[The video begins with a clear shot of Yuri cooking, smiling contently as he cooks some delicious looking crepes. Strawberry with whipped cream and a chocolate glaze. He looks up when someone steps into the kitchen, and he waves with his free hand, flipping the crepe with the other.]

Morning, Flynn. I'm about to start the bacon if you want any.

[ Flynn is already in his usual clothes: that is, a full-set of armor. He walks in with a somber face... See, even if he loves bacon and all things meat in general, there's something that must be done. ]

Yuri. We need to talk.

[Yuri raises an eyebrow. He knows that tone. But certain he'd done nothing wrong - except maybe leaving his wet towel on the floor in the bathroom - he turns off the stove and turns to face Flynn fully.]

Sure. What is it?

[ Flynn walks up then and, because he knows Yuri will know how to react and dammit he's pissed, punches Yuri without warning. ]

When I left Lady Estellise under your care, I knew I wouldn't like some of the things you'd end up teaching her. But... seduction, Yuri? You taught Lady Estellise how to... seduce?!

[Yuri takes a step back, catching himself on the stove and rubbing his cheek (which hurt like HELL considering, once again, Flynn is in full armor!) He glares, rotating his jaw to make sure it's, once again, not dislocated.]

You have got to stop doing that.

[ Flynn is still frowning, but he does cast a first aid on Yuri's jaw. It's not dislocated, of course, but... well, Flynn admits he punched a bit too hard this time. ]

And? Is that all you're going to say?

[Yuri rolls his eyes, shoving Flynn away to gain a little personal space.]

Yes, because you're an asshole. Is this the thanks I get for your bacon?

[ Is still frowning, but he's definitely a lot less pissed now that he's punched Yuri in the face. ]

It's not toasted, is it?

And who says you're getting any now?

[And seeing the familiar red blinking of the device, he snorts and reaches over to shut it off.]

[Judith tactfully decides to wait until all other people and arguments have cleared out of the kitchen before popping in herself. ...and yes, she is back to her regular revealing clothes.]

Any bacon left for me?

Plenty.

[He slides some bacon for her onto a plate, placing a crepe on it as well.]

Thanks.

[She glances at the plate of food, giving the crepe a look of pleasant surprise. Then her eyes flick back up to Yuri.]

You okay?

Of course, why wouldn't I be?

[He accidentally closes the cabinet shut with a little more annoyance than someone who is supposedly okay would.]

[Nonchalant as always.] Oh, I don't know. I just heard some yelling in here, that's all.

[By which she means she's been paying attention since that video popped up and may or may not have been eavesdropping on everything since. He can probably guess she's playing dumb at the moment.]

You always see right through me, don't you.

[He sighs, not quite looking at her.]

Just Flynn being Flynn.

[Her gaze sharpens just a little bit. She'll stop the dumb act now.]

And Estelle being Estelle?

Definitely see right through me.

[He crosses his arms, contemplative.]

She's not exactly thrilled with me right now.

I noticed.

[She's silent for a moment, nibbling at her bacon.]

I guess it would be a little shocking figuring it out afterward like that.

[He shrugs, glad to know he could have a decent conversation with someone about this.]

That might be putting it lightly.

[She's reasonable. Besides, she was there.]

I don't think you did anything wrong.

[His lips quirk into a thoughtful smile and he shrugs.]

It's not really about that-- at least, I'm not worried if I did something wrong or not.

[He always had been able to just-- talk to Judith. Perhaps not in detail because this is Yuri and he doesn't do that, but without any pretense. Without a thought that she'd judge him or be afraid of him.]

But thanks.

[A slight smile of her own. She never doubted whether Yuri himself thought he did anything wrong.]

But she thinks so, right?

[He gives her a look that says Yeah, pretty much.]

And Flynn. But Flynn I'm used to.

[She nods slightly, then focuses on her food again for a moment.]

Why did you ask her to do it?

[Pure curiosity.]

I don't know.

[He shrugs]

She's not very sexy, but she's got her own charm. It's genuine, yeah?

[Another nod.]

...she did look good in that outfit.

It looked more comfortable than what she normally wears, anyway.

[She laughs a little.] At the very least, there would be less of it to get in the way of fighting.

Agreed. Never understood how she and Flynn could-- wear all that.

Well, there's something to be said for armor. I'm not so sure about dresses.

Armor weighs you down and slows you down.

[Shrugs.]

But maybe that's just me.

[She shrugs as well.]

It's a trade.

[Movement versus protection. She understands either side of that argument. She's silent for a moment, eating.]

So what are you going to do?

[Back to where this conversation started.]

Probably spend a few days at Tyr's place.

[Shrug.]

[Curious look.]

You think she actually wants you to leave?

[She won't bother asking about Flynn; she knows Yuri doesn't care what he thinks, at least not in the same way.]
