[For the past few days, Yuri has been spending most of his time out of the house. He'll make an appearance in the morning and show up just in time for dinner at night, but other than that, he's been noticeably absent. And any time it may have been questioned, he's simply said that he "lost track of time". ... Several days in a row, apparently. And this day is shaping up to look like a repeat of the previous ones.
Really, he knows what he's doing is obvious. He knows it's suspicious. He knows he's going to get called out on it eventually, and he knows he's going to have to explain things, as badly as he wishes he could just pretend absolutely nothing happened between himself and Judith years ago in Luceti. But unfortunately, it's getting to a point where he can't help it. He was handling the whole situation worse and worse as time went on. The first day didn't feel quite as bad, but that was mostly due to the surprise of it all - and expecting to hear any time over the journals that the Malnosso were pulling some other kind of stunt. But the next day and the day after that just made him remember the past, along with the son he had before the Malnosso gave him away to a family in another enclosure - and that didn't help anything for him in the least. Maybe those he told about his relationship and Jonah were right - maybe he really should've tried to resolve all this earlier, instead of pretending everything was fine. Maybe then, this wouldn't be affecting him as much as it is.
Too late now.
He'll find a way to deal with this - to get around how he feels about this situation, so he can act normally around Judith and the rest of his housemates again. He will ... but before he can even start to, he has to make a decision about whether he should tell Judith about the past they had the first time she appeared. And if he does, HOW to say it, and when. Which leads to why he's been disappearing so much - he doesn't feel he can really face her until he figures this out. But at this point, it's been days, and he knows he can't keep doing this without making things look more suspicious than they already do.
He had to use today to make up his mind as to what he's going to do. Any longer than this, and things would get much worse - or she'd find out on her own or from someone else, which would really make things go south quick. That's the last thing he wants right now. Or needs.]
[Thankfully, he's been spending his time in the same sorts of places, making him fairly easy to find. In the morning to the early afternoon, Yuri can be found at the battle dome, though he seems to be doing more "hanging around" than fighting. During the mid afternoon, he can be found walking the perimeter of the village. He may do this several times, in fact. From then until it's close to nightfall, he can be found at the barracks, practicing some basic sword movements. ... Though, like the battle dome, he's doing more hanging out than practice while he's there.
Anyone is welcome to bother the guy at any of those places. He does look pretty distracted, especially to someone who knows him decently enough.]
[ Voice ]
[During the afternoon, Yuri decides to make this day seem less suspicious than the past few by actually appearing busy. He told the guild he'd do this later, but ... this was the best he could think of. It doesn't hurt to do this a little earlier, anyway.]
... Well, first off, welcome to Luceti to the new guys. Not exactly some primo vacation spot, but things could be a lot worse here. [Yep. Sounds good. Perfectly fine mood, nothing weird!] That aside, there's something I wanted to bring up, and not just for those who've just showed up.
Some of you have probably already heard me go on about this in the past, but I never really got around to explaining it recently. What I'm talking about is Brave Vesperia, a guild we have established here in Luceti. It's a sort of "odd jobs" kind of guild - tell us what you want to have done, and if it's not for something suspicious, we'll do it. [There's a pause, as if he's purposely trying to word what he says next in a certain way.] We've ... mostly been called on to do construction based things. ... Like building new structures, or house expansions. But that's not all we're here for, so feel free to ask us to do anything that might help you out. We're a pretty flexible group.
That aside, we're also opening up recruitment for the guild. So, if you're interested in joining us, just tell me your name and some basic skills you have. I'm Yuri Lowell, it's current leader, so I'll probably just process you on the spot. [Because he's just that much of a hard worker. And not just trying to keep himself as busy as possible. Not at all!]
If anyone has any questions, just send them my way.
[... That should be fine. Hopefully that alone will keep him busy enough to get his mind off of other things, at least for a few hours.]

[Voice]
What sort of "odd jobs" are you speaking about? Minus the building part.
[Voice]
We've done minor exploration and some information gathering here, in the past. But really, anything from deliveries to hunting down lost or rare items - even acting as temporary body guards, if someone decides they don't want to use the Rogues.
[Voice]
Have you ever been commissioned to do anything that would be considered "morally objectionable"?
[Voice]
Our guild only accepts jobs that won't end in harming innocent people. "Morally objectionable" ones wouldn't even get the time of day.
[Even if the guild did once get tricked into aiding a terrorist group back home, Yuri decides to omit that, mostly because the issue was solved almost immediately afterward. He feels it's none of Alvin's business, anyway.]
[Voice]
And what are the rules for joining your little guild? There are always terms and conditions to these types of establishments.

[Voice] dammit i'm too tired to do more joke tags
[Voice] Me too, doesn't help with getting used to the muse either XD
[Voice]
[Voice]
I'll admit, I am intrigued, and since you're recruiting as it is then I doubt you'd have any objections to me joining your guild?
[Voice]
TOO BAD HE CAN'T SEE DREAMWIDTH USER ACCOUNTS HUH.He's kind of suspicious, but not enough to say no.So ...]
No objections. But I will need to know what sort of skills you could add to the guild before I let you in.
[Never mind that he tends to let EVERYONE in, no matter what skills they have.]
[Voice] Oh hey we're on hiatus this is a good time to tag you.
[That last one was a bit of a mocking tone. But yeah, that'll do.]
[Voice] We are the best at being on hiatus.
Good. In that case, I'll make sure to put you on for any other construction jobs we get.
[Voice] IKR
Jokes aren't your kind of thing, are they? You seem tense.
[Voice]
Just wait, once he's done being all "MUST KEEP BUSY AAAAA" he will be eying everyone he just recruited and judging them silently until they prove themselves.]I've just got a lot on my mind right now, that's all.
[Which is ... not a lie, but he is wondering why he bothered admitting that. Eh, doesn't matter. Not like he's about to get into it, anyway.]
