[Yuui has to wonder at the sight of those mismatched eyes if this Juudai was similar to Syaoran-kun. If his soul was a borrowed gift that had a timer on how long he'd get to keep it.
(He had to wonder just how much time was left on that particular timer as well.)
But for now, with this odd child, he was more than a touch curious... because if he could figure out his flaws it might help deal with Syaoran once he arrived here too.
And if nothing else... he has to be sure this boy was not a threat to his brother. Because threats are, in truth, easier to deal with before they have a chance to inflict harm on Fai.
So here, have a perfectly friendly smile as he props his chin on his palm.]
So...do you ask for yourself because you are no longer yourself, or do you ask for yourself because you've forgotten yourself, child?

[ { Oho~ooo, look who's so wise and sage with his philosopher's questions today! And child, too! (Neglecting the fact that of course, he believes he's speaking to Juudai at the moment...) } ]
But wouldn't the answer be dependent on what the question's actually asking?
[His own expressions remains perfectly serene as he watches the boy. It's interesting - the tone of voice and speech pattern, mannerisms, they're different. That much he can tell. Now he just has to figure out the how and why of it.]

I am always here. [ Snapped, though more out of anxiety than any real objection to the question. ] I do not know why a god would do this; if they meant to remove him from the world, certainly they wouldn't have left me here. Not if they know what's good for them.
[ Yubel bares their teeth; the last time Yubel had been separated from Juudai for an extended period of time, she'd nearly succeeded in destroying the multiverse to reunite them. ]
Maybe they just wanted to speak with him, without your influence.
[ He shrugs a bit there and laughs a soft, almost bitter laugh, otherwise unperturbed by her ire.]
Some might say we think clearer, or for ourselves, if we're separated from our other half. Just proves they don't understand the human heart very well.

[ { Yubel hates this idea. Yubel cannot think clearly without Juudai around; cannot disentangle herself from the razorwire thoughts that cut unless they are carefully avoided and even more carefully handled. He is her center. He is the gravity that anchors her to something real, and she his wings that lift him off the ground; they cannot be fully themselves without one another, they cannot be whole. } ]
Whoever says that is a fool. You may as well say we would walk more easily if we only had one leg to worry about.
[Oddly enough... the only thing Yuui feels at the sight of that almost feral smile is an old weariness there deep in his chest. The feeling is breathed out with a sigh as the last glimmer of humor fades from somber cerulean eyes.
And when he speaks, it's with a haunted note if true understanding - because if anybody does understand that feeling of loss...]
I dunno about you, but for me... it was like having someone wash out everything that's inside in one fell move. Like you're an empty husk, bereft of the part of your soul that was ever truly alive.
It's a gaping void that screams and screams with the silence of the loss and I hope that whatever for their reasonings, you don't have to suffer that sensation for long.

[ Yubel rocks back physically as if struck when Yuui speaks, because how could he speak so eloquently of that pain, that loss? His words trigger memories, bad ones.
( The hands, the tiny sharp hands with their dark touch that is somehow wrong, profane, boring into the most private places of their shared soul and ripping, tearing them apart, and Yubel can hear Juudai screaming - can hear herself screaming, too - ) ]
Stop it. [ Yubel meant this to come out with an air of outrage and command, but it is too fearful, shaking with the memory. ] Stop it. You're trying to scare me. Well, it won't work! He'll come back for me. He will. He promised. Do you understand me? He promised!
[ { He'd promised they'd never be apart, in that moment when their hearts joined - and again, when Darkness had briefly torn them apart, when Juudai had changed her damage to a direct attack on himself and had caught her hand in his.
- I'll get you back, no matter what. His hand was warm, and solid, and comforting. Juudai would not abandon her. Not

I ask because I want an answer. Child.

My name is Yubel. Juudai seems to have departed his body for the time being. This should not be. Have I answered your question?
Reply
[A beat, where Yuui actually frowns a bit and cants his head to the side, thoughtful.]
So these 'gods' are playing a more personal game now, huh? Can I ask if you've always been there, Yubel?

[He smiles a bit at that, showing he sees as little sense as she in the notion.]
I never said they were right.

Your name... it's Yuui, right?
Reply
[He offers a polite inclination of the head and smiles a friendly little smile.]
Mind if I ask if you normally share a body with Juudai?
Reply
Yes. I already said that I am always here.
Reply
[He chuckles at that a bit, then just cants his head to the side, thoughtful.]
Are you going to be alright, being separated like this?
Reply
We are about to find out, aren't we?
[ Translation: probably not, but Yubel is too proud to let anyone see. ]
