[ Take it while it lasts before Repede goes back to his usual self. He knows she needs it so he's being nice to her because she takes good care of him sometimes when Yuri can't. ]

Close enough right?

[ He replied giving her a small smile. She isn't but Yuri is good at reading people so he will naturally pick up her vibes without her really showing them off. It's a talent and a curse for him when it comes to people. At least, he can gauge clearly with Rukia and the place that she's in right now. He keeps his distance from her to give her space but he doesn't hide that he's concerned. ]

It happens with the old man. He comes and goes as he pleases, even more easily than I do. He quite quick on his feet if you think about it. I get what you mean though. Doesn't mean that you don't feel anything about it right?

[ He gave Rukia a side glance as she said those words. ]

I figured it was something like that from the start. In any case, don't let it get you down too much. As cold as it sounds, I'm pretty sure the old man wants you to cheer up and have a good time for him when he can't right? So you just got to keep pressing forward and hopefully he'll be saved that way.

[ He wants to believe that wholeheartedly. ]

This place allows you to experience a lot of different things. Heh.
