Yuri took a moment to realize what she was doing but when he did find out, he couldn't help but start laughing. This was too much. She was a rude, demanding and bossy individual who happened to be a clearly innocent and delicate princess. He can't take this anymore. It takes him a few more minutes to actually calm down from laughing at her. He didn't any harm by his words but he surely did cause some weird reactions from her. Maybe she thought he meant something else?

Was that why she was checking him out? Oh, man what a day this turned out to be. He's still trying soften the laughing to a few chuckles so he could wipe the tears from his eyes.

"Right, change the subject when it suits you, Princess.."

He still followed her in the end as he found the whole thing much more amusing than it should be. Back to the battle-- Yuri waits for Natalia to make her moves before following up with quick attacks and moving back so he didn't get caught in the crossfire with the monster. He didn't need all those weird status ailments attacking him.

"Wh-Whoa!"

That was really close as he barely dodges the tendrils that swung at him. He managed to to side step that barely.
