"they may have just misheard me. i'm not exactly the loudest person in the room." yuri should know that above all else with how much time she's spent with him over who knows how long now. then again, he understands she says it for his benefit, that having a backbone and admitting that it's perhaps not his fault is also acceptable (and sometimes necessary). a light chuckle falls into his relatively full cup as he brings it up to his lips for a tiny sip, the liquid still hot considering she's up and gotten him a fresh one to his liking. he would've enjoyed the other one but it apparently wasn't up to snuff for his best friend. "hmm? oh is that it? i'm starting to think you set this up on purpose just so that you can get something out of me...." he's absolutely joking and, secretly, he can afford it but it's not like yuri is privy to that information. "alright, what is it? name your price."
