Episode: 4 Old Habits die hard
Early morning at the Inn Estelle and Rita's room
...Rita sat on her bed, still in her bed clothes pondering on something.
"Rita Whats wrong" Estelle asked noticing her troubled expression.
Rita looked up at Estelle "Oh its nothing" Rita answered then got off of her bed.
"Hmmm" Estelle watched Rita as she grabbed a change of clothes "Somethings not right"
Outside Flynn Yuri and Duke
"So we're taking a boat right" Duke asked once again hoping for a real answer.
Yuri scratched the back of his head "um Probably"
Yuri replied causing both Flynn and Duke to raise a Eyebrow.
"Probably!"
Flynn then chuckled "Your not seriously saying you don't know, are you?"
Flynn asked slightly panicked.
"What probablys not good enough for you" Yuri said also slightly panicked.
Flynn's Expression went Blank "No" Flynn said starting to get angry.
"well I'm not the party leader so how would i know" Yuri said.
"Eh?" Flynn questioned raising a eyebrow.
"Oh you didn't know." Duke said in a blank tone of voice.
"Wait then who's the leader?" Flynn asked.
"The Princess of course." Duke replied like it was obvious.
At that moment Estelle and Rita came out of the Inn.
"Why is the mage wearing a . . . .Dress."
Duke asked noticing the black and red Frilly dress Rita had on.
"Because she forgot to bring a change of clothes, and besides whats so wrong with it, you got a problem with it or something?" Estelle asked then be-gain to tightly hug Rita.
"You have a Lolita complex don't you" Duke replied then they started having a stare down
with sparks flying in between them.
"Why you" Estelle said getting angry.
Flynn grabbed Rita away from Estelles clutches and Yuri pulled Duke away from Estelle
"Okay that's enough you two" Yuri said holding onto Dukes Arm.
Duke snatched his arm away and scoffed "hmph."
Flynn sighed then face-palmed "You people need counseling."
After Sodia returned they all boarded the boat
". . . . . . ooh the breeze feels good" Rita said holding her hand in her hair.
Duke walked beside Rita and started to stare at her.
"Huh wh..what" Rita stuttered.
Duke continued to stare at her "Nothing" he then looked away.
Rita sighed "I Really don't get you some times" Rita gently grabbed some of Dukes
hair to attract his attention "Hey are you an Estelle-" she started.
Duke turned around "Hm?" at that moment the cabin door opened and Flynn came out panting.
"Ha.. ha.. i .. give up." Flynn collapsed on to the ground.
"Uh should we...?" Duke started.
"Leave him." Rita answered coldly.
Duke let out a light chuckle at her answer.
"Huh whats so funny..?" Rita asked.
". . . . Your a ... very . . .Interesting girl." Duke replied.
"Whats that supposed to mean" Rita mumbled while pouting.
"it means that he loooo-" Yuri started appearing out of nowhere.
"Shut up!" Duke said after he hit Yuri.
"Ow you don't need to hit me" Yuri said while rubbing his head.
"You don't need to go around spouting unnecessary nonsense" Duke replied.
"Gehehehe" Yuri laughed. "So what were you two talking about anyway "
Duke folded his arms then turned towards the ocean "Absolutely Nothing"
"Really" Yuri asked
"Really" Duke and Rita repeated simultaneously causing Yuri to raise a eyebrow
"Now i'm really curious" Yuri said with a Smirk on his face.
"Curiosity killed the cat Yuri" Flynn said while dusting of his clothes
"Yes buuut satisfaction brought it back" Yuri replied like he just made some amazing statement
"Well then allow me to put you out of your misery my sweet curious kitty"
Flynn unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Yuri
"Geh! You were serious!" Yuri started running
"Oh very" Flynn replied with a smile on his face and started chasing Yuri
"Are they. . . . .Fighting?" Duke asked
at that moment Estelle came out of the cabin and walked towards Duke In Rita
"Hey Rita"
"Hey Estelle" Rita replied
Estelle looked over at Flynn an Yuri then Tilted her head to the side "What are they. . ."
"Estelle don't look!" Rita yelled quickly covering Estelle's eyes
"Duke don't just stand there do some thing"
"But" Duke started.
Rita kicked Duke towards the two 'Friends' making him stumble.
Duke not wanting to touch either of the boys decided to use the hilt of
Dein nomos to knock Flynn off of Yuri. "Uck" Duke spat.
"My savior" Yuri said then tried to fist bump Duke.
"No" Duke said then backed up.
"Guess we got kinda carried away" Yuri laughed.
"Kinda?" Duke repeated and raised a eyebrow.
"I didn't expect Holy lance to only work on his clothes" Flynn said after getting off the ground.
