// there there. at least you know it's not a real person reading through it lol

Always one to go on a tangent, he was. And who knew if any of what he said was helpful, or if it would make matters worse.

But it was how he truthfully felt.

And your eyes burn like the sun. Perhaps red due to the influence of the Abyss, but the color and intensity remind me of the red kuuvahki from Nothing Passage - a both magnetic and addicting force. For a creature who resonates with blue kuuvahki, I am as a moth drawn to a flame."

the mirror, constantly assessing him for a reaction.

"Therefore, I am unsure if what I'm about to say will make you feel better or worse... but at the very least, it's rooted in truth.

I find your appearance rather alluring. Your snowy-white hair is a callback to my motherland.

in, then. I might not know how you looked before, but I can imagine it was rather different from your appearance now.

This is a struggle I can not relate to. My corporeal form is a projection. If there's something about it I dislike, I can change it on a whim."

Kyryll watched Rerir through

Something told Kyryll that, much like the matter of his name, Rerir was tired of change and wished to own who he already was.

Instead of saying what Kyryll believed he would like to hear to console him, the fae knew that the only good answer was a truthful one.

"This must be difficult to take

It was his perfect disguise that he'd grown quite attached to. Flins was less and less of a mask he wore every day, and more and more a genuine person like anyone else.

Kyryll then looked to Rerir through the mirror's reflection.

// i am hearing you out please tell me your ideas <3

ALSO THOUGHTS ABOUT RERFLINSVARKA OT3...

// if you write this AU with me i will actually be your best friend forever

// I JUST THINKKKK it would be super cute and really spooky at first like even if you know it's flins he's gotta be scary!!! and maybe he instinctively kills the players bc they're a nuisance until he realizes varka is a special case....... golden retriever energy with a genuine interest in him

// imagine if rerir is like his evil rival who goes out and kills all the players and flins is just like hey i want to leave this game i got trapped in can you stop being angry for 1 sec pls...

varka ends up successfully bringing flins out from within the game at the end though

// i thought some mond chars that weren't knights could be fun like rosaria but maybe it's just like kaeya and mika for the drama

anyway varka hears his name called one time and is like huh. when did they patch in player interactions? that's some cool tech

flins is the ghost ofc

// what do you MEAN varka was laughing at flins posing in the cardboard cutout UGHHHHHHHHH UGHHhhhfRJHDB

// it does not fare well for me because it really looks like they're on a festival date and that's the ONLY time flins showed up in the livestream. so i'm gonna die probably

// hahaha, i hope you have fun!

Kyryll took a step towards Rerir, golden eyes locked onto magenta as he studied the man directly before him.

"Does that answer your question? Or are you looking for an opinion, as well?"

one would be provided.

"Like what? Tall? Wrapped in bandages? Yes, I'd say so." The fae tilted his head to the side, the smallest of smiles tugging at his lips. "Although, I suppose there have been some changes since our little excursion to Nothing Passage. Your scarring has reduced."
