Characters: Yuri Lowell, Members of Brave Vesperia, and anyone else!
Date: August 11 and beyond
Location: Central
Situation: Cleaning up the fire damage.
Warnings/Rating: None that I know of. List any in the headers.

The first had left quite a mess. Yuri didn't know what had happened to Erskine, but he didn't think it was anything to worry about. Surely his friends had taken care of the matter. What was left was seeing to the community and cleaning things up. There was definitely a lot of work to be done, and Brave Vesperia was stepping up to the plate. Whether they got paid or not didn't matter. This was something that needed to be done. One of the other foreigners had done this, and it was kinda their responsibility to help.

Thus the morning after the incident found a meeting in the lobby of the Midnight Hotel. All available members of Brave Vesperia gathering there as Yuri explained the situation and what they would be doing. Since there was no guarantee of pay, anyone could opt out of they wanted to, but Yuri was going to lead the charge out there. Even if he went by himself.

Once things were explained and decided, the group headed out to the destruction zone. Each person being assigned tasks according to their talents and abilities. And if anyone that wasn't a member of Brave Vesperia joined in, that was fine, the more the merrier. Yuri himself would be putting his sword aside today, only bringing it just in case it was needed as a tool. Despite the fact that weapons weren't allowed in Central. His hair pulled back and his sleeves pushed up as he helped to move the rubble. The man pausing now and then to give an encouraging pat on the back to any forlorn Kedan who viewed their wasted businesses. They would get through this, and Brave Vesperia was here to help.

Duke blinks and it sort of seems like he focuses back on the real world. Right, he had been shifting rubble. He sets back to that before he realized that wasn't what Yuri had said anything about.

"There are more possibilities open than simply using a core." There is his cryptic reply, because he's still working out if it could or couldn't work. He might have to find another way to define the power that runs the formula, or leave it as a blank space that they would put the power in for? Possibly.

He's still shifting rubble, but it's slower. Still thinking.

Yuri blinks too. Something other than a core?

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

Estelle could use artes without a blastia, so anything was possible right? But then he wasn't a mage. Man, what he'd give to have Rita here right about now. She could make sense of this stuff a hell of a lot better than he could.

"We already combined several different types of magics into one. What is there to say that a formula with-" He pauses, and then starts again. Yuri isn't a mage at all.

"If I set the barrier formula up right, it might be able to take in any sort of magic aimed at it for power." That would make sense to him, right?

He looks a little less distant, talking about magic.

Yeah, it did make sense. So Duke was wanting to do another thing like with Zatanna. Except this time using everyone's magic to power a formula and create a barrier. It seemed like a long shot, but Yuri was willing to try if Duke was.

"If you think you can pull that off, I'll do what I can to make it happen."

There was definitely a lot of magic users and most of them would likely be willing to help. Yuri could round them up.

Duke blinks once at Yuri, a little confused by him going and offering to get it to work. Is this more feeling bad for how he talks? Or is it a rather accurate realization that Duke might not manage to get all of their attention or hold conversations long enough for it to come up.

.... Either way, Yuri probably is the better people-person. If he can keep his mouth in check-

... Duke will ask on his own too. To have it all weighing on whether Yuri can keep civil is a bit much.

"Theory is simple enough. Small scale barriers of its type ought to be simple as well." He's modifying an existing spell, mages do this in combat all the time. "Fueling it is the only worry I have."

... He's not arrogant about his abilities with making spells, honest.

It was actually a bit of both, plus his desire to actually help the turtle they were living on. Nobody else seemed to be really doing anything to help it at the moment.

"Right... Well, let me know when you're ready to set this up."

Then dusting his hands off again, Yuri stepped towards Duke. The raven haired man stretching out his arm to offer his hand.

Duke makes an agreeing noise and continue with the rubble, but then Yuri does something and..

He blinks blankly at the offered hand for a moment, his hair unhelpfully in his face. Right. Okay.

Duke straightens and dusts his own hands off, before reaching over for a short handshake.

"I'll find some way to do so." 'I'll find you' sounded perhaps a bit too knowing of Yuri's habits, but there were other methods and he might as well leave wandering up to him as an option.

There was meaning to that handshake, whether Duke picked it up or not. Yuri wasn't a man of many words, especially when it came to his feelings. But he knew he had been kinda a pain, and Duke had been nothing but helpful since they'd gotten here. Thus the gesture was a suggested truce, a promise that Yuri would put aside any lingering animosity. Their goal here was the same after all.

Once the handshake was done, Yuri put his hand on his hip and nodded. "Right."

Duke mostly read it as 'lets work together', so he'll be pleasantly surprised later. Maybe.

Duke's hand just goes back to his side, as usual. "It might be a week or so before I'm comfortable testing at... sector size?" He could get an idea of the cost then, if he tests it at that size after making sure it does what he wants. "... so do not expect much before then." He's going to be very thorough.

"Sure, no problem."

That'll give them some time to get this mess cleaned up anyway. Just as long as it happened before those Chihuleans get here.

Duke blinks once, a little startled, but just nods a little and goes back to dealing with rubble.

If he's a little slower than he was at the start, it's because he's multitasking.

Yuri goes back to his own work too, leaving the quiet guy to his quietness.
