[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.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but there's no point in being closed-up about some stuff.

... All right, maybe not everything.

[... His tone probably shows that that's about all he'll concede on, though.]

[... Yeah, that tone's a little off-putting!]

'Sides, being too closed-up makes making friends a little difficult.

[Haha this is coming from the guy with no tact.]

[It's okay, he sometimes forgets what tact is too!]

That depends on the kinds of people you're hanging around, I think.

[He'll just shrug to himself.]

[Boy, what lovely people they both are.]

Well, I guess it matters if they're guys you don't like or something, yeah.

... I was thinking of the more chatty types, but that works too.

Aren't chatty people usually the types you don't like?

Hmm? ... Nah, I don't mind chatty people. I just don't like being one of them.

[... When it comes to most topics about himself, anyway.]

Oh... got stuff to hide?

[He isn't all that interested but hey, gossip.]

Nope.

[Which is a flat-out lie, but he could care less about doing that to people he doesn't know.]

... You sound pretty sure.

[It sounds like he didn't even consider it.]

Of course. If I had things to hide, I'd know.

I think the problem's that you didn't even think about it.

What's wrong with that?

Seems kinda... off, I guess?

I think you're starting to over-analyze this whole thing.

Hey, I'm just saying man!

Yeah, I'm sure. I guess some people are just naturally nosy, or something.

[There's no way he could be talking about him, right?]

Well, yeah... you're bound to get people like that, I guess.

[Noooooo, of course not. Yuri lets out a short, slightly exasperated sigh.]

Yeah, no kidding. [ ... ] There's something special I do with people like that, though. Wanna know what it is?

Oh, sure! [He has his interest!] Is it something special? [Is this where he gets the journal shut in his face...]

[Wellllllll ...]

Yeah, real special. Watch closely.

[... yes, yes it is. Yuri's closing his journal now. Sorry, bro, he's kind of a jerk sometimes.]

Huh. . .? [SON OF A...]

W-wait, did you just-!?

[He'll remember this, bro!]
