[ they could go on a tour but they'd have to hop back and forth from the hotel every time and that sounds exhausting. so. claude can find yuri by the rotating doors, looking like he's about to go through. ]

Planning on exploring?

[shaft]

[ he waves, looking curious. ]

Yeah, might as well see what adventure awaits, right?

[ashenvaliant]

I can promise you this much — it’ll be much quieter than it was when we were there with the UWU gone.

[shaft]

... I don't think that's a bad thing.

[ashenvaliant]

It's not. [ ♡ ]

There's nothing wrong with the station itself. It was... just that thing. And the murder.

[shaft]

[ dryly, ] I'd say most of these places are fine without the murder.

Where did you usually spend your time?

[ashenvaliant]

[ a smile. ]

A lot of places. Spa included. I'll do your nails, if you want.

Otherwise... there's a beach, a small garden, an abandoned city, eery woods, and the usual recreational area, a casino-- oh and an airport terminal?

[shaft]

What would you do to my nails...?

[ashenvaliant]

Rip them off for your crimes.

[ …. ]

Paint them, Claude. What else? This place has things for manicures too.

[shaft]

I don't know, Yuri. Perhaps you had nefarious intentions!

Are you any good at it?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he holds up his own hand. ]

You tell me.

[shaft]

... That's pretty nice, Yuri.

[ashenvaliant]

[ boops his nose with a well manicured hand. ]

You should have a little faith in me.

[shaft]

I have plenty of faith. You've never failed to impress.

[ashenvaliant]

Then you should tell me your favourite colour and follow me.

[ is it yellow. ]

[shaft]

[ follows him ]

Hmm. I'm not sure I have a favourite. But I do like deep purple and gold.

[ashenvaliant]

We can do deep purple and gold -- that would be a nice combination actually.

[ hm. ]

If you like those more than others, those probably are your favourite.

[shaft]

I also like blue and bright green...

[ hehe ]

It's hard to choose just one.

[ashenvaliant]

Ah, so you're indecisive, that's the trouble.

[shaft]

I prefer to frame it as that I can see the beauty in all things.

What's your favourite colour then?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he just smiles. ]

Guess.

[shaft]

Hmm. [ takes a lock of Yuri's hair between his fingers ] I thought it might be something surprising like orange.

[ashenvaliant]

Got it in one.

[ he may twirl the hair, yuri doesn't pull away. ] Very clever of you. Very observant.

[shaft]

I have a way with reading people.

[ smiles! he will let his hair go ]

[ashenvaliant]

Yes, I can see. A real talent, that.
