What would you say to some morning spars? Provided, of course, that it fits into your schedule.
[ Since their last Oracle, he's come to think that training on his own isn't enough. He may not have taken losses, but to protect others, he has to be capable of more.
Few train with more dedication than Dimitri, back home, and he's a formidable fighter. ]

Of course! I'd be happy to! I can easily work that into my schedule.
[ Dimitri seems overjoyed, at least. ]

Well, I won't go all out... but I'll certainly make certain you have a suitable workout.
[ He says, incredibly earnestly. ]
[ He says, incredibly earnestly. ]
[ It's apparent how excited Dimitri is and Yuri can't help the way his expression softens for it. He supposes Dimitri couldn't go all out unless he was facing an enemy, so he nods along. ]
I'll be holding you to it... And I'll do my best to give you a sporting challenge.

I'm confident you shall. You have as much skill as anyone I've met, you know.
[ Again, he is far too earnest. ]
[ Again, he is far too earnest. ]
Conditions? I can't think of any - I'll just enjoy competing and working with you.
Now I need only wait to find out whether you'll cook or not.
[ Intoned with a playful smile. Absolutely teasing.
Yuri won't underestimate Dimitri by any means, but having a prize of sorts adds to the fun in his view. ]
Do you wear an apron, I wonder...

Well, I'll certainly give it my best shot. I've been working on cooking for myself of course....
[ He pauses, blinks. ]
Well, I suppose I do wear an apron at times. Why?
[ He pauses, blinks. ]
Well, I suppose I do wear an apron at times. Why?
Ah, productive? The items I make are edible, in any case.
Well, I suppose I do. But I'm an amateur at best...
Is there? I suppose I could have merely picked up on it from others...
[ Sorry, Yuri. ]
[ Sorry, Yuri. ]
[ Dimitri, the Teflon of compliments... ]
Wherever you picked it up, you've done well. You're a fine host, Dimitri. I hope you know that.
[ Yuri'd like to think that, as another Faerghan, he's in a good position to say as much. He knows what tends to be expected among their people in terms of hospitality. ]

[ Dimitri stifles a smile. ]
Thank you. I try my best. Sometimes I think I'm trying to overcompensate...

...I know that when I was at my lowest I was angry. Maybe even cruel. I feel as if I may be making up for that somehow.
...Dimitri.
[ Casting good posture aside again, he props his elbows on his thighs and leans in marginally closer, as though this conversation is somehow conspirational. ]
I doubt I know the half of what you went through. I'm sure the actions you regret, you'll try to set right. I'm equally sure you know my own hands aren't clean.
[ Even so, he lifts a hand, reaching to press a finger to the middle of Dimitri's chest. ]
But this you've got here? It's a good one.
[ He doesn't think the kindness Dimitri has shown him has been in recompense for anything. Rather, it's his belief that it's who Dimitri is at his core. A kind man can still be capable of cruel things. ]
