[As per usual, Yuri's spending his morning today in the battle dome ... although, for those who've seen him in there a decent amount of times, they may notice something different. Like the fact that he seems to be using a mid-sized axe instead of a sword this time around. It even seems to be making some of his artes look and act a little differently as well.

He also has a sword leaning against the room he's using - namely the katana Luke got him for Christmas. Occasionally, during breaks in his training, he'll wander over to it and pick it up, as if thinking about something related to it, but he always ends up putting it back down again.

Feel free to interrupt his session at any point! The monsters he's fighting don't seem to be challenging him very much, to begin with.]

[After his training session--]

Got a bit of a question for everyone. Which do you think is better - swords, or axes?

[Filtered to Brave Vesperia: 85% Unhackable]

As for you all, I figured I should let you know that I'll be trying to do a little recruiting around the end of the month. I'm planning on doing the usual through-the-journal kind, but if anyone's got a better idea, let me know.

... Actually, if anyone's got any ideas for the guild at all, now's a good time to tell me. Especially if it'd help us stand out a little more as something other than some kind of construction group.

[Whenever Yuri sees Melaka, then, it'll be from the inside of the barracks. Because, yeah - cold. Not waiting outside, that's for sure.

... But, he only heard her voice, so he'll just glance at her when he sees her, trying to see whether she's just here to practice, or if it's the person he's waiting for.]

Lowell?

[It echos a bit. In the building. sort of...]

[Welp, that solved that bit. He'll give her a short wave from where he's standing, then.]

Right here.

[Okay-! Wide stride on over to him then. Yep yep ]

[While she's striding on over, Yuri's giving the weapons she's got with her (the more noticeable ones, anyway) a glance. And a slight eyebrow raise. What, did she think he was going to kill her out here, or something? ... Well, Luceti's a weird place, so who the hell knows.

Still. Yuri, being Yuri, can't keep his mouth shut about things like this, so--]

You think you brought enough with you?

Usually walk out with this.

[Yeah. Well. He's just going to have to deal :I ]

Uh huh ... Well, no one can call you unprepared.

[Well whatever. He'll just turn away and start drawing his sword.]

All right, so how do you want me to do this? Just show the artes off, or ...?

Less you got some other idea. Coulda just told me.

Just figured I'd ask.

[More like he figured she wanted to see the artes via a spar, with all the weapons she brought with her, but. Well. He's not gonna suggest that if it's not coming to mind for her first.

Regardless, he'll start walking over to one of the training dummies the barracks contain, stopping a little ways away from it.]

All right, try to stay away from me while I do this. Wouldn't want you to get caught up in it.

[After saying that, he'll give her a few seconds to move away further, if she feels the need to. Right after that though? He starts using his artes. All of them, aside from the Divine Wolf series and Savage Wolf Fury. No need to get TOO flashy after all, and not to mention those things wear him out quite a bit, especially in Luceti.]

[I thought you were tired, Yuri... But holy shit. That's intense. seriously That's so intense. Jeeez.]

[Yuri has a very vague definition of "tired". At this point, though? He's what a normal person would call "tired". Regardless of that, after that display, he goes about sheathing his sword.]

... And that's it. Those are artes.

...Wow.

Kinda does look a little magic.

Real magic artes look way different. I guess if you ever saw those, then you'd know why I said that my own artes aren't magic.

[Aaaand sword has been sheathed. He'll turn to face her now.]

Oh prob.

[ ... ] I'm impress.

It's much more impressive against an actual enemy.

[But he's still smirking about the compliment. It's probably one of the only things he'll sort of take praise on, really.]

Someday, I'll see that.

[because it'll be interesting. But okay, this was worth it. To check on this.]

Maybe so. Hopefully in a draft or at the battle dome.

'Less you turn evil on me, doubt it'll be anything else.

[Lightly. Turning evil totally happens]

Well, there are the experiments here, too.

[Or someone else deciding to turn evil, but just on the off chance that leads to a conversation about that, he omits saying that. It's a topic string that leads to something he's pretty uncomfortable talking or thinking about.]

Hey, you ever go evil, promise to fight you, deal?

[Okay she's going to turn to head towards the exit...]

Uh ... deal, I guess.

[Yeah he's just ... gonna stay right where he is. Maybe watch her leave, or something. Man, if she wants to fight him, she could just ask for a spar Silly. This girl's silly.]
