[It's been just about two weeks since Yuri's return to Luceti. He mostly kept to himself during this time, wanting to make certain he had most - if not all - of his memories of Luceti back before he made it clear that he was around again. ... And of course, before taking control of Brave Vesperia again. Seeing his guildmates and having no clue who half of them were wouldn't exactly win him any points with them, after all.

But now, he was sure he remembered most things. ... Little details weren't around, but he didn't see the details as being nearly as important as faces and names. Regardless, he decided that he'd done enough waiting around and flipped open his journal.]

[ voice ]

I guess I've put this off long enough. [... Geez, what does he even say? "Hey guys, I'm back, in case someone didn't know!" Wow, that's kind of lame. Uhm.] So ... for those who know me, I'm back again - and I remember most things, as far as I can tell. For those who've got no clue who I am ... I wouldn't worry about it. I'm just one of those guys who keeps winding up here for whatever reason. You know, one of the "lucky" ones. [You could practically hear the quotes around 'lucky'.]

Anyway, I'll be taking charge of Brave Vesperia again over the next few days. So, if you've got any business with the guild and need to contact the guy in charge, send a message out to Yuri Lowell. I'll get back to you when I can. Also, if any guild members have anything they feel should be brought to my attention or anything like that, just let me know.

[Hm ... Yeah, that should be good enough. Although, there is one last thing ...]

... Aside from all that, I've got a question. Does anyone know just who was in charge of that training school thing from a while back? I've got a few things to ask them, if they're still around.

[ action ]

[Aside from that bit of business he had to take care of, Yuri's also at the battle dome, trying to get used to using the control panel for it again. ... Sure, he's only got it to do basic things (send out monsters in a typical grassy field), but it's something. He'll figure the rest of it out later.

So yes, feel free to run into him while he tries to figure out how to do more than just super basic things with the battle dome, or even catch him while he's training there.]

Huh?

[ ... ]

... Ah, right. I remember that. [A small pause, then--] Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that. I mean, you've already got some kind of sword experience, and I already said I would.

[... Not that he thinks he'll be any good with actual teaching, but hey, might as well help the kid out AND use him as a sort of test dummy to see how well he could pull this sort of thing off.]

Really? Thank you! I promise to try my best! I don't know how good I'll be, but I'll work my hardest anyway. I'll make sure you won't regret agreeing to teach me.

[... sob SO THAT'S HOW IT IS, IS IT, YURI? Oh well. Emil's so happy about this that he wouldn't care even if he did know that.]

[W-well, there's the fact that Emil is well overdue when it comes to learning how to fight too, but ... yes. Sorry Emil, he's never done this before :(]

I'll hold you to that. Just remember that I've never done any teaching like this before when we start.

[It was one thing to teach a princess how to make an egg sandwich, but teaching someone how to use a sword properly is kiiiiiinda different.]

That's okay. I mean, how hard can it be to teach something like that? I think learning it will be the much harder part.

Maybe so, but things are even harder to learn if the teacher can't teach. It's definitely easier if the person telling you what to do knows how to do so.

What makes you think you wouldn't be any good at teaching?

... I'm not really the most patient guy out there. From what I understand, you need a lot of patience for this sort of thing.

I don't know-- I'd say you're pretty patient if you haven't chased me off yet.

[Because let's face it, he's well aware that he can be annoying sometimes.]

I'm only patient in some areas. Teaching seems like it'd be a little different from that.

[After all, he hasn't killed Raven in his sleep for all his antics. Yet.]

You don't have to worry about hurting my feelings if I mess something up. I want you to tell me whenever I'm doing it wrong so that I can work on fixing it.

That's not really what I meant by that ...

[Really, he can see getting more frustrated at himself than anything else for not knowing how to explain things properly, but--]

It doesn't really matter too much, anyway. I'm still going to be doing this.

I know. Thanks, Yuri. It means a lot to me that you don't mind teaching me like this.

[Good thing this is voice, and the journal can't really capture that that embarrassed him just slightly.]

Yeah yeah ... When do you want to start?

I don't know... when would be a good time for you?

I guess mornings would be best, on whatever days you're not busy. That's when I usually go out to train anyway, so it technically wouldn't be conflicting with anything on my end.

What about the weekends? That way we won't have to worry about changing the days when school starts up again.

Weekends, huh ...

[That's when most of his spars are ... well, if this is in the mornings, then it shouldn't conflict. He can handle all this! It's just extra training, that's all !!]

Yeah, that's probably our best option. It'd be kind of annoying to have to change days and times around later on, anyway.

Yeah, and I help out in the Welcome Center and Sheena's tea shop too, so my afternoons are usually pretty busy after school.

[He likes having things to do, okay. Maybe too many things.]

[... Wow wait what.]

... Don't you think you're spreading yourself a little thin, doing all that?

[Building projects, Welcome Center stuff, helping out in a tea shop, and then he'll be going back to school soon ... Wow, that's a lot.]

Don't worry, I don't do them all on the same days. I mostly help out with the Welcome Center during New Feather cycles, and I don't have that many classes anymore since I've already taken most of them. Besides, I like having things to do. It makes me feel like I'm being useful.

If you say so. It still sounds a little much to me, but whatever keeps you busy, I guess.

It's a lot better than sitting around and doing nothing, at least.

... Yeah, I guess I can't really argue with that.

That's what I thought.

Right, right. Just don't jump to take on any more obligations. That'll just be asking for trouble, at that point.
