I'm going to speak with Jaguar. I know what you want the next move to be, but I need to try speaking to them first. He's the one in charge of our "guild," after all.
[Part of him wants that to be true, for Flynn's sake if nothing else. Yes, he'll be willing to step in if he has to, but the truth is—what he suspects Flynn doesn't get—is that he doesn't want to be necessary. He wants Flynn's version of the world to be reality. The tone of his voice reveals just how likely he thinks that is, though.]
Sure would be nice if they let us in on what they hell they were thinking.
[He's learned through knight training that information tends to be given on a need-to-know basis, to keep everyone focused on the task at hand. But in more recent cases, information was kept hidden for the sake of someone being able to pull the strings from afar. To keep everyone in the dark about their true actions.
And that's what Yuri thinks is happening here too. Maybe he's still a little raw from the betrayal, but if he lets himself get too bitter about it, he doesn't know if he'd ever let go of that bitterness.]
...All I can do is ask. I'll let you know what I find out, as soon as I do.
Are you sure you want to waltz in there on your own?
[It's not like Flynn can't take care of himself, and maybe in some ways this is something he feels he needs to do after what happened back home, but still. This isn't home, and they have no idea how these coterie leaders might react to them.]
We know that they're leaders. People must have trusted them at one point for a reason. They wouldn't have that kind of trust placed in them if all they did was attack people.
People put their trust in plenty of leaders who end up corrupt. Even if they deserved it once, that doesn't mean they deserve it now, and it doesn't mean you should bet your safety on it.
[Flynn thinks it over- why would Yuri want to accompany him this badly? He knows he can handle himself. Ah. It must be that Yuri wants to speak with them as well.]
I get it. You'll speak with them after I do, is that it? In that case, catch up with me. I'll hold off until you're here.

[Probably for the best Yuri can't see him- he looks like all the wind's been taken out of his sails.]
Guilds with no Union, and leaders with no written law to hold them accountable against. That's what you're saying the situation is?

This isn't Terca Lumereis. I'm not doing anything until we understand what's happening.
[Killing Viper could be way more trouble than its worth at this point. Who knows.]

Good. I... want this to be just a simple misunderstanding. Maybe there is a plan we don't know of. Maybe there's a punishment in place.
[Maybe he's just trying to blind himself again, as he does.]
