Redgate's a hell lot nicer than Caer Scima, but I'm not the bookish type. That's more up your alley. [He didn't mind nosing around and chatting with citizens. But with the silver sickness cured, he's turning his sights back to what few leads he does have. And that means...]

I'm on my way to check out the situation in Leathann.

[He's just going to ignore that because wow excuse you, Yuri, books are half the reason his stupid ass is still alive. Probably. But his interests pique again.] Leathann's a good area to check just because of the trades down there. Lots of merchants, lots of action going on there...and the Void and everything. I haven't been down there since last summer.

How long are you planning on being out there anyway?

[Bingo. The Void was exactly why Yuri was heading there. Hearing about it was frightening and all, but he wants to see just how it's been affecting the world aside from being vaguely threatening.]

Beats me. [In a way, it feels like he's gone back to a point before Brave Vesperia's formation, when he first left Zaphias. He'd been someone drifting, lost. Unsure of his purpose or where to go. The Drabwurld was amazing, he can't deny that. But he can't say that he doesn't feel a little... small, maybe?

Yeah. Small was a good way to put it. But he's got to do what he's always done: keep his head up and feet firm on the path he's chosen.] I'll be staying however long it takes for me to be satisfied. Besides, I'm enjoying myself out here. You should tag along.

[There's a small huff of laughter.] Think you'll have to just take some really good notes for me. I'm...kinda supposed to stay back at the castle except for special circumstances. [Over the last two months, it's grown easier to tell people about the fact he has his deal with Jason. Doesn't make it any less embarrassing though.]

But I appreciate the offer and maybe someday I'll take you up on that. There's a few places you can go in Leathaan to explore and a few people you can talk to. It's still one of the cooler cities I've been to since showing up in the Drabwurld even if I didn't get to stay more than a week. [A beat.] I mostly wanna know about the Void. It wasn't as visible when I was down there.

["Special circumstances," huh...]

You do something to be grounded?

[Who knows? Maybe Hiro has his parents or something like them hanging around in the castle, making sure he doesn't cause too much trouble.]

Anyway, ask and you shall receive. I'll see what I can't dig up about it.

[Ahahaha...]

I traveled a lot. And...just didn't tell anybody where I was going most of the time. And kinda had questionable company. ....annnd almost got myself killed a few times? [That's putting it very, very lightly.] We're not related or anything but I'm also not in the mood to really piss him off if I break more rules and he finds out.

[Not that he's not finding baby loopholes, but regardless.] Anything you can find would be awesome. Maybe throw a rock into the Void and see what happens or something.

[Yuri can't help the short laugh that escapes him.]

Ooh, scary. Is he going to be all right with me joining your party of questionable friends?

Well now that depends. Are you at any time planning on kidnapping me, helping me chase down a dog of death, or defecting and going against our cause and joining the Seelie? Because even if the answer to all of those is "no" you'll probably have to go through a huge screening process.

[And what's fun is that it's hard to tell if he's serious or not. Oh well.]

He's kinda busy with other stuff anyway.

Wow. I didn't know you'd have a secretary to handle all your friends, Hiro.

I'd like to see you call him a secretary to his face and see how that goes. [But he knows it's stupid, Yuri. But it needs to be done because Hiro's kind of a terror and he knows it.] It's just...a precaution, you know? War's not really my expertise. I just know things and learn about things and build things.
