"Always so confident," she laughed. He had no idea what she had on her mind, did he? If so, she was sure he wouldn't have answered in that fashion. The man was unflappable, something she appreciated. But it was also something of a challenge too. Perhaps this time she'd manage to get him at a loss for words.

"It has nothing to do with the Calamity. It's just something I don't think we'll get around to otherwise, the way things are going. So I hope you are prepared."

Even if he wasn't, Elsa was ready. Her gloved hand covered his, fingers curling around the edge of his palm. But before he'd have much of a chance to react to that, she leaned in and stole a kiss. She lingered just long enough that it couldn't be considered a peck, but had no intention of overstaying her welcome. She withdrew slowly, eyes still closed, and smiled with pure satisfaction.

"There," she exhaled, and released his hand. "That is all I wished for. You still want nothing in return?" she grinned mischievously.

"Naturally. That's my best trait don't you know?" he replied with a chuckle to her as she said that. He probably didn't but it's not like he'd be disturbed by anything she has to say. He's pretty accepting to others and none of that had changed since. He's always been the same ol' Yuri with the same ol' attitude, sass and all.

"You make it sound like it's a bad choice on my part for saying yes,"

He replied raising a brow at her as she grasped his hand in her and curling around his palm. He's not quite sure what she's trying to do but he watches her quietly waiting for an answer if anything. Instead of the answer, he gets a kiss on his lips out of nowhere as she leaned forward. There's an almost surprised look on his face at her sudden action, but there was no trace of embarrassment or bashfulness at the finish of it. He seemed a little lost, unsure what to say for a moment but eventually, he simply brushed it off. She's bold. He gave her that.

"You're the type to take what she wants-- but we both knew that."

He replied after a moment. A smile graced his lips. As taken back as it had been, he didn't take it to heart too much, "None at all. There's honestly nothing I want or need right now."

Though, he wasn't going to impose other things on her in regards to what he wanted.

"Well that's a shame," she said dryly, smirking. Not that she really expected much. Elsa gazed out at the canyon below their vantage point, admiring the view for just a little longer. It was a necessary indulgence.

"The world is going to hell, but I am at peace. I know I have done all that I was able. There is nothing left to regret. I sense this is the case with you too." The last sliver of the sun disappeared behind the mountains, and she lowered her head with one faint chuckle before she pushed herself up to her feet.

"You believed in me when I was at my worst. It is because you persisted that I can stand here now without guilt or remorse. That is a grand gift I cannot repay." The gravel crunched under her boots as she turned toward him and cocked her head to the side with her usual crooked smile. "You should ask for things. I do not think I am the only one who wishes to show gratitude for what you've done, even if you do not want it." She walked past him, pausing only to pat Repede. "Even kissing felt like it was more for my satisfaction than yours. I must go and make preparations."

Elsa turned away and began picking out her path. "Be careful out there. When it all ends, I hope we are still standing side by side."

She at least won points for catching him off guard. She could leave with that at the very least. Yuri shook his head at her words. It was strange how many people had been attracted to him as a person. He wasn't expecting so many to be as bold. Elsa was definitely the type of person that would do just that.

"In more ways than one, I suppose. Of course, there's no point in regretting on what couldn't have been done. The world is slowly dying and we're stuck in a hole trying to get out of it."

He replied shrugging some at her laughter. The sun finally vanished and darkness had enveloped the sky. The night sky filled with sparkling stars wasn't so bad either. Yuri looked up on it for a moment before getting to his feet following her example.

The vigilante chuckled at her comment, "You don't need to pay me for anything. I did what was necessary and what was right on my justice. It doesn't matter if I get credit for it or not. I'm not doing it to be well known you know?"

He replied as Repede shifted to his side.

"I suppose you could say that. I've got all I need and there's nothing else I want other than to restore peace to this world so we can all get the hell out of here and back to our respected places. We all have things to accomplish elsewhere."

He replied as he started walking in the opposite direction, "Heh, you bet your pretty little head that we will. Now, don't go dying on me, or else I'll really be pissed," there was a long pause before he added, "Be careful."

With that he disappeared into the darkness.
