True enough. Might take more legwork, but at least I don't have to worry about running away from you or Byleth on some battlefield.

[ Arianrhod and that damned forest were quite enough, thank you. ]

Just going to take more creativity, or rubbing the right elbows.

I can think of a few people you might be interested in meeting...

[ Not because he necessarily wants them to be taken advantage of, but because he does think that Yuri meeting them would end up being a good thing. ]

Rin Tohsaka, for one. She's some sort of mage in her own world. [ And there's a history, oops. ]

Isn't that the girl who went missing?

[ The man shouting in their heads about her the other day certainly did call her "Rin". ]

Been looking for her, this past few days.

Potentially. Although she seems the sort to be able to handle herself.

[ Dimitri sighs softly. ]

Was it that... very loud person shouting about something the other day?

That's the one. Seems he got so wound up the buried the lede.

[ That's his best way of putting it, anyhow. ]

At that time, she hadn't been heard from for four days.

...I see. She's a capable woman, so that is... worrying. I hope she surfaces again soon.

Here's hoping. Admittedly, there's so much ground to cover that I question whether searching does much good...

Still, better to try than not, yeah?

Indeed. If you would like assistance, please let me know. I can make time.

I wouldn't turn down another—

[ "Set of eyes", he almost says, and the thought might slip through before he can catch it. Yuri has no idea what is or isn't under that patch. ]

Another capable man helping out.

[ Dimitri cocks his head for a moment, not quite sure of what that is, but- ]

Well then. Is there anything to be found or is it all as clear as mud?

Byleth asked the man about places Rin commonly visits, though naturally secondhand knowledge only goes so far...

[ A sigh, as he misses his intelligence network sorely. ]

I've run through that but no dice, so mud sounds apt.

Hmm. It sounds like the trail has become cold, then...

[ He's a little worried now. ]

Maybe that man was on to something.

Past all the squawking about a harem and breast sizes, he did seem legitimately concerned.

[ Knowing there are monsters about, human or otherwise, he can't help but worry. ]

Hm. I'll keep an eye out...

[ Dimitri frowns. ]

If nothing else, it's something to consider.

Appreciated. I'm sure she'd rather run into a familiar face, at least.

[ He can't quite block out his concern in this odd form of communication. Wherever Rin is, he hopes she's alright. ]

That would be the hope. Although she can be a little prickly...

[ Understatement of the year. ]

Is that so? Well, I suppose that's nothing new.

I suppose not. We've met our share of that sort of person, I think...

Indeed we have. Starts to roll right off your back after a point, or at least it does for me.

One learns to ignore it. Or put up with it, I suppose.

I can ignore it, but I'd wager you're the putting up with it kind.

[ Dimitri strikes him as the type, anyway. ]

I fear that I am...

Thought so. I hope you don't put up with too much.

I think I manage well enough. But thank you for your concern.

You'd know better than me on that count.

[ He won't pretend otherwise. ]

But I've digressed. Anyone else you'd say I should chat up, aside from miss Rin?
