"Huh."

Yuri didn't seem extremely surprised at the line but it did take him off guard. He didn't reply to it yet, since the situation was a sensitive one so he waited a moment while turning to Natalia who seemed to be as displeased as ever when she saw him. Not that Yuri cared or minded. Anise was his friend, and maybe a little sister to him. It was unofficial but he did rely on her for the work of Brave Vesperia sometimes.

"Hey, this isn't some drive by. I just saw her acting weird and so I followed my gut feeling. Plus, the little lady over there is a good ally of mine. I'd be a terrible person if I didn't at least try to give her a hand."

As sarcastic and dismissive as the reply sounded, Yuri was dead serious. Anise and him got along and she was a good friend. She helped him from time to time and he was returning the favor. Alas, he finally felt like he could approach the topic that was brought up. murderer.

"Not to be prying, but what do you mean by murderer?"
