[Raven is sitting in a tree outside house 12, bow in hand. Around his neck is a very warm looking scarf, given to him by Miyabi. Despite the fact he's complaining, it doesn't seem as though he actually cares, he's just doing it because he can. OOC: Also all other threads would take place before Yuri and Vash.]

I'm startin' ta feel real sorry for all those new feathers, showin' up in weather like this. Ya must be absolutely insane if ya think this snow is fun, or even pretty! I hate snow, snowmen, snowballs, snowstorms, igloos, icicles, ice cubes, ice cream, all of it! Urgh...

Please tell me it's gonna start gettin' warmer soon. I don't know how much more of the cold this old man can take.

Vash old pal? I take it all that noise over the journal would mean yer back to normal! How'd ya feel about meetin' me fer a drink at the bar tonight? I got the feelin' I'm gonna need a really hard drink later on.

[Filtered to Yuri | 99% unhackable]

Hey, Yuri! I've got an arrow with yer name on it! [He holds up an arrow to the camera, it has Yuri's name crudely written on it, followed by a little patronizing heart.] I'm gonna shoot it at your face! Hah!

You would've lived. [Shrugging, and keeping himself at the ready. You told him to knock you out if he didn't want to get knocked out himself, old man, so that's what he's gonna do.

Same as before -- he readies himself to use yet another Azure Edge.]

How nice.

[Jumping back on top of one of the targets. Ground attacks aren't gonna do shit when he's in a high up place. Though, he can't do anything either.]

[Really, Raven. Really.

Oh well.

He'll just send the Azure Edge at the target itself. ~~After contemplating just throwing his sword at you but deciding that that may not work as well as he'd like~~.]

[Yeah, well... you look like a girl.

Raven didn't initially realize he was standing on top of a target, of all things, so when the Azure Edge hits it comes as a stupid surprise. Raven is knocked off the target, falling backwards into a pile of training dummies.]

[Well ... shut up.

Anyway, after Raven falls over, Yuri ... waits. Mostly to see if there's movement of any kind over where the old man is. No point in approaching and walking straight into a trap or something when he can't run too well at the moment, right?]

[There's a rustling noise, and movement, but he's still kind of buried.

~~Watch out, he might jump you.~~]

[.........

Waiting is boring. He's slowly starting to approach, keeping an eye on the area Raven fell in for any suspicious movements. And even as he makes his way over, there's no way he's getting too close just yet.]

[Rustle.

Rustle rustle.

Silence.]

I'm stuck.

[...

He's not sure if he should trust this.]

Seriously? [ ... ] If this is another one of your tricks, old man ...

I'm not jokin'! There's something heavy caught on my leg!

[... So unsure. It sounds like it could be true, but ...]

... All right. I'll help you after you admit defeat.

Ok, ok! I admit defeat! All bow down to the great Yuri Lowell, excetera. Now help me out, please!

[Welp. If the old man tries something after that, Yuri will just stop feeding him or something. So, shruggin' with a smirk and heading over. ... Slowly. Your own fault for messing up his leg, Raven.

... But when he's finally there, he'll start moving stuff away.]

[Raven's leg is fine, he just can't move the dummies off of him whilst one of his arms isn't work at all.]

Move that one, that one there!

This one? [Grabbing hold of the one he thinks Raven's referring to and moving it away now.]

That's the one! Thanks a bunch!

[He gets up and dusts himself down. That wasn't a very nice fall.]

[And then with his left hand, he goes to punch Yuri in the face. Hey, he admitted defeat, you just deserve it.]

[TAKING IT LIKE A MAN ... mostly because he didn't see it coming.]

[... And while he does glare at Raven for that, he just turns and starts walking away afterward.]

Yeah, right. You're welcome.

[He expected more of a reaction than that. Luceti must've really gotten to the kid, being here so long, he's not sure if Yuri has grown or just changed.]

No problem, you needed it.

[Luceti's definitely gotten to Yuri -- more than he'd be comfortable with admitting.]

Maybe. But I hope you know I'm giving your dinner to Repede tonight for that one.

[Or ... maybe he's just tired and not in the mood to keep going at the moment. One or the other.]

Heh, I don't want it anyway. No offense, I'm just not hungry.

[Throwing the fight wasn't that bad of an idea. He can tell he did some major damage to the kid, but even then, there's clearly something off about the whole thing. He thought Yuri would've been more aggressive and less forgiving.

So he mumbles, just out of hearing range.]

Ya've really grown, kid. Don't get too soft.

... All right. Guess I'll have to find some other way to get you back for that.

[Not that he doesn't have some ideas for right now, but none of them would work well with his leg being painful to stand on, at the moment -- especially with his adrenaline from the fight fading.

Yuri takes several more steps forward -- slow ones at that, and clearly favoring one leg over the other -- before stopping and looking back.]

You gonna stay here, or what?

No. I'm gonna go home and go to sleep, like always...
