[ Yuri will just look closer at the drawings for a moment, because when investigating things people are supposed to examine everything, right?

Following that, he'll pick up the batting from that last drawer, and squint at it too. He might unroll it by accident and try to roll it back up. Smooth. ]

[andexecutioner]

[The drawings seem to be of people, actually - namely, those that have died here. Looks like he's taking particular interest in them for some reason; god only knows why. Maybe he's just morbid like that, who knows- ]

...You having fun?

[...Aaaaand it looks like you're not alone anymore, Yuri; his voice can be heard while you're rolling up the batting again like a champion. He doesn't sound mad or anything, just kind of blank; he's leaning up against the doorframe, watching.

Hi.]

[hesperos]

[ That probably makes him sober up a little. He doesn't know why Juri would take so much interest in the dead, though. Is it because Juri really does eat souls?!

... Okay, probably not-- but then there's Juri's calm voice cutting on through and he stands up straight. For some reason he hides the batting behind his back, before he realizes that's ridiculous and just. Sets it down back into the drawer. ]

Yeah. A lot of fun until you walked in.

[ PAUSE... ]

So, this is awkward. How much trouble am I in exactly?

[andexecutioner]

[He folds his arms across his chest at that, though the gesture is more casual than confrontational. Just something to do with himself.]

You're not. There's no hard rules against going through my stuff; Rule Four technically encourages it.

[hesperos]

Right, rule four. I remember that one.

[ He rubs the back of his head, recalling the rules list vaguely. Then he just moves to stand nearby the bookcase, and now that he thinks about it, he's got a question to ask the guy. He doubts he'll get something satisfactory, but-- ]

... So, why're you drawing pictures of the dead anyways?

Is it out of boredom, or...

[andexecutioner]

[Oh, that.]

I'm not too interested in forgetting them or acting like they were never here. That's disrespectful.

[hesperos]

[ He was probably reaching for a book, and the words caught him afterwards to look back at the guy, a little perturbed.

Disrespectful? Yuri thought Juri derived some sort of secret amusement from this and, well. ]

... Even if you didn't know them? Even if they tried to kill you?

[ ... ]

So you just have respect for the dead in general?

[andexecutioner]

Not always. But the ones that have died here? They deserve to be respected like that.

[hesperos]

[ This is definitely not lining up with some things he assumed about the man. It makes him want to ask a few more questions-- but he doesn't know how to ask any "good" ones. ]

... Yeah, they do.

[ Yuri made sure he'd never forget those who died either, but once again this is still a surprising revelation for him. Nooot that he's still happy with Juri, considering. ]

So I guess I was wrong about you hating us and enjoying every second of this whole thing, huh?

[andexecutioner]

I like some of you guys more than others, just personally speaking.

Whether I hate you all is another thing, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this; I have to get my kicks somehow, even if this is generally just a job for me. It's nothing personal, but that doesn't mean I don't find ways to enjoy it if I can.

[hesperos]

...Right.

[ He weighs every bit of the man's words-- and of course he decidedly doesn't very much like his answer. He's not in the mood to linger here in his presence for long, either. ]

Well, I wasn't sure what I was expecting. Maybe it's a good thing you're so honest so I'll know what I'm dealing with.

[ He'll be moving towards the door... and well, probably by default nearby Juri because he's probably still leaning against the doorframe? ]

[andexecutioner]

[Indeed! He'll move, though; he's not too interested in being run into.]

Not much point in lying to you about things like that.
