[There's a certain warmth to the way he smiles to that remark.]
Right. There's nothing wrong in doing what we can with it all. Adjusting is a good thing. I've been able to enjoy the couple of months I've been here because of that. Being angry or upset wouldn't help, anyway.
[Ah. Right. The ice. He looks back to it as well.]
We probably should keep going, huh. At least it doesn't look like it's melting.
There might be some people who might believe if they complain loud enough that something is bound to get done.
[ Yuuri says with a bit of a laugh. He hadn't experience that himself personally but he had seen some of the less than great patrons that would come to his family's onsen. It was natural that not everyone would be pleased with his family's business practices. ]
But you're right; we should.
[ He gives a nod and readjusts the chisel in his hand. ]
Ah, yeah I wouldn't doubt that there are. The whole emotional manifestation is both a good and bad thing. They might actually consider it as the truth and work to calm themselves down, or just risk making things worse.
[There are likely both.
Kazuki looks at what he's done so far (not very much), but opts to keep going with the chisel before switching to the blow-torch just yet. He can't help but glance over to the other pairs of contestants, though.]
Have you been able to see any more of the city so far?
Not too much; it's all so much to take in at once.
[ He doesn't mention it, but he was also rather distracted by the lack of a certain person with him when he arrived. There had been an initial panic from Yuuri but he decided that it was best if he just took one thing at a time. If he was here then he would be here and he'd find him and if not...
If not then that would be something Yuuri would cross when the time came. ]
Kind of hard to pay attention to where's what when you just arrive here.
[ Yuuri adds on weakly as he continues to chip at the ice forcing all of the things that were bothering him into the back of his mind. ]
It really is. There's no need to rush with that all.
[He manages to not go on and on like he initially did. Although also telling Yuuri "you're going to be okay" is still something he wants to say.
It's kind of the same for him, though. He went from being in the middle of a battle and within his Fafner, before literally blinking and finding himself here. Hardly a moment after that he realized he couldn't sense Soushi's presence at all. He's good at remaining calm and also at adjusting, but there's only so much a person can take.
So he silently makes the attempts to create a more sense of peace around them, focusing even while continuing with the ice. He's improved with dunamis enough to do something like that, but he isn't positive if it will actually affect Yuuri at all. He'd like to sincerely hope it will, though.]
[ Saying something like "We have all the time in the world", was something that wouldn't sit well with Yuuri because even if it was true, he wouldn't want to be stuck in a single place adjusting to things indefinitely. There weren't immediate things that he had to do but—
These weren't thoughts that Yuuri wanted to have as he chipped away at the ice. He really didn't want to bother Kazuki with any of what was going on within his mind. It was all so new here and he had to keep things together even if it did feel a bit much. His chipping begins to falter a bit before he feels some sort of easiness?
It isn't a super strong feeling but it does quell the growing restlessness inside of him. He stops what he's doing for a moment and looks over at Kazuki a bit confused. ]
[If he did talk, Kazuki would listen. Even if he's not the greatest at offering advice (as proven earlier), or how he can be awkward when trying to cheer someone up.
So he had to try something different.
He seems a little surprised, but pleased, with the question.]
You feel it?
[There's a bit of a smile on his face. It leaves him to put in more effort, and it shows. As he does, the air around him takes on a slight shimmer with what looks something like tiny, teal colored fireflies.]
[ The shimmering lights were beautiful and Yuuri stares in a bit of awe at them for a moment. With the unrest within him at ease, he begins to ruminate about the nature of how emotions affected everything—including others. ]
I think so. [ Yuuri is honestly a little confused about whether or not he's truly pleased about it. It was nice that Kazuki was trying to calm him down, but some aspect of the fact that he was somewhat forcing Yuuri to do something didn't sit well with him.
It's a fleeting feeling as he simply smiles through it all as he gets back to work with a mind less clouded. ]
[Maybe he really should be more considerate with his words. Had he been told that his actions were being forced on another, he would have immediately stopped. And apologize even faster. It's never his intention.]
Yeah, sure.
[It's all he'll say in the end. Which likely is for the best.
He decides to switch his chisel for the blow-torch for the moment to begin smoothing out what's been chipped away. Although upon glancing to the other competitors, he frowns a little bit. Most of them seem further along.]
I think I remember hearing about something regarding a time limit.
[ It would make sense to have one so that no one, or group, would be working on an ice sculpture longer than anyone else and give them an advantage over others. However, what that time frame looked was what Yuuri didn't know. No one had come to stop them so at least that was good..?
Yuuri takes a look at the progress that they've made in regards to their own ice sculpture and it wasn't so bad. It looked right and even though it definitely wasn't fancy by any means it didn't look like an actual mess. ]
