[ Yusuke still bows, even here, where it is more often than not met with a quirked eyebrow and an awkward attempt at a handshake by the Americans. Still, he was raised to be quiet and polite, so Yuuri gets a bow in return, a slightly awkward one given the coffee in both hands, but it's adequate. He kicks off his shoes, nudging them with his feet so that they're together and mostly neat by the door. ]
Likewise, Katsuki-san. Sitting would be ideal. I brought you some coffee. I do not wish to distress you, but you might need it.
[ Because that's certainly doing good things for his blood pressure, though he just accepts the offer of coffee with a slightly strained smile before leading the way into the sitting area. Yuuri wants Yusuke to be as comfortable as possible, since he is a guest, but all of this weird secrecy has stressed him out a bit more than usual. He lets him sit first though—wherever he prefers. ]
So, um... [ He glances down at the floor for a moment. ] What did you want to talk about?
[ Yusuke takes a corner seat on the couch, where he can prop his elbow on the armrest and rest his chin against his knuckles. He's quiet for a moment, letting himself get comfortable, letting Yuuri get comfortable (or, as close as he can manage), before he says anything more. He scratches the back of his ear, rougher than it would be if it were just an ordinary itch, a common enough anxious tick by now that he barely notices he's doing it.
There's no gentle way to say this, but Yuri cares about this man, so Yusuke can try. His words come out calmly, softly, as if reading a recipe or a weather forecast and not...this. ]
I trust that you know Adachi by now? He and I have infiltrated a criminal organization known as the Constellation. Your fiance is a person of interest to them, because they caught Adachi talking to him about it. Secrecy is very important to them, you see.
[ Yusuke takes a long sip from his coffee, before setting it down on the table and leaning forward. ]
Yuri knows all about it, as well, but I have no reason to believe that either of them are in any danger at this time. My report described Viktor as careless, but non-threatening, and it seems that the leader believes it.
[ Yuuri is probably as comfortable as he's going to get considering he doesn't actually feel all that comfortable. Whatever Yusuke might say isn't making him relaxed, and he sits the exact same way—body mostly stiff with his hands resting on his thighs. He notices the slight movement in the other boy but thinks nothing of it because he thinks his heart just slid right out of his chest and has crawled away to some place unknown. Except that's not true because he can still hear it pounding loudly in his ears, and it makes it difficult to swallow, staring at the cup he'd set on the table just shortly before sitting and then staring at Yusuke. ]
I... [ Where does he even start? It's like his brain is going to explode from trying to sort all of this out. ] I don't understand. Why would you want to do something like that? Why would-- [ He frowns. Everyone knows about this but him??? ] Is someone in trouble?
[ He knows what Yusuke said, but there has to be a real reason behind this. Right? ]
The goal is to take them down from the inside, collect information until we have enough to expose them.
[ But why? For Yusuke, the knowledge that these people had hurt others, and planned to continue doing so would be enough to answer that question. The normalcy that Yuri and the other skaters are used to, at least as far as criminal activity and supernatural threats are concerned, is always on Yusuke's mind. He doesn't want to take that away from them, but this world will do it whether he interferes with the timing or not. It is better, in his opinion, to be prepared. ]
I am doing it because they are the worst kind of liars. They push an agenda of togetherness and righteous resistance, and then distort it to justify hurting people. Adachi is, presumably, seeking redemption. I can't speak for him.
[ Yusuke takes the coffee cup in his hands again, tapping his fingers against the side. ]
Nobody is in trouble right now. I only thought you should know about it, in case that changes. I can protect them, but it is better for all of us if nobody is in the dark.
