[he will in fact come sit with her! the vibes coming from him are largely calm, with maybe a little twinge of something else as he takes a seat with his own food.]
[ It really does, which eventually grows into concern. It's like trying to address the elephant in the room, except that Yuri doesn't know what the elephant is and Gregor is probably getting stomped on like an actual roach in trying to hide it. ]
Yes. I'm very glad to have him as my roommate.
[ As opposed to... some people. ]
He's very considerate too, though we talked about who should sleep on the bed...
[ Her voice trails off, because the concern only grows the more she lets it sit. ]
Is something the matter, Gregor? You didn't get into trouble with the senior crew members, did you...?
[ Yuri eats some of her food, still looking over at Gregor, but doesn't say anything else. Eventually, Gregor will hear a thought, "I wonder if they'll get in trouble if I don't return with them. I'd be effectively deserting my office, after all..."
there's a brief thought of his own, after a moment of silence. 'they won't be expecting-'
gregor hurriedly swallows the bite he was working on so he can speak.]
-say, one of the officers mentioned something interesting. Said they could send us right back to the time we got yanked from, like we're not missing at all.
Well, she's honestly not surprised that people wouldn't be expecting her to return due to the low expectations that she most people have of her, but there's something really weird about it. She wouldn't think Gregor would really say that to her face or even remotely mean it.
Well. She hopes he wouldn't. There's a bit of gloominess that sets in. ]
"Back to the time we got yanked from"...? Did they use something like a singularity on us?
[ Yuri takes another quiet bite out of her food, seemingly lost in thought. They don't get relayed verbally and she seems a little pensive about it, if anything. ]
Would Limbus Company fault me if I chose not to go back? I think we were close to the end of the mission, so I think I did what I could already...
[ Sure, she's nice about sparing him verbally, but the emotion sharing basically does it instead by giving off the indignant feelings of "I saw what you went through, Gregor. What home do you mean?" but she definitely won't say that out loud. She knows it's rude and that Gregor went through a lot. ]
Gregor, what was the last thing you remember before waking up on the ship?
[ Now Yuri's the one feeling a bit guilty. Their first mission, and she was the one who had to be their responsible guide through it all. There were things out of her control and the feeling of being dead weight had never left her. ]
[ Yuri is quiet after that. Perhaps that verbal answer was satisfying enough for her. Or perhaps she heard a stray thought due to the nanites.
There's an apple on Yuri's tray and looking at it makes her pensive. There is slight shock, but if she thinks about it, there shouldn't have been any surprise that things ended up that way.
And she finally speaks up. ]
Thank you. It still means a lot to me. Just the sentiment of it, even if it couldn't be approved for whatever reason... I was happy. I'm still happy about it. A place to go back to... I wanted one. I really did.

Say, you're rooming with that Shoma kid, right?
no subject
Yes. He's a nice kid.
no subject
[he's doing his level best to keep his emotions in check, but that effort probably shows in them, too.]

no subject
[he manages what he intends to be a reassuring smile, but-- well, he's not an accomplished actor. it's not helping.]
I think I'm just... still adjusting to being in space.

no subject
[but why does that answer come with a sense of sadness.]
no subject
Did you want me to go back?
no subject
he doesn't realize she hears it, though.]
It's not any better of an opportunity than that Office of yours. This, though, getting out of the City... could be a pretty good way to go, y'know?
no subject
Yes, that's what I thought as well. It's just... there are contradicting emotions that keep coming from you, so I'm not sure what to really think.
no subject
[definitely that!
she is so nice for not calling him out on how bad he is at this.]
no subject
Gregor, what was the last thing you remember before waking up on the ship?
no subject
[he's quiet a few moments, eyes downcast as he takes a bite of his food.
well, he can say this much without telling her what happened.]
We were on a different mission. Been in K's Nest for a bit.
no subject
I see... so it's some time after the mission in the old L Corp... did you succeed?
no subject
[he's struggling to keep the bad vibes in check, thinking about it. it isn't working; guilt mixes in.]
no subject
[ She thought Gregor would have talked about it like a regular mission, but why is there guilt? She doesn't understand. ]
Gregor, you... really don't want to talk about it that much?
no subject
[especially when it comes to the details.]
no subject
[ Now Yuri's the one feeling a bit guilty. Their first mission, and she was the one who had to be their responsible guide through it all. There were things out of her control and the feeling of being dead weight had never left her. ]
no subject
[they could have tried. at the very least-
'the least we could've done was get her out alive, and we didn't even-']
You didn't do anything wrong.

[ Her voice softens even more. ]
Did the apple Abnormality kill me?
no subject
[shock ripples through the emotional feedback, guilt once again bleeding through. did he think it too loudly-? or can she just guess?
...either way, his reaction must give the answer away to begin with, and he closes his eyes for a moment.]
...you went up to it with me when it stopped moving. And when it attacked-
We weren't fast enough.
['i wasn't fast enough.' he only managed to save himself.]
