[Yuca is smiling, humming a quaint little children's song to himself while he gently pulls the sewing needle through a shirt that can be recognized as the overlarge one that Rain had been wearing upon his arrival. It looks significantly smaller now, possibly even the correct size.]
So, I've been thinking, [he murmurs happily,] we should organize some sort of order around here- it's all just chaos, even so far in- what about a schooling system? Or a law enforcement place? We should at least try to become a civilized society, even during all this madness.
[He smiles pleasantly at the camera, before looking back down to his sewing.]
Mm, Rain came back, can you believe it? I knew he would. He'll always come back for me. [A slight hint of the perfect way Yuca had lost his mind in those words, but it's only just barely there. He reaches up to his PCD after cutting the thread.]

While the little one is asleep, I figured I'd say...
[Yuca takes a deep breath, gently resting the garment in his lap. The smile slowly fades, and he looks almost sorrowful.]
Rain doesn't know me- he was taken from before he'd ever met me. [He swallows hard.] As it were... there are things I've done that I regret, more than anything, and what I did to him- might be one of them.
I'm going to ask each of you to keep what I've done to him- to Freya- a secret.
I know... it might not seem like the proper thing to ask, especially after all I've done, but- [Yuca pauses, before shaking his head, his gaze finding the floor.] -I just want him to stay safe. If he finds out- if he leaves me, I can't ensure that.
If you hear anything about him- any ill-will, or any attempt to get at me through him- please, alert me immediately. There will probably be cruel repercussions to him coming here, and he will stay safe, even if I have to die countless times to make sure of it. [The determination in his voice is almost frightening- Yuca means exactly what he says, every single damn word.]
Thank you.

[Aaaand he smiles again.] Ah, Rhode sorry I've gone so soon! I really do appreciate your hospitality, and I do plan on continuing to work with you, but the little one needs my support, and I feel that your lovely mansion just isn't a very good place to raise up a strapping young boy. And... I have one more condition to working with you- mister Kurotsuchi, this involves you too.
[He touches the tip of his index finger to his lips, smiling so sweetly, it couldn't be genuine.]
In all your schemes, present and future, you won't involve Rain- be it as a victim, an unwitting conspirator, or as a test subject. Stay out of his dreams and keep him off of your operating table and I'll continue doing my research for you both. Thank you!

[ooc: **filtered to Alphonse, Xerxes, Zuko, Unohana, Kurotsuchi, and... I think that's it? If your character somehow knows about Yuca's past with Rain (and Yuca knows they know), ping me and I'll add your character to the filter.]
