[ACCIDENTAL VOICE/VIDEO]

[The journal starts recording during what sounds like the middle of an incredibly loud SPLASH - or possibly a dive gone horribly wrong. Whatever the case may be, its camera doesn't seem to be picking up anything particularly interesting at the moment, aside from the treeline as seen from the lakeside area, and maybe some

[Disoriented, tired, cold, and completely soaked, Yuri doesn't quite pick up on where Estelle's voice just came from, warranting a quiet--] ... Huh? Estelle? [--and a pause that lasts a good five seconds or so.

Shortly after that, he'll finally make an appearance on the journal. He doesn't respond right away, though. In fact, he looks and sounds incredibly confused.]

Uh ... Yeah. I'm all right ... [... Sort of, anyway. There's an odd pause, as if he's got a good fifty or so questions to ask but can't figure out how to word them. That look of "what the hell is going on" doesn't seem to be going away, either.]

[Emil usually only sort of keeps an ear open for New Feathers over the journal-- he's always willing to go help, but it's not like he's glued to the journal watching or anything.

But there's no mistaking that voice.]

... Y-Yuri?!

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

[Who the hell was that and why did they sound familiar somehow.]

... Good guess. And you are?

[No seriously who are you, he doesn't like blanking on a name to this extent.]

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

[This does not sound promising, and Emil droops, though Yuri can't exactly see it.]

... I'm Emil. Don't... don't you remember me?

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

Emil ...

[... Wait. Some blond kid, wasn't it? And ...

... ugh. This was making his head hurt more than it already did.]

I can't say I remember much, but ... well, you're familiar, at least.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

I know that voice...

Yuri! You're...you're back? Where are you?

[She happens to be out on patrol, as a matter of fact]

[voice]

[once_knighted]

[Sighing now. Another one shouting out his name, huh ...]

Sorry, but I didn't bring a map with me. It must've fallen out of my pocket when I got thrown in that lake.

[That? That was some pretty heavy sarcasm. Although, a few wheels are starting to turn in that head of his, and after a quick pause--]

... Who are you, anyway?

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

...It's Sheena. [Maybe he doesn't... No, Sheena, there are more important things.]

You're at a lake? D'you know which one?

[voice]

[once_knighted]

... Sheena?

[... Some dark-haired girl. Pretty agile, too. And ...

... never mind. He'll think about the rest later. If nothing else, the sarcastic, almost annoyed tone he had earlier is replaced by a neutral, somewhat confused one.]

... No, I don't.

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

Awww, it was so nice without ya around too!

[Mainly because it meant he didn't owe his life to anyone but oh well.]

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

Good to know. I'll be sure to hang around and make things as unpleasant as I can more often.

[... All right, he was going to wait until he was indoors and could think straight, but this was really starting to bother him.]

What's with you all, anyway?

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

I don't think our situation is the priority right now. Where are you? That sounded like one hell of a splash.

[He knows someone will probably heading towards you already, but it doesn't hurt to know.]

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

That's not what I meant.

[... Sigh. Forget it. Maybe he's better off asking later. He just goes right on ahead with answering Raven's question. ... Or, well, at least trying to.]

... I'm by a lake in some forest, but that's about all I could tell you.

[fallenambitions]

[...And Alexei was just enjoying the peace and quiet down by the lake, reading a book when he heard that splash. He looks up and sees someone had landed into the lake. He stands, just in case they needed help getting out, but they seem to be doing okay getting towards the shore. And then he just frowns as he moved closer to where they had reached land. Really? Really, Luceti. You had to bring him back? ]

Yuri...how nice of you to drop back here. [Saying that in the most flattest and disinterest tone ever. Seriously, why are you back here? Go home.]

all right i'll behave now i guess

[once_knighted]

[Excuse him for a second, he's trying to breathe properly.

... Actually, never mind. He processed that voice and who it belonged to first. With that, he almost immediately forces himself to stand up, although he is pretty wobbly about it at first. Sorry, but the last person he's going to allow himself to be weak around is you.]

Alexei ... [... But wait. That can't be right. Alexei's supposed to be ...]

You better, or I'll send Uroburos on you

[fallenambitions]

[Hehe, playing tough around him right now isn't going to work. Yuri's already made it clear enough to him that he was in a weaken state.

He shouldn't be armed either if he just arrived. So he's not at all concerned about what Yuri could do.]

Ah, so you can speak. And here I thought that frigid cold water might have dampen your comprehension abilities. [Still in that mocking tone.]

[once_knighted]

[Oh Alexei. You're assuming he cares that he's not armed. You sillyface.

But right now, he knows he can't really do anything about this situation, weird as it is. ... Especially since the most off thing about it is the fact that he doesn't feel surprised at all to see Alexei alive right now.

... He'll focus on that later.]

And I figured that giant blastia would've flattened yours out completely. Too bad. [Now, he starts trying to walk away.] Now go bother someone else.
