Is it over now? No one's gonna to start singing in front of my house again, or coming by to clean it, right?
[a short sigh, then--]
... That one was way too long. At least that's the end of it. Hope so, anyway. [It sounds more like he was telling himself that rather than stating the obvious, though.]

Then we got the kid, who's been advertisin' that guild over the journals again. He seems fine ta me! I can't say I'm a prime example fer him ta follow.
Flynn is probably cryin' over where Captain Schwann vanished off to, which makes no difference to how he normally is regarding me. That and yer little house party over the weekend would've kept him occupied enough.
Estelle has Rita with her, then there's the fact that, oh right! I kidnapped her, she's more than likely quite happy ta know I'm not around. Which before we get inta that conversation, she was still under Alexei's control before I got dragged here.
Our little genius mage would quite happily like ta hear that my corpse has been found, and Nan could probably care less what happens to a member of a rival guild; let alone one from Altosk. I don't see that dog of yers being too upset either, even if he does have a strangely similar taste in food ta me.
My conclusion? The only thing that would've upset people, is the fact I left based on an argument with you that took place durin' an experiment. At least if yer gonna ask me ta come back, just ask me to come home instead of sugar coatin' it. After all, yer the one who told me to leave.

Those last few lines are definitely true. He was the one to tell Raven to get lost. And the biggest thing that would've upset people would be the reason behind Raven actually leaving. While he's sure the others are upset in their own ways about Raven up and leaving with no explanation as to why, he's the only one who actually is stepping forward and telling the old man to come back.
And that's the most annoying thing about all this. He doesn't want to care, he wants to just coldly tell Raven to stuff it after everything he just said and leave this to someone who could better handle it all, but he just cares too damn much about the people he's living with, used to travel with, fought beside ... dammit.
......
Thankfully, this is going on over the journal -- that makes this a little easier. As much as his pride makes him not want to, he has to do this -- he can't stand seeing something like this go down because of something so stupid, and letting it continue or get worse will just end with everyone in the house getting annoyed.
So, after a brief silence--]
... Fine. [ ... ] Come home whenever you're ready to.
[And he's shutting his journal. He doesn't even want to deal with whatever snide reaction Raven might have to that, or else he seriously would punch him in the face next time he sees him.]

Besides, Yuri isn't the one in the wrong here and Raven knows it.]
Ya know Yuri, it's really rude ta shut the journal on someone when they're bein' melodramatic. And I'm too old ta be playin' childish games like this.
Reply
... Well, not much he can do about that, aside from play off the "don't want to bother" feeling with his usual attitude.]
I've never been known for being polite.
Reply
I wouldn't say that, ya can be pretty polite to the princess. [Compliment]
Look, I've had enough of this messin' around. I'm sure ya don't wanna deal with this right now, but would ya rather have ta come back and deal with it later? Or would ya rather get it outta the way? Yer not the type to procrastinate.
Reply
But hey, at least Raven can recognize that he's not in the mood for this right now. Regardless of that, he glances over at Raven for a moment before looking away again.]
... Not here.
[With that, he'll turn away and head for the back end of the building. If this has to go down, he'd like there to be some privacy, so they can talk more freely without having to worry about someone over-hearing them easily.]
Reply
That and... he wouldn't mind going back home, to everyone who gave him a second chance after everything he did.]
Reply
He's not saying anything yet, though. He already said his piece earlier, and sees no reason to say anything else at the moment.]
Reply
Ya can't expect me ta do all the talkin'. If yer looking fer an apology, it works both ways.
Reply
... But he knows Raven doesn't talk about his past, possibly for a very good reason. It's annoying to him, but ...]
... I told you I couldn't control that. Besides, I didn't hear anything that'd piss you off if I knew about it. ... But I guess I freaked you out with that, anyway. So, sorry.
Reply
Don't take it the wrong way, but ya scared me with that mind readin' ability. I had... hmmm... a lot on my mind, nothin' ta do with you. But I shouldn't have said those things about the guild, you guys are tryin' yer best.
Reply
That's about all we can do, for now. [ ... ] Besides, I didn't consider you being from further in the past than me when you said that. I probably wouldn't have told you to leave if I knew.
Reply
[He pauses. That's kind of a lie, he's quite glad he was brought to Luceti, there are things back home he'd rather not deal with at all. Namely, one massive ham who's played too much Katamari.]
Let's just call it even and go home. I'm not really in the mood to ever explain why I was so upset anyway.
Reply
You're the one who said we should deal with this now. [And shrugging.] But fine. I'm not in the mood to hear it, anyway. [Look, he'll even move away from the wall and start walking away.]
Reply
Unless ya can think of anythin' else that needs to be said? I sure can't! Nope, drawin' a blank.
Reply
If you say so.
[Almost everything about that tone says "yeah, right", but he's not about to get into it if Raven doesn't want to. Besides, he could care less if he does or not.]
