[ She smiles a little with her hand over his. ]

I'm sorry to have worried you... but I made it. I'm happy about that.

[roseoftexas]

[ pfffffffffffffffffaaaaa. he just bumps his chin on the top of her head and stays there. sigh. ]

I think you scared a lot of people.

[ ... ] But yeah. You did, even with-- everything being the way it was. Welcome back.

[applebough]

... I'm back!

[ Just those two words has Yuri reeling with so much emotions, mostly of happiness. She even gives Shu a hug. It's not a tight hug, but a hug nonetheless. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ oof. ("it's not a tight hug") oof.

still, he'll give her a moment and then wrap his arm around her to return the hug. ]

Let's not do that again. [ FOR A MOMENT THERE THERE WERE LIKE FOUR BODIES. AAAA. ]

[applebough]

[ Look she just died and almost died again?? Cut her some slack. ]

I'm sure if there was the option to, we wouldn't do this again...

[ but ahhhh her hug is returned!! Feels great. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ no ]

Specifically the part where you turned into a giant firebird and got thrown around by a dragon.

[ what did they even watch. he hated it. the hug continues to be returned. ]

[applebough]

Haha... Turning into a bird was really disorienting. I could even control fire. It was a fascinating experience, but I wouldn't do it again.

[ She tilts her head up, which means if Shu's chin is still on top of her head, his neck is basically outstretching lmao ]

[roseoftexas]

[ SHE DIED AND NEARLY DIED AGAIN no more fire birds. shu's head probably gets tilted too. this is a very funny mental image. ]

Yeah, don't. It being a once in a lifetime experience seems pretty good to me.

[ he'll lift his chin off her head after a moment so they're not getting neckstrain over here, and looks down at her. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri gives Shu a small smile when he looks down at her. ]

... Having a hug returned feels nice.

[ hehe.

Ignoring how their faces are kinda close aaaaaaa ]

[roseoftexas]

Doesn't happen often back home?

[ hello. he does not move. ]

[applebough]

[ audiencelaughtrack.mp3 ]

... Definitely not home.

[roseoftexas]

...

[ hahhaa ]

From what you've told me, that makes sense.

[applebough]

But that's alright, because I feel incredibly spoiled right now...

[ She giggles a little. ]

[roseoftexas]

Getting enough on the ship to make up for it?

[applebough]

... Yes. I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

[roseoftexas]

[ hmmmm. ]

Good.

That’s more motivation to keep yourself safe, though. [ he lifts a hand to tap against the side of her head. ]

[applebough]

That's right... I wouldn't want to worry people more than necessary.

[ The hand tap on her head is something Yuri has gotten used to, and something she labeled as some sort of physical affection.

... She really feels lucky. ]

Sorry, but could I go sit on the cot?

[ She would like to sit even though this hug is nice. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ oh right she was dead like an hour ago. shu will let her slip out of the hug. ]

Yeah? You don't need to apologise for wanting to lie down.

[ go sit, go sit. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri goes to sit. Phew. ]

... For the record, I... don't have any special skills like magic or enhancements. I used to use them in my old job, but it came with the equipment to deal with the Abnormalities.

[roseoftexas]

Me neither.

[ he'll sit next to her. ]

I assumed it was a sim room thing. We know we can get injured in there, despite it not being real.

[applebough]

It seems inconsistent sometimes, such as what happened with the first investigation.

[ What is real, what isn't. Who knows. ]

[roseoftexas]

But not last week, or this week-- I guess there's a setting. If you're in there to execute someone, then all safety measures are all.

[ scary ]

[applebough]

To be fair, the simulation room was overloaded today...

[ They said she could be anything so she turned into a fire bird. ]

It's a little ironic that the safety measures aren't in place when we actually need them...

[roseoftexas]

[ she really did haki this is the best thing you could've done and i love it. ]

There's probably a reason for that.

[ like they want them dead. ]

[applebough]

[ hell yeah ]

... Right.

[ There's a bit of silence before Yuri just... tilts a little so that the side of her head rests on Shu's shoulder. (it isn't affection week yet) YEAH ]
