[ You're Flynn, she says, and some of the weight of it trickles coldly down Flynn's spine.
Well, you've grown up to be a model knight, Yuri had hissed at him in the blazing desert sun, his eyes full of anger too deep to root out or smooth over. Flynn remembers feeling out of his body then, watching everything happen with muted horror from three feet to the left of himself. Two deaths on his head, and he hasn't even told Yuri about those, he thinks, because shame clouds his tongue when he tries, and Olympia is looking at him like a savior in the darkness.
Flynn swallows back his protest. If she needs him to be a knightly prince from a story, then that's what he'll have to be, no matter how often he feels like a child wearing his father's armor and barely fitting into the cracks.
He smiles. In the darkness, it's a brittle thing. ]
I'm trying to be. That's all.
[ She can't see his face when he turns to pull the door open, all chivalry, and that's probably for the best, because Flynn doesn't feel at all in control of himself. He'll have to do better if they're going to get out of here in one piece. ]
