still no anya and still no... well, a bunch of people! but i guess you're coming back soon, we hope?
i'm not really sure what's going on, i can't do a lot to help with my arm, but we miss all of you so make sure you come home safe!
you can't meet the kittens if you don't come home!
[cat update number 2! it's a few pics this time. he's been taking one every day.]

[this time he starts off with a picture of a white kitten trying to climb him-- by the time she sees it, the photo will show it has bright blue eyes.]
her name is Звезда! she has a cute little meow like she's trying to sing~ she reminds me of you, kind of!
everything is still kind of bad i guess but the stars are still the same every night. see?
[another photo, this time of the night sky.]
what are they like where you are? i hope they're pretty! you'll have to tell me what new constellations you found!
just come back soon, okay?

( he's tired enough that for a moment he's faced with the almost overwhelming desire to fall asleep standing up, Anya carding her fingers through his hair. not even the nervousness in his stomach and his uncertainty and the frisson of excitement means anything concrete right now. they've all been through so much.
he pulls back and frowns. )
Most everyone on the network feels like they know you. Nastenka, what happened to your phone?

[don't pull back, then she has to face him when she admits it
yeah okay none of her messages went through
her eyes dart elsewhere for the first time, looking far more unsure about this than anything else - ]
It went down in the water....
[ . . . ]
... fall....
[the waterfall]

[it takes a little bit for a response - anya's phone was getting messages for one, but also she most certainly couldn't get her hands on a new phone in the middle of the battle. so she gets one eventually with her mama, and smiles softly when she sees leo's messages
even as she wipes away tears as she copes with the news of ryoji's death]
she is very pretty
just like a star
hi leo
anya is ok
are you ok ?

( here are his hands; here they come to rest on her shoulders. Yuri watches Anya's face, feeling for a moment like his grandfather. then again, he thinks that's mostly the exhaustion, because surely Yuri never darts his gaze away when he's done something stupid.
... nope, he definitely does that. )
Down in the waterfall. With you?

[anya's own texts take time to send back - if only because even after everyone has returned, her phone is still broken. it takes her time to go and get a new one with her mother and she almost cries when she reads over the messages
(does cry when she reads ryoji's)]
you do not need to say sorry
is yukine safe ?

[gently continues to sideglance]
Mm.... недобросовестный...
Anya already said this in a text to Yuratchka - you were not supposed to find out now...!
[but still she holds her hands up, as if that's meant to prove something - ]
See? Anya is okay. You do not need to worry or be mad.

I am okay.
I was in the city the whole time.
I was just in crypts, fighting monsters.
It was to make sure you could come back, Retrospec said.

i am sorry that you had to fight monsters
that sounds
scary
even if you are strong that makes anya worry

( honestly what he says tomorrow is likely true: he feels like a grandpa more than a teenager right now, and that has a lot to do with exhaustion, and a lot to do with the fact that he's worked himself up to an awkward caveat for saying yes I'll attempt to be datable with you only to realise, again, one of his best friends (... his girlfriend) has zero sense of self preservation.
so he's ignoring her held up hands and reaching out to pinch her cheeks, mostly gently, with both his hands. )
I'll always freaking worry, and no shit I'm mad! I care about what happens to you! Especially when you don't try keeping yourself safe! Were you being careful, or were you acting like nothing in the world could really hurt you, Na-sten-ka?

[a;lajksf
Anya doesn't quite accept that - she moves her hands to try to bat his away so that he doesn't pinch her cheeks? She can't even answer like that, Yuri... Then it's a firm shake of her head.]
Careful...!
[ . . . crossing a river after some monkeys.]
I had to follow monkeys, there was not enough time...
Цель! We still made it to the place we needed to go...
[and honestly if he tries to pinch her cheeks again she's just gonna bury her face in his shoulder so he doesn't?? do that again???]

i do not but i hope i get to meet him too
be there soon
[And despite her own sadness, Anya's steps take her toward the dorms. It's the least that she owes Leo, she thinks. She wants to see him and the kittens too, after all.]

It was.
It's fine. It cannot have been as scary as where you were.
I used my magic. The monsters didn't have a chance.
What about you, Anya? Where were you?

[and leo will meet her at the door with the little white kitten he'd showed her held carefully in one arm; the other is in a cast, but there's still a bright smile on his face as soon as he sets eyes on her.]
Anya!! Come in, come in~ I'd give you a hug but I don't want to squish her! Ah, here-
[here anya, take the kitten so he has his good arm back, he's just gonna pass her over.]

Not strong just lucky.
Sounds like you had a busy time.
You had reliable people with you, right?
