[there's a little flash of fire from under their hood at the first half.

he manages to tap what feels like a nose! and then:]

Sure. Sure, someday.

[aubins]

[ the fire-- doesn't make him jump. actually, the corners of his eyes crinkle a little. fondly, more than anything. ]

Someday.

[ well, they're this close now so he's just going to lean on them. it's fine. warm and cosy is good. ] I'm not a fan of forgetting people, so I can at least promise I'll remember this you, and the little things I'll learn.

Try not to make me write you in my book though.

[probe]

[oh, leaning is good. in fact, they shift to accommodate that, wrapping an arm around him. they're very warm.]

... Your book? [they sound curious.]

[aubins]

[ mm. leaning is good. and very warm is good. yuri's going to end up doing the purring cat thing if he's not careful here. ]

My book. For the people I lose, so they're not forgotten.

[ he's already talked about this once now. wrath can have a little lore as a treat. ]

[probe]

[maybe that's the goal!]

Ahh. [they bring a hand up to pet his hair absently?] I'm sorry. I can promise you I won't end up there, though.

[aubins]

[ it's working. yuri is leaning in closer. especially once the hair petting starts. ]

Ha. No one can.

[ mmm. ] You can at least try, though.

[probe]

[they'll just keep doing it, then.]

I can. I don't tend to make promises I can't keep. [...] And I promise you'll be gone before me. So you don't have to worry.

[aubins]

[ good. after a moment, yuri will crack open an eye to look up at them. ]

That'd be tough. I tend to worry, in my own way.

[ is now a good time to mention fire emblem's handwafty-ness on whether yuri is functionally immortal depending on which ending he gets? no? ]

Aww, you're worried about me?

[aubins]

[ i wish i was joking or that they expanded it enough for me to bring it up legitimately, but. fingerguns. fire emblem crest shenanigans. ]

Should I not be? Is your eight pack on fire keeping you protected?

[ he is grinning. it is soft and relaxed though. ]

[probe]

[fire emblem please.]

Obviously. [they tease.] It's the most devastating force in the universe.

[aubins]

[ stop i've been trying to explain how magic works all morning like ???? ]

Hopefully it'll live up to your claims.

[probe]

[a pause.]

Yeah, hopefully.

[aubins]

[ ... he'll give them a little rub to the back of the head, like he did before, at the bar. ]

You haven't disappointed this far.

[probe]

[they tilt into it.]

Hm, I don't want you to get the wrong impression. I'm incredibly attractive.

[aubins]

[ he just chuckles. ]

I don't doubt that for a moment. Confidence is always attractive too.
