What mattered to Yuri was getting the job done in a timely manner that did not involve innocent people or other unrelated parties. He felt that it was the worst kind of thing someone can do to others was to instill their judgement on those individuals unfairly. In any case, he wasn't going to argue with Natalia over his views. He left the argument at that.

She could protest all she wanted but it wasn't going to do her any good trying to resist what he's trying to do in the first place. Yuri just didn't care about what people had to say to him. Image wasn't everything. While he did have his pride, he didn't let it control him as a person.

"You should try it sometime. We're in a world completely different from our own. Doesn't matter what kind of person you were in your world. What matters is what you want to do here. There's no one to tell you what to do. You've already more or less made that statement haven't you? Why let it others judgement cloud your resolve?"

He mused looking back at her as he plopped himself in the couch comfortably, letting his hands fall behind his neck and his shoe less feet on the couch.

Yuri laughed at her response. Well, maybe he went too far since it was joke, "Don't worry I'm used to sleeping on the ground and in stacks of hay. this probably the best I've got right now."

Again he dismissed the argument.

"No one said anything about being a dog. I used to sleep with Repede all the time like this on the floor. He's a dog too you know? You shouldn't insult him. He's got his pride."

Yes, he was teasing her even more for that. Yuri confirmed it once more so she would stop, "Yeah, don't sweat it. Just rest."
