[Whatever Yuri was doing, he now has a sketchy old hobo at his side slapping him on the back.]

Yuri! Let's go get a drink!

Yuri! What do you think you're doing?

[ no really... what is he doing... i have no idea. ]

[ Welp, Tales of Crossover so- Welcome to Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology-- I mean, the world of Terresia. And welcome to Ailily's Ad Libitum's small as heck place. ]

Oh! You're a new face. Are you here to make a request?

[ friendship is sharing things. Friendship is standing up for your companion. Friendship is enjoying the good times together and enduring the bad times together.

Friendship is also, as according to Judith, as satisfying as scraped skin on your cheekbone. She's already swiping at the mark calmly, smiling with a serenity that most people might find perturbing. ]

How nostalgic.

[ yeowch. he's just going to take this, but talk about enthusiasm. ]

That's an invitation out of nowhere, old man. What's this about?

[ yuri lowell is in the closet.

no, really, noa. yuri lowell is in your closet. he's not sure how he got in here, but it's locked and he's inside. yuri lowell is, indeed, in noa's closet.

and knocking on the door. ]

Hey! Someone out there?

[ wow, flynn, he was just chilling here… in the alleyway… innocently…

that's an innocent place to hang out right?? ]

Even when I'm doing nothing, I'm doing something. [ almost a sigh. ] Hey to you too, Flynn.

[ this is a new one. he's looking around… is this some kind of guild, or something? ]

Uh… not quite.

[ judith and yuri have very similar mindsets sometimes ( most of the time ), and their views on friendship are one of those things they share.

his response to judith's serene smiles are always a small smirk, as he rubs at a matching scrape on his own cheek. that's just how it is. ]

Tell me about it. I'm seeing just as many stars as the last time.

[ force of habit okay...

when flynn sees you skulking around in a dark alley by yourself he assumes something is going down. ]

But that's just it. Don't you have things you should be doing? [ but oh well... he relaxes a bit, leaning against one of the walls of the alley himself and sighing. ]

Huh? [ She's confused for a minute, but upon closer examination he seemed more confused than anything. She quickly returns to a smile. ]

Are you a traveler? Ailily can be kind of confusing when it's your first time here... [ She had gotten lost a few times herself at first. ] But it's a nice place. If need to find your way around, then I can help you with that.

[ he doesn't appreciate this force of habit…

go flirt with sodia or something!! ]

Didn't you know? Roaming around in dark corners is just one of those many things. [ excuse him as he hangs his sheath over one shoulder, observing flynn. ] Anyway, I could say the same to you. Don't people usually need to make appointments to meet you in alleyways?

Just as many? Hmmm...

[ and she studies her fist. ] I would have hoped for more.

[ that would be incredibly unprofessional.

and because he's her commanding officer, possibly sexual harassment. ]

I know you've always had strange hobbies, but this one is a little too strange. But you're right, Yuri. I'm a very busy man, so you should be glad I've taken time out of my busy schedule to do... whatever this is.

[ goodie two shoes flynn.

(nottalking) ]

Sorry to offer such a disappointing display when you've come all this way, then. [ though by his tone, he's not actually.

not that he was chilling here just to chill, but… whatever… chasing a thief down is just day in the lyfe. also letting them go is a day in the lyfe. ] Now were you just passing by, or did you actually come here to look for me?

[ well, it does look nice. he can give it that much for sure. but "Ailily" wasn't quite what he was aiming for. he'll roll with it. ]

No, I think I've got it. [ wrong turns somewhere… lots of them. ] You were talking about making "requests" before, weren't you? Is this some kind of guild?

[ jeez, judy. he thinks you're trying to kill him or something, as he rubs his head lightly. ]

If you went any further, I don't think I'd be seeing much of anything. [ he's got a whole night sky going on already, after all. ] Sometimes I feel like you enjoy beating me up a little too much.

[ teasing, of course, but. ]

Oh?

[ chuckling is not an answer, Judith. ]

I just don't get such a fun opponent that often.

... Heh. Guess I can't complain when you put it that way.

[ rolling his shoulders a tad. ]

Up for another round?

[ don't try to lead him astray bro. ]

Disappointing? I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. [ which is true. he won't say it.

but his voice definitely betrays it. ] Oh, that's right. I was sent to bring you back to the castle. I believe the prince has a request for you. [ a pause. ] As long as you aren't too busy, anyway. [ don't tell him you are, he knows you aren't. ]

Mm, it is! This is Ad Libitum. [ Oh, boy. Good job, Yuri. You just opened the water gates. Kanonno loves talking about Ad Libitum so she's pretty excited. ]

Oh, but we're just another part of a whole guild. Right now we're in Ailily's branch.

[ in response, she slides a foot back, bringing her fists up to guard her face. ]

You'll take responsibility if Estelle gets upset, of course.

Woah, there.

[ spreading his feet and getting lower to the ground, while cracking his wrists. even if that part was pulled out of nowhere, and his surprise is pretty much proof of that. ]

I don't remember signing that part of the contract.

Ad… Libitum.

[ oh hell he is so lost. and he hadn't even heard of ad libitum it sounds pretty big… then again, he's no guild nut like karol so who knows.

her excitement's cute though, yeah. reminds him kind of estelle, actually. ]

How long've you guys been around?
