[Mikleo can understand what it means for Flynn to openly admit this to him. It's clear to him that the knight respects the laws and tries to uphold them in both letter and spirit. To say that sometimes it's necessary to break them isn't an easy conclusion for him to reach.]
Indeed. They're burdens to bear, but we have to take care that they don't become an obsession or drag us down.
[He gives the older man a small smile.]
I know you won't believe it, but I think you're a very respectable knight, if not a capable leader. I can't tell you that you're never going to stop struggling with that question because that'd be a lie. However, I can say that I have complete faith that you'll make the best possible choice.
[For a moment, the water seraph pauses.]
But, I'm going to guess that part of your argument with Yuri involved your differences in what justice is?
[hearing that manages to get an actual, genuine smile out of flynn. the last few days have been plagued with so much uncertainty and someone being so sure of him is nice to hear. maybe he doesn't believe it, just mikleo said, but maybe one day he will. one day.]
Thank you, Mikleo, your words mean a great deal to hear.
[he gives a small nod at the question. a good portion of their arguments tend to somehow involve justice and lawbreaking, especially lately. it's... not been fun. flynn's too rigid with the law; yuri's too loose. that leads to bad clashing sometimes.]
Part of it, yes. It's something we've been unable to see eye to eye for some time. Our fight had less to do with it than normal, but it was still an underlying factor.
