate Kara's hotness.
Anyway -]
Ah, is he? The one who was looking for his tiger, correct? [Hmmm...] Oh... the other one, with the long hair who was talking about how he was not in the place with the demons. He told me he was a chef, as well.
Oh - Taako...? Maybe? I heard that he stole some knives at the boat, so that he could cook. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some, but I need to check.
You could probably ask any of them to teach you, too. I'd offer, but I'm not skilled enough to be confident in instruction.

she isn't having much success. she makes a soft, annoyed sound in the back of her throat as she looks up.]
No, I—
[wait.]
Lili? Did someone hurt you?
no subject
[she's already forgotten about the cut - but her hand will come up to her cheek and she'll shake her head]
No, we tried to pry open the window with a knife and it shot back at us. No one tried to attack me or anything.
no subject
[Yikes! That's a yikes. Flayn is glad to that she didn't get attacked, at least.]
...with the knives having gone missing from the kitchen, I was worried. But I am glad to hear that is all it was.
no subject
[she's just too honest]
It just would've been annoying to try to cook without any knives.
no subject
Well.

no subject
I know where five of them are, including yours and mine... and... oddly, no.
I'd say maybe a little over half probably took them for reasons similar to us. [a beat] I didn't know you cooked, though.
no subject
That is a relief. ...I bet if we tried, we could discover where the others have gotten to.
[A-hunting they shall go... for knives.]
...I am not an especially talented chef. [She's terrible at it, really.] But... it is better if I prepare my own food.
no subject
[better to be safe than sorry!

no subject
Perhaps I will ask both him and the man with the eyebrows to teach me. If nothing else, it may help us discover whether or not they have knives.
no subject
[info AND flayn not having to eat goop]
What do you like to eat anyway?
no subject
[A pause.]
...separately, of course!
no subject
Oh, I love seafood!
I can show you the Water Tribe's specialty if I can get ingredients!

Really..?!

[curse her enthusiasm. she almost forgot she swore she wouldn't eat anything she didn't prepare with her own two hands
but she really wants to try it
oh, this is hard.]
no subject
gets lili to laugh a little]
What's that face for?
We'll prepare it together. You'll know where my hands are at all times - not that I'd ever do anything to put you at risk anyway.
But you don't need to break your rule for me.
