[ Aww, she looks a little worried ... and tired. But mostly worried. She's been fretting and being a mother hen to Ioder for the past several days, but something has come to her attention that she really is kicking herself for not noticing a week ago. ]

Has ... anybody seen Yuri Lowell lately? I haven't seen him for quite some time, now ...

[ Yuri had a tendency to go wander off on his own at times, which is probably why she wasn't worrying until now ... on top of Ioder being hurt. But still, this is far too long, even for him. ]

If you've seen him, please, let me know? I'm really worried ...

[ She hasn't checked the residency list yet. She just resorted to the network first thing. Go Estelle! ]

[It's her obvious worry about her friend that pulls at his heart strings. How could he not attempt to assure her after that?]

I do not know whom you speak of, but I am certain he will turn up soon. I'm told that even those who return home often have a habit of reappearing eventually.

[He may have terrible skills at comforting people, but at least he tries, right?]

[ Yes, she is quite worried. :( This is one of her best friends, after all. And after the incident with Ioder, too ... who she's still fretting over, may we add. ]

You really think so?

I-I mean, if he's gone home, maybe it's for the best! I just ...

[ she looks so sad. ]

I want to make sure he's safe ... Is he really gone? I never got to say good bye ...

[He knows the pain of not getting the chance to properly say goodbye far too well.]

...If nothing else, if he is of your home world, you will see him again, one way or another. It's not much, but... at least you know you will one day greet your loved ones again.

[He tries to keep the bitter pain of his own loss out of his voice. After all, this is not about him.]

[ She's quiet for several moments, until ... ]

.. Yes, you're right. If he really is back home, then I will most certainly see him again one day.

[ It won't stop her from missing him, though. And terribly. ]

And if he has not, he is somewhere within Vatheon, and someone is bound to have seen him. If anyone believes he may have found some sort of trouble, perhaps a search party could be organized.

[He pauses for a moment.]

...I suppose it's the waiting, the not knowing that is the most difficult part.

Yes, you're right again. It's definitely difficult, not knowing what has happened, especially to a friend as dear as he is ...

[ But there isn't much she can do, either way. She instead shakes her head, smiles, and tries to turn the conversation in another direction. ]

How are you feeling, by the way? I see you've woken up!

[He's glad for the change in topic, to be honest. Too much longer and he thinks he would've started dwelling on those he'll never see again. And thus he returns her smile.]

I am well, thank you. It seems I gave a few people a bit of a scare with my ill-timed nap, but I'm perfectly fine.

Oh, so it really was one of those sleep comas? Zelda assumed it was one, but I was still a little worried. I've actually been in one of those before. They're harmless, but they can be quite frightening to those who see it happen and don't know what's going on.

[ Oh! It's the girl that Yuri was talking about! Aww, she does look like a princess. An adorable one at that! But ... oh. ]

I haven't seen Yuri-Kun since I arrived here. Do you know where he could be?

[ That would be because she is one, Yukiko. :D ]

You're one of Yuri's friends?

[ ... what's a -kun? She's heard the term thrown around a bit over Vatheon, but she had never bothered to ask.

... there were more important matters now, though. ]

No, I don't. I haven't seen him for a little while, so I'm worried ...

[ Just as Yuri said! ]

Yup! He was the first one to greet me when I arrived on the island!

[ She then thinks for a moment. ]

How long as it been since you've last seen him?

It's been ... about a week, perhaps? I've been busy tending to something else, so I didn't think it was anything odd until today ... Yuri sometimes likes to wander off, but it's unlike him to do so for this long. Especially with Ioder in the condition he's in right now ...

Hmm... That's a pretty long time for someone to be wandering off. Maybe... he's in jail? [ Yes Yuri told her about that ] Though you seem pretty close to Yuri-Kun so if he did end up in jail he would have told you. Ioder?

Jail ...? Maybe. I hadn't even thought of that ...

[ Despite the fact that maybe she should have. But she's right, Yuri would have at least told them if he were, so they wouldn't worry. If he could, anyway. Yuri was quite the escape artist ...

She would have to check that later. ]

I'll check there later. It's a possibility.

[ And now she's pouty at the thought. Yuri what are you doin. ]

[ Yukiko smiles ]

Good idea! Though it wouldn't be good if he's there if he's there then you won't have to worry about him being missing anymore.

[ You really are a sweetheart though Estelle. Worrying about Yuri so much. ]

That's true! If he is in jail, then at least I'll know where he is ... still, what could he have done to end up in jail here in Vatheon?

[ brb, letting her imagination run wild. NOW SHE'S WORRIED. ]

Hmmm... [ There hasn't been any commotion since the attack on the island ] Maybe he was at the wrong place at the wrong time?

.... that would be his luck, wouldn't it?

Yuri-Kun does seem to be the type who doesn't always have the best luck.

It's true, unfortunately. Yuri has a tendency to get himself into situations that are difficult to get out of.

[ Siiiiiiigh. ]

He always finds a way to make it work, though.

Sounds like someone I know. Always gets into trouble but has the luck to still make it out okay.

Are they as cursed as Yuri seems to be?

They're both detectives which is a curse in and of itself. They can't seem to go anywhere without having to solve a mystery.

Oh, I see ... it must keep things interesting, though!

It does! But it also gets pretty tiresome and a bit gruesome when you realize just how often it happens. Most of the cases they solve are murder cases.

So they're like heroes in their own right? They solve the murder cases and bring in the murderers for their crimes?

Huh? Did Yuri...?

_{[shakes his head. He shouldn't be saying that.]}

I-I'm sure he'll be back!

_{[Yeah, positive thinking.]}

I hope so ... I'm a little worried.

[ especially with all that's gone on lately. :( ]

I-I'm sure there's no need to worry...

_{[he doesn't sound so sure though.]}

[ She catches that, Ruca. ]

I certainly hope not ...

[ Not gonna stop her from worrying anyway. ]

Um...

_{[He tries to think of something else to say - something that really would sound reassuring but nothing came to his mind.]}

...I'm sure everything will be okay...

You're right. I'm sure he's just fine!

[ It's clear that neither of them are completely 100% certain, though. ]

_{[He nods and smiles a little.]}

Of course.

_{[they just keep telling themselves that.]}
