[The camera turns on and Flynn is staring at someone off camera, frowning slightly before he looks back at the recording device. He opens his mouth to speak, then shuts it, and then finally he relaxes. He gives the camera a smile and a nod of acknowledgement]

I was told that this device can record me and put my words onto a network.

[Flynn gives a small wave.]

Consider this a practice round for me. I'm Flynn Scifo, and I hope to get along with everyone.

[He looks back over to whoever is off camera and cocks his head to the side.]

Is that good?

[The blond looks back at the camera and gives a sheepish grin.]

That's all for now. See you later.

[With that the video cuts off.]

[ A very lopsided little smile. ]

Take him somewhere for lunch?

[ Before it slips away, because Venti's earned the right to honesty. ]

I remember all of it now. [ His fingers curl in the material of the couch. ] We were inseparable until we were eighteen. And then we joined the Imperial Knights — something we'd dreamed of doing as kids. Thought we'd... get to protect people that way. Be a force for good.

[ Beat. ]

As you might've guessed from all the past-tense, it didn't really work out that way. Foot soldiers don't get to choose who they protect. Who they police.

I lasted all of three months before I couldn't take it anymore. And we had the biggest fight. [ Huffs out a breath. ] More accurate to say we'd been fighting, I guess, for weeks at that point. But this was the blowout. The one where we both said the kind of thing you can't just apologize for.