"But i also didn't know you could cast Violent pain Yuri"
"Meh after watching Rita spam it, it kinda got stuck in my head "
Yuri answered while scratching his head. "Well I'm gonna go change"
"Please do" Duke said then pointed at Flynn "You to"
"Yes yes" Flynn answered
Inside the Cabin Flynn Yuri And P.O.V
Flynn entered the small junky room and saw Yuri slip on some shirt
"Hey Yuri what do you think about Duke" Flynn asked
Yuri turned around to face Flynn while using his left hand to hold his hair in a ponytail
"Well that was sudden, uh what does it matter" Yuri replied
"Well not too long ago he was our enemy, its just that you seem to have complete trust in him"
"Well he did save my life and help me giant feather smash adephagos" Yuri answered
"Giant feather smash?" Flynn Repeated then started laughing
"You know what i mean anyway, besides its not like he had a bad reasoning,
just his way of going about it might have been bad, ugh you got a bow"
Yuri asked tired of holding his hair
"Mmhm here" Flynn answered then pulled a bow off of his wrist
"You carry bows on your wrist?" Yuri questioned
"Do you want it or not?" Flynn asked.
"Yes i want it" Yuri answered then took the bow from Flynn
"Exactly how many of those things do you have on you"
"On my wrist or on me" Flynn answered with smirk on his face.
"that's disgusting" Yuri said.
Flynn took off his armor and the rags that used to be his clothes.
"Oh god there everywhere" Yuri yelled while sitting on one of the beds.
Flynn frowned at Yuri then shot him with a bow " There not everywhere "
"LALALA I CANT HEAR YOU ow!" Yuri started rubbing his head.
"Bang" Flynn said while pointing his index an middle finger at Yuri "Scoot over"
Flynn demanded.
"Wha- no you shot me with a bow " Yuri replied.
"Oh well" Flynn replied then laid down beside Yuri "I'm tired"
"I Don't care put some clothes on" Yuri Demanded then tried to get up but Flynn stopped him.
"Hey um sorry" Flynn said still holding Yuri's arm.
"Flynn..?" Yuri said then looked down at Flynn.
"Huh..? what am i . . . . . . . I should get dressed" Flynn Let go of
Yuri's arm then got up to get dressed.
"Flynn"
Outside of the cabin Duke Estelle and Rita P.O.V pimp mode activates
Duke slowly closed the cabin door then sighed "The Knight boy seemed distressed about something could it have been
Yuri's doing hmm although they have been arguing a lot i wonder what could have possibly made him act like 'that' "
Duke thought while sitting on the ground.
"Um mister Pantarei do you know where Flynn's at" Sodia asked.
"Her! of course it makes perfect sense she must have told him, son of b-"
"DUKE PANTAREI!" Sodia yelled interrupting him in the middle of his thoughts.
"WHAT!" Duke yelled back catching the girl off guard.
"W..We've docked and i was wondering where Flynn was" Sodia answered tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Crap i made her cry"Duke thought then got up and wiped away one of sodia's tears with his thumb "Sorry i shouldn't have yelled, Forgive me?" Duke asked.
"Wha no you don't have to apologize I'm sorry i yelled first anyway" Sodia said then bowed.
Rita who was talking to Estelle looked and saw the scene then decided to. . . . .intervene
"Weren't you going to check on Flynn and Yuri go do that" Rita said in a more demanding tone.
"Oh yeah excuse me" Sodia said then ran into the cabin.
"What was that about" Duke asked.
"i just noticed that she was dragging is all" Rita said while looking away from Duke.
"Jealous" Duke Asked smirking at Rita's shy act.
"What n.n..no of course not" Rita stuttered.
"You make it really hard for me to not want you" Duke mumbled causing Rita To go wide eyed.
"Wha" Rita practically yelled startling Estelle.
"lalala i said nothing" Duke song behaving like Yuri.
"But you" Rita started.
"Nothing at all" Duke said again with a hint of sadness in his voice.
at that moment Yuri Flynn and Sodia came out of the cabin.
"Never again will i go into that Stupid cabin" Yuri said sounding slightly annoyed.
"oh i had fun in there, well before Sodia came in" Flynn said jokingly.
" Flynn" Sodia stuttered eyes starting to tear up.
"Freaking crybaby" Duke thought while having a especially extended Blink.
Yuri Casually put his arm around Dukes shoulder "Yo Duke me you talk Now"
"Now?" Duke asked.
"Now" Yuri repeated.

"So. . . what?" Duke asked after nearly being forced into the Inn room.
"There's something wrong with Flynn" Yuri answered.
"And your just now noticing this" Duke replied jokingly.
"Why are you so smart mouthed with me"
"I'm a Lot of things with you Yuri" Duke answered while smirking.
Yuri face-palmed at Dukes answer causing the older man to chuckle .
"Jokes aside your telling me this why" Duke asked.
"I'm kinda worried" Yuri answered.
Duke stood still with a serious expression, but started to burst into a laughing fit
kicking and rolling around on the floor, realizing how incredibly out of character what he's
doing is Duke stopped laughing and got up and brushed his clothes off. "I..I I'm sorry"
"That hurt" Yuri answered.
"L..Lollipop" Duke said while holding out a lollipop.
"Apology accepted" Yuri said then pulled off the wrapper and started sucking on it.
"But if your worried about him, tell him" Duke said seriously.
"Naa i gotta find another way" Yuri replied.
"ha.. why do you. . . . huh. . ." Duke then Suddenly collapsed onto the Bed.
