[She sounds genuinely, sincerely impressed.]
That's such a great idea! The, um. It's. Synchrony i-is, um... i-it can be... a lot.
[She pauses, briefly. Awkwardly.
The double allusion to the end of their early time together might or might not be the cause.]
Is, um, is that what you've been doing, in the meantime? Looking after children? ...I think... that's something you're probably really, really good at, actually.
no subject
( He's curious to experience ot for himsef, though, if only so he can figure out his own opinion on it. )
I've been lending a hand here and there, yeah. I actually might need you to write me a story or two for when they get bored of my company.
no subject
[She sounds as dazzled as the first time he showed her new shoots coming up.]
How did you guess I write stories? I, um, I-I don't really... show them to people, but! If, um, if it's for you... a-and for kids who need it, th-then...
no subject
( Read: he spent a lot of his time as a gardener snooping around Bernadetta's things, looking for weaknesses and information and other such things that would make his job easier. )
I'd really appreciate it. I can transfer you some Credits for your trouble, if you like, or if you have any odd jobs you need doing I'd be happy to sort them out for you. I don't like to ask for favours without repaying them.
no subject
[She's... surprisingly firm, on this one.]
Nope, nuh-uh. I don't...
[Ignore the wobble in that voice.]
I-I don't think you know how much of a favor h-having you back is.
Currents* not Credits, get a grip self
( Fortunately for Yuri, he's an old hand at keeping up appearances in the face of adversity. It also helps that they're doing this as an aural exchange as opposed to a visual one; sure, he can imagine Bernadetta's attempt at steel even as pink flushes into her cheeks, but the fact that he doesn't actually have to see it? It's a relief, to say the least. )
You might be giving me too much credit there, Bernadetta.
( He chuckles softly, disguising a little sigh. )
But then I guess you were always like that. Guess I'm just gonna have to do what I did back then, and find a way to make it up to you without you noticing.
no subject
[Once upon a time, she looked at him like he hung the moon and all the stars in the sky. It's surprising, how easy it is to slip back into old habits.]
Um, speaking of Currents... if I wanted to donate some, for the kids and a-all that... would, um, would you be mad at me?
no subject
( And that's the thing: she did look at him like he hung the moon and all the starts, and it twists Yuri up inside to know the extent to which he didn't deserve it. Doesn't deserve it. )
I can't take your money. If you're willing to help me with the stories, that'll be way more than enough.
no subject
[She sounds smaller than she should, at such a gentle refusal.]
Is it... is it bad, to offer that? Somebody else got upset that I did, too.
no subject
( This time, Yuri does sigh. )
Don't get the wrong idea. It's not bad that you offered, it's just unlikely that anyone's gonna accept your charity just yet.
( His tone gentles. )
... No-one has much to give right now, and people know it. You need to keep it for yourself.
( Sure, he's being a bit of a hypocrite right now, but he's less concerned with his own financial wellbeing than he is Bernadetta's. )
no subject
[You know that tone of voice where a small child hypothetically dropped your work gloves in a rose bush, right in the thorns?
...yeah.
Yeah, that's back too, apparently.]
no subject
( And because he wants to at least try to lift Bernie's spirits a little: )
Don't think I'll turn you down again when you've amassed your embroidery fortune. You just need to find the right kind of rich person to start selling to.
