[ 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.

[notaccurate]

-ah.

[Luca, so caught up in his nerdiness that he forgot that Yuri is in a bad mood from memory week.

He sinks back in his chair and glances away, looking a bit sheepish.]

My apologies. I get a little too heated when it comes to the sciences.

[aubins]

[ ...

he sighs, sets his tea down and leans over to rap luca on the forehead with his knuckles. lightly, of course. ]

What are you apologising for?

I'm saying sure, but after I've finished my tea. [ enthusiasm isn't a bad thing. ] This place being an ass isn't your fault.

[notaccurate]

[He turns back to Yuri as soon as he feels those knuckles on his forehead. It doesn't hurt, but it does drag him out of his momentary embarrassment.]

It's, er...I know I can be a bit much sometimes. That's all.

[...]

Um. Tell me if I'm being too much?

[aubins]

[ ... ]

Do I look like I would not tell you if you were being "too much"?

[notaccurate]

No, but you haven't said anything about it yet either.

[aubins]

Then what does that suggest....?

[ c'mon luca. work through your anxiety brain you can do it. ]
