[ He actually doesn't even react, at all, except to glance at her. His expression is totally shuttered. ]
... I'm not angry with you.
[ His voice is cool and quiet, as expressionless as his face, but there's something very intense about that -- about his lack of feeling. ]

[ The warmth of his smile makes his eyes crinkle as he walks in. Yu will cross to the counter and lean on it in turn, mirroring her pose, leaning in until they're close, but not touching. ]
Really? Here I thought I was right on time. Guess I need a better watch.
[ you aren't even wearing a watch you loser shut up!!!!!! ]

[ ................. man. This guy.......
...... is a real goof, Yu thinks.
But he'll nod, more or less agreeable. ]
That we do. First, though, did you like the chocolates?

[ That gets a soft laugh. ]
It sure does. Though this week, I'd like to work on making you a nicer pair... one you can actually see out of.
[ Since.
You know.
Those glasses are just. Solid paper. ]
... if it's alright, I actually have something to ask of you today, Justice.

[ ... god.
He ran to get here, that much is clear; he's panting by the time he reaches her. And the look on her face...
Without a word Yu crosses to her and tugs her into his arms. ]

Hey. [ warmly enough as he enters the study and takes a seat. ]
... you may already know one of Ambition's followers used Advancement Opportunity on me earlier in the week. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to talk to everyone, while I try and decide where to go.
[ or, rather: who to go to. ]

[ what the heck how is justice always so ding dang cute. Yu can't help a fleeting grin as he moves over to join him. ]
I've got to switch gods at the end of this week. So I'm talking to everyone while I try and make my decision.

Disorder, it's good to see you. Or, should I call you Expression?
[ with a slight smile as he crosses to her. ]
... you know I got hit with Advancement Opportunity?

[ ... he's going to instantly derail this by going: ]
You play?

... I got hit with Advancement Opportunity, and a friend recommended you as an option to defect to. [ straightforward. he thinks cunning would rather not beat around the bush, probably. ]
Advancement Opportunity, [ is the somewhat wry answer. ] I wanted to talk to as many of the gods as I could before making a decision. ... what're you building?
Hey, Sincerity. [ He's got a smile for the god, at least. ] Sorry it took me so long. Hopefully we can make up for lost time.
[ Yu will pause, glancing around. ]
So this place is yours after all.

God. God, this isn't fair.
What he can do is so limited, but he loves her (this he knows as deep as his bones, beliefs be damned) and he has to try.
He'll make his way around the counter to her, eventually sinking to the ground to bundle her up in his arms. ]

... hey, Indulgence.
[ man, it's always an adventure seeing this guy. He'll take a seat. ]
Sorry ... it took me so long. I've been talking to everyone ... all week.
[ HE IS STILL CURSED AND IT IS SO HARD TO FUCKING TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING! ]
... if you'll have me ... I'd like to defect to you ... myself.

[ TODAY SURE HAS BEEN A DAY.
And Yu is ... pretty surprised Piety is approaching him, of all people. He'll blink a few times, but incline his head respectfully. ]
It's fine, Piety. What can I do for you?

[ There she is.
Yu's paused in the doorway, studying her back in silence for a moment. He's actually surprised she agreed to see him so soon. Of course, nothing about this will prove easy, he knows. But the things worth doing rarely are. ]
Do you know any Japanese, Ambition?
[ A...pparently that's where they're starting. He'll move slowly into the room, his gaze never leaving her. ]

[ ... honestly, at times he really can't tell if Indulgence might actually be an incredibly manipulative person, or if he really is just ... Like This. ]
[ He's there in the doorway, watching her, the look on his face utterly indescribable.
While he crosses to her slowly, there's no hesitation in the way he moves, and he'll reach out to curl his hands through hers. There's a moment where he searches her face, as if there's some hidden answer there.
But in the end, he just steps in to lean down and press his forehead to hers. ]
I'm sorry, Rise. I've made so many mistakes. From the beginning I've wanted to support you, and ease your burdens... but I think I've only added to them, instead. [ Yu gently squeezes her hands, lifting his head enough so that he can look at her clearly. ] ... but there's at least one thing I can promise you. I won't break, no matter how dark it gets. So don't worry for me, alright? Let me worry for you.
