how am i going to be an optimist about this?
[Almost as soon as the trial lets out, Tarrlok kind of... tears off to the kitchen, because he's mildly concerned that he's going to experience an adrenaline crash before he even starts cooking, and so he begins! He starts on some tea, marinating some beef for kebabs... but he feels like he's forgetting something...
...
OH SHIT. HE FORGOT TO PUT NOTES OUT OKAY FUCK HANG ON LET HIM REHASH SOMETHING HE THOUGHT WAS FUNNY AND SHOVE IT UNDER PEOPLE'S DOORS BEFORE ANYTHING BURNS]
FOOD IN EAT PLACE
[okay whew he makes it back to the kitchen. And so does Yuri at some point, actually! So... Tarrlok will be getting kebabs ready for everyone, since he was hungry for them, Yuri confirmed, and Cabanela said he'd have whatever he'd have. Speaking of, Cabanela shows up to make some chicken soup! And Yuri makes curry, teriyaki chicken, and steamed vegetables. So there's a little something for everyone. The food that gets put out isn't super fancy, but it's nice, and there's tea just like Elda wanted.
So have at, then!]

That's why we need to find a way to put a stop to this thing as a whole somehow.
[ Because so help him if this organization or anyone continues to get away with doing this shit ... ]
Whatever. This is a pain in the ass.

[She looks at him, questioningly. They agree on that too, right?]
no subject
[ He'll bring them down, and make them take responsibility for their own actions with his own hands. ]

[ She has a point, though. Which Yuri figured was always the case, but he just got caught up in... well, today's nonsense. He takes a breath, and well, it doesn't change how much he dislikes them, but trying to talk about things rationally is cooling his head.
Which is nice. ]
Well I'm not going to be stupid enough to do anything without thinking. If that's what you're concerned about. We've gotta managed to get it all together enough to figure more about what's going on in order to bring them down.
no subject
We need to take care of ourselves in that time, too... We can't afford to lose anymore of our number, but next week will come before we know it.
[Another incentive, another murder. If not that, the timer.]
We won't have the energy to face it if morale stays this low. I won't even ask how you're doing if you don't want to talk, but I know this is hitting everyone hard.
no subject
[ His eyebrows furrow. He can't really imagine them even losing another one of their number - like Rin says they can't really afford to. They really need to keep someone from killing this week and he's going to be keeping some ideas in the back of his head until next week's meeting. ]
I'm not going to bother you with the details, but I guess it'd be stupid to try and pretend that it didn't affect me at all.
[ ... ]
But, by tomorrow, I'm not going to continue to let it trouble me. Not like this, anyway.
no subject
[Coming from anyone else, that might sound sarcastic or disproving. Rin only nods, however, folding her arms. The way her left arm feels, she probably shouldn't be making an offer like this, but...]
Care for a partner? I'll be a lot more effective than those barricades.
no subject
[ Yuri's managed before, he can do it again. It's probably out of sheer stubbornness and willpower this time, though. However, tomorrow isn't here yet, and so... ]
A partner would be nice. That is, if you can keep up.
no subject
[Even if her left arm wasn't weak right now, Yuri would still be able to beat her, but Rin's stronger than she looks. She was trained to fight by Kirei, so she'll definitely give him a few surprises; she's able to give a confident reply like so to him for that reason, as she gets into a fighting position.]
no subject
Heh, you'll regret that!
[ The raven-haired man says knowing that she's saying that like he's said his own words for purely confidant banter, and so naturally he'll continue it. He'll get into a fighting position but as always he'll make the first strike and come towards her, swinging a low punch in an attempt to hit her in the stomach. ]
no subject
When she blocks, Rin doesn't attempt to completely stop the blow, but redirect it with her arm. She's trying to throw his arm open wide and away from his trunk, where she'll immediately be going for a palm strike.
Her reactions are rapid in this environment. If he fails to block it, she'll flow right into a second strike, but if he does block it, she'll quickly change tactics based on what he does.]
no subject
When she blocks and doesn't completely halt it, there is a quick thought of, Different than Rideaux, Milla, and Terumi then. Though he's not going to leave himself wide open here. He's moved his other arm to move in the way of her palm coming into contact. Unlike her earlier tactic, it's a full on block with no redirection, and he'll aim a low kick from one of his legs to try to hit the side of her own in an attempt to trip her up or knock her off balance. ]
no subject
As promised, then, when Yuri blocks her blows, she switches tactics. Like him, Rin also thought to go for the legs, though her approach is different. She's dropped down into a full-on crouch, but seeing his kick incoming forces her to change up her plan of action.
Maybe in her favor. Initially she was going for his ankles, but this presents an opportunity for her. Rin plants a hand on the floor, bracing herself to one side with both limbs as she swings her other leg through the air.
Since he has one leg raised like her, she means to kick out the one he's standing on and completely knock him to the ground.
Should his kick still connect with her before that happens, she's also a lot lower now, and half-turned. It'll more likely hit her in the side, or maybe even the shoulder, though it seems she's turned the way she is to minimize that contact to her arm.]
no subject
Judging from the presumption that he was already switching into the kick on his end first, and that it is still aimed low, it is reason to stand that his own move would wind up connecting first. Given where she's positioned it would also land on her shoulder, rather than her side.
It's not exactly an ideal place for him to have landed the blow on in the first place -- though there is a moment where he is left open for a counter or should Rin perform the very same tactic again. ]
no subject
Did her initial kick hit him at all? If yes but he's still standing, then yeah she's definitely going for the kick again since she's better balanced at the moment than he is.
It's not as precise as the first one would have been, but there is more power behind it. Kind of like Rin's aware she might end up off-target, so she's making up for it with strength to ensure it has some effect wherever it lands.]
no subject
The kick may be less precise so maybe when it lands it's on a different spot of his leg (perhaps a little higher up) but because he's anticipated it less and he hadn't landed an attack of his own on her, it is more than enough to make him fall completely on his ass with a grunt. Though, he'll use his legs to sping back onto his feet, but hold off to see what Rin's going to do on her end. ]
no subject
That did hurt though, so it buys him a couple of seconds, and in that time she re-strategizes. Still crouched low on the ground, she's going to plant both feet again to spring forward with a feint towards his legs that will turn into an uppercut.]
no subject
If not, he is going to try to land a punch directed towards her face, coming from the side. If she does, however, chances are that he's gonna get hit with that before he does his attempted strike. ]
