I don't see him. [So it's fine. Not a big deal unless he starts talking to a lot of people about it.
And it's a damned lucky thing he didn't find out her secrets.
Hey Yuri. What's that around your wrist? Interesting accessories catch her attention like...well, like shiny things attract birds. It's an apt name, okay?]
[... He's kind of hesitant to do that, and he looks it. But if she's just looking at it, it should be fine ... Sokka wouldn't let her work here if she were some suspicious person, anyway. Hopefully.]
... All right, but be careful with it. It's not something that can be replaced here.
[With that, he'll fiddle with the blastia for a few seconds before unlatching part of it - it seems it's really a thinner, flatter bracelet of sorts attached to a much bulkier one, in the end. Thanks for making that kind of complicated to figure out, First Strike! He'll hand it over to her after that.]
[She just scowls at him. Does he think she would do something to it? Wanting to admire a piece of work is not the same as taking a hammer to the metal!
At first she holds it in both hands, turning it over to study the design. Then, looking at him just once, she clicks the clasp around her own wrist...and frowns.]
It lets people use different kinds of-- ... [... artes. Right. She wouldn't know. Uh.] ... Well, let's call it "magic, and magic-looking skills" for now. [ ... ] It's nothing you'd want to test indoors, either.
[Yuri knows jack about how blastia actually works, aside from "it needs a core", but there are some small things he does know that he can correct her on.]
More or less, but it isn't as simple as that. The core isn't actually made of crystal, and there's a lot of forumlas involved, too. I think you're right about the metal part, though.
[Good thing Rita isn't around to hear this. She'd probably cry a little.]

Unless it's something weird.

[Something turns her bland expression into a hard frown.]
Why did Sokka tell you about me?
[August 25th, Action]
[August 25th, Action]
[Should be clear from her tone what she thinks of him, and the stuff he said about her body.]
[August 25th, Action]
Oh, so you've met him already. I'd apologize, but that'd make it sound like I'm responsible for him somehow, so ...
[August 25th, Action]
[If here deadpan delivery wasn't so stellar, she might need to look up from whatever she's got her hands on to get the point across.]
[August 25th, Action]
[... If it's what he thinks it is, maybe he should apologize after all.]
[August 25th, Action]
[August 25th, Action]
I can only imagine how that must've gone ... [sigh] Sorry you had to deal with him like that. If he bothers you again or anything, let me know.

And it's a damned lucky thing he didn't find out her secrets.
Hey Yuri. What's that around your wrist? Interesting accessories catch her attention like...well, like shiny things attract birds. It's an apt name, okay?]
What's that?
[August 25th, Action]
[Looking at where she's looking ... Oh. He'll lift his wrist a little so she can get a better look at it.]
It's called a blastia. It's something from my world that helps me out with any fights I get into.
[August 25th, Action]
[Meaning take it off, Yuri. When you think about making something you look at examples with your hands.]
[August 25th, Action]
... All right, but be careful with it. It's not something that can be replaced here.

What does it do? [Feels weird.]
[August 25th, Action]
[August 25th, Action]
If it breaks I can try to fix it.
[August 25th, Action]
You've dealt with things like this before?
[August 25th, Action]
[August 25th, Action]
[August 25th, Action]
[There's a finality in her tone that would suggest, Yuri, that this isn't a question. He may correct her anyway.]
[August 25th, Action]

[Good thing Rita isn't around to hear this. She'd probably cry a little.]
[August 25th, Action]
[The core/crystal part, obviously. She wants to know how workable it is.]
[August 25th, Action]
Probably? [Might as well admit something before she thinks he's just being a jerk about it.] Sorry, I don't really know very much about it.
[August 25th, Action]
[The concept is interesting, and maybe she can try something like it with more straightforward crystals. If any ever arrive.]
