“You could say that that guy thinks the end result matters a lot more than the means to do it.” To put it mildly, in any case. He’s not sure how much he could say in this sort of time-traveling alternate universe situation without screwing anything up too badly. “Oh, don’t worry about that. I already know where I’m going, no need to send Flynn along with me.” Just a matter of taking a ship, though— “What’s the weather like in Capua Nor?” 

     “ Is that so, “  yuri retorts quietly.  he figured most knights were crooked enough to take people down with them. these high and mighty types ... there wasn’t an ounce of patience for any of them and yuri finds himself surrounded by them every single day. ugh ... this guy, though. looks like he took the easiest way out ... doing whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. man, that’s the life. “ The end justifies the means ... sounds pretty accurate. “ even still, commndant alexei wasn’t exactly the kind of person that would do such a thing ... would he?

     why is he questioning the loyalty of the knights, anyway? what even holds his interest aside from doing all the boring work that flynn should be doing ... this isn’t his speed at all and all sodia does is fawn over him like he’s someone super cool and amazing. she’s such a stupid fangirl it’s annoying .. and that applehead, witcher ... at least he’sa decent guy but ... damn.  “ ... Whatever you say, “ he sighs sardonically, getting up from his seat and moving over to the door. “ Huh ... ? “ capula nor? ... oh, right ... he left a note for the esteemed vigilante flynn to -- 

the answer is no.

no we don’t.

“I guess I just woke up feeling a little funny…a few days back. It will pass, as most things should.”

 Rubbing the back of his neck with a heavily callused hand, ‘Raven’ let his eyes wander over to Yuri’s expression. If he could read him….then he’d know how much he could get away with telling him, without things getting more complicated than they needed to be.

“I’m surprised you’d show such concern over me. It’s not as if I’ve shown myself to be the sort that cannot handle these….off days.”

A small huff as she put her hands on her hips and grinned. “Aye, I mean it! You and everyone else are my important treasures and a well-respected pirate has to keep their treasure safe~!” A smile as she closed her eyes. There were lots of things she wanted to know about him. But that could wait. It was more fun to find it out the hard way. “So shouldn’t Flynn be dealing with him and not us?”

“Shouldn’t old men be lounging in a retirement home instead of hanging around the dangerous seaside?”

A small giggle as she rocked on the heels slightly, her braids bouncing ever so slightly as she looked up. “Aye, but it was a very long and wild ride, nano ja. An yer my treasure so I hafta know you as well as you’ll let me or someone is gunna take ya away when I ain’t lookin.” She couldn’t have some weirdo taking her treasure. One weirdo would be Zagi, but he was fun to fight, so she’d let it slide for now, though how had Yuri even met such a guy? “Speakin ‘bout love. How did ya get a guy like Zagi stuck ta ya like a remora on a shark? Or maybe its more sea louse, na ja?”

Blue hues looked up before closing as she smiled. It was easy for her. Yuri was lots of things, nice, cool, a good cook, a great fighter, he was dependable, and seeing him happy made her happy.  She gave a gentle hum before she shifted her hands behind her back. “Don’t question a maiden’s skills when it comes ta love, nano ja~ An. Couldn’t ya tell if it was Flynn with yer eyes closed?”

“It’s always intriguing to me, how Beorc seem to have many different ways to interpret the word ‘strength’. Before meeting them, I always believed physical strength to be the most important, since it is the strength that can most easily be tested against another. But I can certainly see the importance of mental fortitude as well.”

It seemed that she had a lot to learn from the Beorc, even despite her age and experience. Of course, she would need to return home eventually… But for the time being, the wolf queen couldn’t help but ponder the possibility of broadening her own horizons before returning home.

Perhaps that knowledge will make her an even stronger ruler… Which was always a nice thought.

          ❛ I don’t know about you, but this Beorc is just fine with physical strength as the defining term. ❜ if it weren’t for the fact they were in the middle of a parched desert, yuri would probably be having the time of his life with the queen at the receiving end of his axe. ❛ It’s not like some of us don’t believe in physical strength being everything, but you have a point... ❜ he glances up from his seat to look at the dunes in the distance with a sigh.
