[Yuri is always armed. Always. The one day he wasn't, a giant alien squid appeared in town. He will never be unarmed again :| But ... White Lotus? That makes him slightly less suspicious. ... But only slightly.]

Huh. I see ... I take it you already know who I am, so we can skip that part. [slight pause, then--] Anyway, getting to the point -- I get that you don't trust Alexei, but that's not enough for me to go on about him to someone I just met. Is there some other reason, or is that it?
