[Flayn is halfway to a sigh of relief when he does a double take and turns back around. He stands over her, no doubt in an attempt to intimidate her, but she will not cower. She nods.]
Indeed, Hubert, you do.
[He falls silent for a moment, and she watches him carefully for any sign of what he might be thinking. Would he attack her, in a place such as this? She doesn't think so...but then, she never did get to know Hubert much at all. Unlike the rest of his house, he rarely deigned to speak to anyone outside the Black Eagles, and when he did it was with an air of deliberate malice, of which she steered well clear.
Her brows lift, though, when he speaks again. That's nothing like what she expected to hear from him. She doesn't intend to tell him that Seteth is here too, of course, but...]
He is my father, actually. Claiming me as his sister was a ruse to preserve my safety. His concern was much appreciated, but such measures are unnecessary here.
[Her brow pinches a bit. He hasn't been hostile so far, so maybe it would be all right... Her expression softens a tad.]
As is any enmity that may have been between us back in Fodlan. I have come here not from there, but from another strange world called Avalon, where I dwelled for some time. Edelgard was there, as well, and she and I became quite close. I cherish her as a dear friend, and I have no wish to quarrel with you, either.
