[ Oh, yeah. Gen kinda got got, didn't he? ]
I don't see a need to be so formal. Although a curtsy would be sufficient; a kiss on the hand is more typical if you're courting.

[It was an even flashier, dramatic ending to her wager than she could have imagined.]
My, my... I will remember that.
[But she does not curtsy or kiss his hand? Though the sensation of hers does seem to tangle briefly with his fingers, then release.]
As for this call... It was simply in gratitude. After all... You won me something quite lovely. Perhaps I should grant you something in return.
A favor... ?

[ It's a strange sensation - not entirely unpleasant - but he's still a little out of sorts. She gets an acknowledgement - almost a squeeze in return - before he replies. ]
A favor? I'm not sure what I might ask for. Or what you would be willing to grant or think appropriate... I don't have need of anything at the moment.

Now, now... I did not say you had to choose right this moment.
[A little tutting sound, near his "ear". A click of sharp nails.]
We of opposite factions can do plenty for each other can we not? Cleansing Discord... providing things...
Why don't you save it for a rainy day? It's the least I can do.

[ The sensation - sound - of a sigh accompanies this. ]
Well. That makes sense. Perhaps I will have a reason to call on you later.
[ He hesitates. ]
I would prefer we not end up quarrelling.

It's something that seems to mark our stay here, regardless of whether we wish it to or not.
[ A part of him wishes he could stop caring, but... he knows that would be the very easy way out. ]
But I'm glad that we, at least, can have... Uh. A positive relationship?

For some, yes. It does seem to.
[Some? Well, she had her own opinion on certain things. No comment~]
But I have no particular intention of fighting any of you... Nor do I have any particular desire to make enemies.
I am content to simply exist, and see which way fate weaves.
Positive or negative... That is up to you, champion.

Clearly all I need to do is elucidate on your positive qualities every chance I get.
[ OK, now he gets to tease a little. ]
[ OK, now he gets to tease a little. ]
In that, at least, we agree. I have no desire to make enemies of people. Although I do have my own thoughts on which way I believe fate should bend...
[ There's a mental little noise, like he's snapping his fingers or perhaps waving away a stray thought. ]
I will endeavor to make our interactions... positive, then.

Correct ideas, you mean.
[ Look! He can joke! ]

[ Oh Dimitri... Yuri sees his angle, and he doesn't want to walk them back into the awkward place, but— ]
If you actually went around singing my praises, people might just think you were taken with me.
[ He phrases this carefully, as it is after all just in humor. ]

[ He doesn't quite sputter but he does look a bit abashed. ]
Would that be a terrible thing?
Would that be a terrible thing?
Of course I know what it means.
[ He murmurs, half-laughing, his gaze fixed on his half-empty teacup for a moment. ]
But - that wouldn't offend me. The idea of it.

[ Yuri doesn't quite know how to respond to that. His first thought is that Dimitri could do better, but he has the presence of mind not to blurt that out. ]
My reptuation may not have followed me here, but... Might cost you a date or two, people thinking that.

...I haven't really had any sort of dates or courting, though.
[ Eh? ]
[ Eh? ]
I mean - there was Kaeya for a brief time, but... he's gone and I haven't really had any opportunity or... well. Desire? And no one's expressed interest.
[ Well, he did sleep with Link, but he doesn't really count that because, uh, weird aphro shenanigans. ]
Is that strange?
[ Well, he did sleep with Link, but he doesn't really count that because, uh, weird aphro shenanigans. ]

Well... Yes and no? I'm just stunned no one's tried, I guess.
[ He wouldn't call his casual flirting trying, exactly. ]
But if no one's got your interest, it makes sense enough if you're not going on real dates.
[ Real is the qualifier here, since they do have their outings he calls dates and in those cases the word bears no weight. ]

I just... haven't really thought about it, I suppose. I've been busy with... everything else.
[ He laughs. ]
...thinking about romance hasn't exactly been my priority.

I'd imagine it isn't anyone's.
[ He'd told Byleth something of the sort, when he'd admitted he carries his mother's ring around. At the time, he owed the other mercenary one thing about him that no one else knew, and that was all he could think of. ]
But just so you know, you've got a lot to offer, yourself. And I don't mean the whole king bit.

Of course you do. You are a stalwart Meridian, I heard...
["Heard".]
So I am looking forward to being saved~ And perhaps thanking you in person one day. I do still go to Springstar from time to time, after all.
An artist cannot be contained no matter the battles around her.

An artist? What is it you create?
