( 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?
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???]
to no answer other than ??? (im mad my reply here was eaten twice)
( oh, sure, bat his hands away. it means he does try to pinch her cheeks again, since his backdrop of responses to things like this pretty much circle around to what his grandfather's done; when she's tucked her face into his shoulder, he rolls his eyes skyward, awkwardly settling a hand at her side, the other across her back.
he pats her once, thump, as a reminder. )
You rushed in and you're lucky you weren't injured, is what you mean. Shit, how much of that was happening?
( to all of them. to dark caves and insect ridden swamps with alligatorcrocs and frogdogs and houses that aim to kill with the death that's already lingering. )
Will you slow down some? You're kick ass, but you don't need to do everything on your own. ( he pauses, breathing out in a ghost of a laugh. ) Which is rich coming from me, I get it, but come on, Nastenka.
( he doesn't look appeased, but he's... not sure how much of the past he's ever wanted to hold on to, especially when they have so many complications around the concept alone these days. )
I'll be mad if I'm mad. ( he points out, huffing and looking down. ) I'm more glad you're okay. Just... think sometimes before rushing the ell in. Knowing where you need to go and getting hurt going there when you don't need to isn't good planning, it's just dumb.
( he had to learn that lesson on his own. the stone lion, off to the side, sedately gazes on them... the settles in for a cat nap. )
[Lectured as soon as they're together again. Anya just pouts for a little bit longer even as she meets his gaze before eventually settling on a thoughtful little hum.]
It is how Yuratchka shows he is worried....
[yet another translation to be done, goodness]
I will try to think more, so you do not need to worry. I did not mean to...
( he sighs, partly resigned, partly because he knows she sometimes doesn't mean what she does, but not thinking things through, which... was one of his own faults, tended to lead her toward unexpected and undesireable results. )
I show I'm worried in a bunch of different ways, okay. ( but she's right -- that's one of them. in the end... he doesn't know what to do, so he pats her shoulder. this.
why did you want to date this? seriously??? )
It's not me worrying that I'm worried about. There's a lot of stuff you can not mean to do, but when you do it, it's been done. ... I'm way too tired to make this make sense right now.
a shoulder pat???? she blinks a few times before... giggling?? yeah she's laughing, at least making an attempt at politeness by glancing away as she giggles.]
Yuratchka can still touch me normally, you know....
[awkward shoulder pats why....
but anyway, she's just going to shake her head and reach up to brush his bangs away again before giving him a smile]
Still.... oтдых. Time for rest for Yuratchka. I will walk with you to your apartment.

Anya just does a small little mumble even as she peers up at him once she thinks that he's done scolding her.]
Mm.... I was with others... but - простой. It is what was ahead. I thought it was clear. Do not be mad, we got where we needed to go.
[in a pretty wild way but
y'know. she's a straightforward person and chances of that changing are slim]
