[ Sasuke has already been trying to reconsider what it is he's feeling about his friends for the last few months before he arrived here. He'd just started to really accept his feelings for what they were before he got here, but he hardly knows what it is that his friends feel for him in return. Naruto was always predictable, it didn't matter how long they'd gone without seeing each other or what Sasuke did, he'd always be his friend. But Sakura...

Oof. It feels like a weight dropped into the pit of his stomach just thinking about it. Even the vibes of the party aren't enough to stop his smile from faltering and he swallows roughly to try and get the dryness out of his throat. Being in love is hard enough. After the curse on his family and the way love drove them slowly insane, it's hard to believe that he'll ever get to truly consider his feelings at all. ]


Mm. Yeah.

[ That sure is... a response. He realizes it too and he closes his eyes for a second to try and push away whatever those emotions were that had gotten dragged up by such simple and purely intended advice. ]

... I'm going to get a drink. Did you want anything? Or should I leave you to enjoy the pillows some more?

[ Ah.

It's hard not to catch that, and guilt sweeps quickly through Flynn, though he manages to shove it down and offer Sasuke a small smile as he shifts up into a proper sitting position again.

Flynn recognizes a tactical retreat when he sees one, and he isn't about to deny Sasuke his, no matter how much he wants to press.

I believe I'll rest here for a while. Thank you, though. Despite what you think, it's... very nice to talk to you.

[ That is surprising and it's clear from the look that crosses his face for a moment. It's replaced by a slightly easier smile, his head ducking with a something akin to bashfulness. ]

Maybe we can do it again sometime. Enjoy your rest, Flynn.

[ He gives him a slight bow of his head in parting before he disappears into the crowds of people to go and get that drink. ]
