POST CANON TRIPS WITH FLYNN: For bravestknight

[guildtrips]

[The world after Blastia was never going to be an easy one, of course. They had all committed to it, knowing very well there would be people cursing their names, with bitter hatred and spite. Even with the combined efforts of the whole world working together - Empire, Guilds and Aspio alike - there would be people who were angry.

And willing to use whatever they could to get back at the Empire and Guilds. Including Giganto monsters, apparently. Yuri shifts on his feet, sword at the ready as he watches the movements of the guards in the valley below. Somehow, this rogue group had managed to capture a Giganto to launch against Dahngrest and Zaphias. Whatever was the first target didn't matter.

Yuri and the rest of Brave Vesperia were here to stop it. And apparently, so was the Flynn brigade. He glances over at Flynn]

The Empire must be feeling really antsy about this if they've sent the Commandant himself to help deal with this group.

[A few years ago, there might have been barbed edges in there. But now, it was just warm amusement at the absurdity of it all. He should have known Flynn wouldn't be content to sit behind his desk while sending out his best knights to deal with this]

What were they calling themselves again?

Comments

[guildtrips]

Man, why do I have a feeling there's a bunch of people who wouldn't be able to wait to use it on me.

[Anyway, so Flynn doesn't get any ideas to tease him with, Yuri nudges Flynn lightly and points ]

Judy and the boss should be back there, waiting for us. I think they bad a fun time raiding those labs.

[bravestknight]

That sounds very different. Is there someone I need to be worried about?

[He still going to tease him. He looks at Yuri and nods as he turns going that way.]

Let's go meet them and make sure that everything is completely wrapped up.

[guildtrips]

It depends on if you like the idea of me being locked up by other people--

[Time to cut themselves off though. There are some jokes that are not meant for Karol's innocent ears. Yuri nods, waving them over as he drags along their prisoners to an excited looking Karol. It looked like Judy and Karol had a lot more excitement than them, judging by the monsters everywhere]

We've got prisoners for delivery. Your next command, boss?

["Yuri! Flynn! You did it!" Karol grins, then straightens up, coughing as he tries to summon some boss-like energy. "Um. I guess they can go on the ship. I don't think Judy and Ba'ul would mind...Harry Whitehorse said we just need to deliver them to the cells and Altosk would take it from there."]

[bravestknight]

[Flynn clears his own throat and chuckles as he brushes past Yuri, giving him a meaningful glance. He goes to check on the monsters and make sure that they are all dead before he turns and looks to Yuri after he got the commands from his boss.]

So, let's go back to Dhangrest. I'll send a report back to His Highness Ioder when we arrive.

[guildtrips]

Don't leave me hanging just because you had to chase after some work. [Because that would be rude] Come on, lets hitch a ride. The Giganto isn't anywhere nearby now.

[ Is Yuri a little pouty they missed out on a good fight? Maybe. He waves Flynn to follow as he drags the prisoners onto the ship, tying them to the pole and settling in for what would be a very quick ride back.]

[bravestknight]

Right, right. I promise I won't leave you alone too long. You still live in the same area, when you go to Dhangrest, hm?

[Flynn plans on staying with him anyway. He brushes past Yuri and gives him a meaningful, small tender smile as he goes to check on the prisoners and get them settled.]

[guildtrips]

Yeah, yeah. [Sulky!! ] Brave Vesperia Headquarters are still where you last saw us.

[ Not much has changed at all. They needed to be at the center of guilds so new recruits could find them and missions could be picked up easily]

[bravestknight]

[It's only a few moments before Flynn ends up coming back out to move towards Yuri, tapping his shoulder with his knuckles.]

So, I can share your room?

[He lowers his voice so only Yuri can hear.]

--and your bed?

[guildtrips]

[Yuri's annoyance vanishes in instant and he glances back, heat in his gaze. He brushes his fingers against Flynn's, smiling]

Hm. If you're not going to complain about the tight fit...there might be room.

[bravestknight]

I doubt we will have time to really complain about anything.

[Flynn tangles their fingers together and holds his hand quietly as they fall into a nice simple, comfortable, silence.]

[guildtrips]

Mm. I don't plan on giving you any extra time for that.

