[There's the sound of footsteps clicking along the silent streets for awhile. Yukari's already woken up here again, said a few very unladylike things, then started strolling back towards Horton once she got her head together again. She's calm when she says something, even if there's an undertone of being very peeved in her voice.]Looks I'm back

[but her tone turns a little darker at Yukari's last sentence. She's back to her usual cryptic self.]

I suppose you're right. But he...
[awkward silence. Her response is hushed, yet urgent, and she doesn't want to reveal this side of her to Yukari, but...]
He doesn't deserve this.
[She didn't normally bother with 'deserves,' because she knew the world didn't work like that. But for him, her rules had always changed.]
