[ She's grateful for his understanding, but-- ]

Shovel talk...?

[ Yuri takes a moment to think about this and then has a look of disbelief. ]

Shu, I'm not their child or anything...

[roseoftexas]

… Shovel talks aren’t just for parents to kids, y’know. Friends do them too.

[ friendship, yuri… ]

[applebough]

... Oh.

[ ...........

She looks off to the side. ]

I don't think you need to be told anything like that, for the record...

[ Shu has been nice to her. Like. Super nice. Such a gentleman even. Yuri thinks he doesn't need any "shovel talks" or anything for that matter. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ you learn something new every day. ]

I'm sure, but if they want to it's a sign they care more than anything.

[ get loved on yuri. ]

[applebough]

I... suppose.

[ Though it makes her smile a little. Being loved and cared for... ]

... I hope you can feel that too, to an extent.

[roseoftexas]

[ makes her a sign that says you are THIS loved and cared for but the THIS is giant. ]

Oh, no. You'll be treated nicely and I'll get ribbed endlessly and asked how I conned you into this.

[ friendship! ]

[applebough]

[ she's going to suffocate at this rate ]

Conned me into what? Liking you? Being liked? Accepting that I'm liked?

[ She laughs a little. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ smothered by affection. ]

The liking me part. I'm pretty that's how they'd show their affection.

[ nerds. ]

[applebough]

... I can choose for myself.

[ Huffs. Yuri wishes to be treated as something other than a cinnamon roll. ]

[roseoftexas]

I wouldn't worry about it. They'd just be doing it to make fun of me.

[ friend! ship! ]

[applebough]

I'm sure you can take that easily, Shu.

[ So many people think he's the calm pillar of the group... ]

And besides... it's not such a bad thing.

[roseoftexas]

[ he is just vibing in a manner than suggests he has accepted death but doesn't necessarily want it. ]

I'm pretty used to how they work now. I'd be more concerned if they didn't mess with me.

[applebough]

Perhaps that's just the kind of people you tend to attract...

[ me, personally: yeah ]

[roseoftexas]

[ hmmm? ]

Does that mean you'll be bullying me soon? [ he's never been bullied in his life. ]

[applebough]

... I don't think I can ever do that.

[ She bullies Blade just fine though. ]

[roseoftexas]

I wouldn't be mad about it.

[ she's free to be as nice or as mean to him as she wants. ]

[applebough]

... Would anyone doing that get you mad about it?

[ be real. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ ... ]

Maybe one or two people. Helvetica might just be being mean, and-- [ well. the other is yang, so he shrugs. ] I don't think the other would have the gall to actually try and push my buttons.

[applebough]

[ She gives his arm a little squeeze. ]

But they're not here right now, so... you can rest easy.

[ Hehe. ]

[roseoftexas]

Mm, I can give as good as I get with Helvetica though.

[ this is the important part. ]

[applebough]

Do you two argue often?

[ Time to find out more about Shu's... coworkers(???). ]

[roseoftexas]

About as much as anyone who works our kind of side job would argue.

[ it's not too bad though. ]

He's one of those sly types, so getting one up on him's fun.

[applebough]

[ Yuri tries to think of a sly type... and then she just looks at Shu.

... ]

[roseoftexas]

[ looks back at her. ]

[applebough]

... I think you two would be similar in... some aspects.

[ That's all Yuri will say about it. ]
