[though the hands may have left his cheeks, his own remain firmly on yuri's back. providing support like this, irksome as it is that someone isn't capable of sitting up on their own, isn't a big deal. if anything, it adds to the normalcy of a situation that is decidedly outside the norm for them.
consorting with a criminal? that sounds so illicit. if it really were with a criminal, flynn wouldn't have allowed associations as willingly and definitely not those of the more intimate variety. the person easily could use a relationship to manipulate the commandant to their whims. this criminal, however, is one known since age 7. maybe yuri would tease-- no, he would tease about seducing flynn and bending the knights to his whim, but never mean it past a joke.]
Because I already don't consort with you enough as is.
[that comes out in a very matter of fact tone. really, they do hang out a lot, especially recently. they've spent more time around the other in recent weeks then they have in a long time. sure, fights and bickering happen frequently enough, but so do moments of pleasantness and fun. taking it one step further... it doesn't feel like something that'd change what they already have.
not changing anything might hold the most appeal. with yuri, no need to be anything but himself exists. everyone else back home expects perfection. nobles and others desire the status or something akin to a family or the perfect knight lover, all of which require more the commandant rather than the person. none of that matters with yuri. on more than one occasion, being told to knock off the perfect act did happen. factor in the mutual feeling of comfort with the other and attempting something more intimate doesn't have the worst ring to it. flynn pauses briefly before speaking again.]
Doing so more often and adding this aspect to it, well, I can't say I'd be opposed to it. [flynn 'they don't teach us to woo at knight school' scifo, ladies and gentlemen.]