[ It's quiet and comfortable as they fly over the city of the guilds, landing just at the outskirts. He sighs, forcing himself to move away from Flynn as Ba'ul descends. They'll have time later, Yuri tells himself]

See you in a bit? We'll drop off the prisoners, then get back around to our headquarters.

[bravestknight]

It shouldn't take too long for me to send a message. Promise.

[After all, this had been partially an excuse to take some time off and spend time with Yuri. Ioder had given him a knowing look when he left, and he knew he at least had to send an update.

Thankfully, because the knights and guilds were getting along a little better it was easier for Flynn to find a small group of knights. Seeing the commandant, they had been more than eager to give him their small outpost there to write a letter and one of the men to deliver it.]

That went deceptively easy.

[It was time to go see Yuri.]

[guildtrips]

[ The drop off goes smoothly. No one had forgotten each other's roles in the defeat of the Adephagos and that gave them a significant amount of leeway. They all return to their headquarters, with Judith disappearing soon after - probably to shake down some suckers in poker, Yuri thinks with wry amusement. Karol returns to his room, muttering something about new recruits and Yuri figures that leaves dinner to him.

He can whip up something nice for all of them]

[bravestknight]

[It was just about an hour later that Flynn appears at the guild head quarters and lets himself in. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, he can smell the food and immediately he realizes how hungry he actually was. He calls out]

Yuri?

[guildtrips]

[Flynn gets a welcoming bark from Repede, who trots up faithfully to the front door as Yuri continues to finish dinner. Calling out from the small kitchen--]

In here--hope you don't mind some Beef Stew for dinner.

[Like Yuri didn't already know this was one of Flynn's favourites]

[bravestknight]

[Oh? Beef Stew. Flynn moves forward and smiles ruffling between his ears and moving with him towards the kitchen.]

I definitely don't mind Beef Stew for dinner.

[No one aside from them and Repede are there, so he quietly steps in close behind Yuri, wrapping his arms around his waist, lifting his hair with his right hand and kissing the side of his neck. He does that only for a few moments before he steps away.]

I told you I'd be here quickly.

[guildtrips]

[Yuri doesn't startle. He's far too aware of Flynn's presence at all times to be surprised by that. But despite every ounce of sense in him, he goes a little pink and shoots Flynn a tiny sulky look for escaping before he could take his revenge. Honestly]

Yeah, I know. You always keep your promises.

[He fetches a clean spoon from the drawers, dips it into the pot and holds it out for Flynn to try]

What do you think?

[bravestknight]

[Flynn leans over and takes the spoon into his mouth, humming as he leans back and swallows. He licks his lips and leans over to give Yuri a kiss on his cheek.]

It get's better every time you make it.

[guildtrips]

[why are you like this. Yuri recovers a little more easily this time and leans in to steal a kiss anyway. Honestly]

You're always like this. Go take a seat. I'm nearly done.

[bravestknight]

[Flynn smiles at him and moves to go settle down at the table.]

Sounds great. Are the others joining or did they go out and do other missions?

[guildtrips]

The boss will be down later. He's drowning in new recruit paper work. He said to save him a bowl.

[And Yuri was...just not very good at this kind of paperwork so he'll let the boss deal with that one. He pours some of the beef stew into three bowls, covering one up for later and he sets two of them down - one in front of Flynn and one just to the side of him. There's still some fresh bread so he sets that down with the food to share as well]

Judy is off on her own. She's probably going to make every casino cry and fold at this point.

[bravestknight]

Probably. They should know better than to let her come in and challenge, you would have thought they'd learn their lesson by now.

[Flynn goes about separating the bread for them to share and making sure to leave some for Karol. He smiled at Yuri and nodded as he relaxed and waited for Yuri to sit down before starting to eat.]

So, does that mean we have fewer people to hear us?

[guildtrips]

No one said they were smart.

[His gaze becomes a little heated as he meets Flynn's gaze. Yuri grins, dipping the bread into the stew as he takes a bite. ]

Hm. Are you planning on getting loud for me?

[bravestknight]

True. But you think they'd be money motivated at least.

[When Yuri asks that, Flynn had been taking a bite of stew, and he nearly chokes, coughing. His cheeks flush and he looks at Yuri.]

I think you want to kill me.

[guildtrips]

[ Hah. Yuri grins, leaning forward to rest his cheek against his palm]

I thought we were just sharing things we planned on after dinner.
