_Shu's Perspective_
I could tell that something had been bothering Yuri since we came to the bar. Usually she was rather quiet and reserved but right now she was awfully talkative.
I was aware that something must've happened between her and this Sasha girl. I wasn't entirely sure whether I could trust her right now but Yuri seemed to be at ease with her.
"Shu, Shu are you even listening to me? I'm spitting out some serious gold right now," Yuri said annoyed as she jabbed her elbow into my side.
I gave a slight grunt and batted her arm away and rolled my eyes as I said, "I was listening, just not very well," I responded with an apologetic look.
Sasha chuckled quietly as Yuri rolled her eyes and gracefully draped her arm over Sasha.
"So Shu, Sasha started warily, "How did you and Yuri meet? Have you two known each other long?"
I stealthily to Yuri who said nothing and instead nursed her drink her eyes already on me, waiting for an answer.
"We actually met in a bar almost a kin to this one. It was actually pure chance that we found each other almost a week ago," I chirped excitedly before I finished the rest of my beer.
"Were you on your own before you met him Yuri? Did you stay in the village after I left?" Sasha asked warily.
"Does it really matter? I'm here now and that's all that should matter," Yuri said almost deadpan.
"I think I'm going to go get kore to drink, do you want some more Shu?" Sasha asked tensely.
I nodded and looked to Yuri who looked to be deep in thought.
Sasha left in a rush and Yuri watched after her suddenly aware of only her.
"If you were worried about her then why not answer her question?" I questioned when she finally looked back to me.
"I can't answer her, she wouldn't like the answer and I don't really want to talk about it. When she left I was broken even though I knew she would leave," Yuri replied with a sad look.

__Ready Set Go!__
Yuri said that she was happy now that I was here but something was off with her. It was almost as if she was holding something back.
I mean I had secrets too but what was Yuri hiding from me. In order for this to work there needs to be trust between us.
I love Yuri but sometimes I question if she loves me the way she says she does.
I also wonder if she'll forgive me for what I'm about to do. If I had any other choice I would back out, but there counting on me. I must not fail them, not again.
