I don't know, if you don't mean for it to happen but know you're clumsy enough anyway, does that absolve you of responsibility--

[ well.

he's not going to get a lot further than that, really, because he's going to end up catching luca's eye and we all know how that goes. he gets a memory! (4:34 to 7:20), albeit one that yuri doesn't seem especially excited to have floating around like this, given the way his shoulders tense again. ]

[notaccurate]

[Oh boy that's a fun one. But it's not fun for Yuri, going by the look on his face. The worst part is, Luca may not be a noble himself but he brushes shoulders with them often enough to get the implications of Yuri's words there. It makes his heart ache in a painful way,just thinking of how Yuri's passion was killed so swiftly.

And while Luca has been trying to play off the memories as no big deal- he figures people would appreciate it if attention isn't drawn to their often personal pain- he just can't this time.]

Yuri, I...

[He starts to reach out for Yuri, but he sees those tense shoulders and his hand stops.]

[aubins]

It's fine.

[ he just sighs. tired, more than anything. ] Man, this place doesn't pull its punches when it comes to stepping all over your privacy, does it?

[ he still looks a little bit tense, but less so that he had done initially. he doesn't look pleased, exactly, but... well. it is what it is. ]

[notaccurate]

...it doesn't, no.

[It is what it is, indeed.]

Which is a shame, I would have preferred to have conversations about these heavy topics when you were ready. Not when it's forced upon you.

[aubins]

Or not at all.

[ whoops. ]

But I suppose that's not a choice we're allowed here. Like the losing powers thing.

[notaccurate]

[Ah.]

Or not at all, yes. The point is you having personal agency over your past and how others find it out.

[aubins]

[ sometimes you just don't really talk about yourself and don't plan to ever. the yuri life. ]

I think this week is just proving that this place isn't exactly bothered about that.

[notaccurate]

Mmm.

[He pauses, considering something.]

Come, let's go to the tea room and get something to drink. If we're going to be forced to share memories of the past, then I'm going to at least pick something I want to share with you.

[aubins]

... It's not a transaction, Luca. You can run off and avoid it if you'd prefer.

[ he can see what he's trying to do, and certainly he'd say this was an "owe me" situation if they were dealing with physical goods but this isn't quite the same. ]

[notaccurate]

You're right, it's not a transaction. I don't owe you anything. I just happen to enjoy being around you enough that I want to talk with you more. Is that so wrong?

[Is Luca being a bit of a tsundere? Maybe. But he does want to stay by Yuri and spend more time with him, that part is genuine.]

[aubins]

[ tsun..... ]

...

[ he sighs. ]

Sure. But avoid eye contact if you don't want to show me anything.

[notaccurate]

I will do my best.

[He's going to forget at some point and share a memory because of course he is, I want to stab you in the heart becks.

But for now they can go get some tea. And it's actually good tea this time too, nothing too bitter.]

[aubins]

[ thank you for good tea this time around. please attack me directly.

he might as well get himself a comfort tea -- seiros tea, maybe? and snacks that are avoiding chocolate for now. ]

This wouldn't be a bad time for savoury snacks, after last week.

[notaccurate]

Mmm, there really was too much chocolate last week.

[Their chocolate kisses aren't so nice now :(

But little crackers are nice too. He can munch on those.]

Where to begin...I suppose I could tell you about the university itself.

[aubins]

If I see another bar of that chocolate again, I’m going to smash it into pieces.

[ smile!

alas, luca’s science experiment has been soured. whatever shall he do? ]

That’s where you study... Sfeer Theory, right? [ he’s thinking back to their previous conversation and discussion of magical systems. he’s fairly sure he has the name right. ]

[notaccurate]

Time to partake in caramels, until that is ruined.

[It's fine, they can do non-food-based kisses. Kissing is always good.]

That's it, yes. Truthfully the university is for several branches of study, but that's the department I stick to. The campus is so large that you have to travel to different buildings to get to different departments.

[aubins]

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, etc, etc.

[ (smooch emojis) ]

So, more than Sfeer theory, but that's just what you focus on. ... Sounds kind of like Garreg Mach, in terms of the size and having to move around a lot, but without the variety. You can study anything there?

[notaccurate]

Well,not anything, it's a school related to the sciences. You wouldn't go there to study literature or military tactics, for example. But any branch of science, yes.

[aubins]

[ what the fuck is a science. ]

Right. I get it. Like you wouldn't go to Garreg Mach to study Crest research when it's a military academy... normally. [ he can think of two people who did double duty ]

So it's specialised, then with subsections of that specialisation.

[notaccurate]

It is. But I wonder, what do you know about science in general?

[aubins]

[ ... eeeeeehhhhhhhh. ]

I know what fire can burn? [ that's a science, right? ] And that water's wet.

[notaccurate]

Yuri.

[He is suddenly very serious.]

We need to introduce you to the wonders of science.

[aubins]

[ ... do they though? ]

I've managed so far without it.

[notaccurate]

But it's so fascinating, I think you'll like it when you see it.

Here, I already had the materials earlier today, I can show you. They're in the kitchen.

[aubins]

[ he can almost here the wheedling in luca's voice. wow. ]

After we're done having tea and pretending like we're not walking the knife edge of this place ripping out our memories for all to see.
