[ Yosuke isn't always known for his tact and tends to, in most situations, let his feelings sit right on his sleeve. How is he supposed to react to seeing...whatever the hell that was? It didn't even have a face!

Despite all this, when Yu offers his hand, Yosuke doesn't hesitate to take it. What freaked him out was the thing, after all--not his friend. ]

But how did you--did you know it would do that? That it would show up when you did the thing?

[covenantal]

[ Yu will tug Yosuke to his feet, making sure his friend is steady before releasing his hand. At that point, he'll just kind of shrug helplessly. ]

It was ... a feeling. Like there was something I could do, and if I just tried it...

[ He frowns deeply. ]

So ... yes, but also, no. I don't really know what I'm doing. Just ... whatever comes naturally.

[youraffection]

[ He's really not sure he gets this exactly. "A feeling"...? A feeling that he could do something as crazy amazing as that? ]

That's...

[ Shit, what is it? ]

...I-I don't even know what to say. Like, first Yukiko, then you...can Souji do it too?

[covenantal]

[ Ah.

Yu's gaze slides off Yosuke's face like water glancing off glass. It might almost seem natural. ]

I don't know. [ Tilts his head slightly. ] Though, chances are that if I can do it, Souji will be able to do it, too.

[ His chest feels carved out. Like... he's been running for hours, even though he hasn't. It's awful, to feel this exhausted so suddenly, but he gives very little sign of his fatigue. ]

[youraffection]

That's so crazy...

[ Which probably has implications that he doesn't mean. ]

You guys are all getting superpowers...

[ Nothing to be jealous of, though.

Right? ]

[covenantal]

... you guys?

[ Tilts his head, in that way he does when he's curious about something but not really showing it otherwise. ]

[youraffection]

Yeah--you, Yukiko, Eleanor...why is that?

[covenantal]

[ Gives him a sort of blank look. ]

Are you worried you won't get powers of your own?

[youraffection]

Th--

[ Shit... ]

...It sounds kinda lame when you actually say it.

[covenantal]

[ If he doesn't sit down soon, he might fall over... his energy from summoning Mada is coming back slower than he'd hoped...

He swallows against the feeling and tries his best to look encouraging, smiling a little. ]

It's not. Yosuke, you're one of us, aren't you? Your part of this group. Chances are you'll end up sharing the same powers we do. Until then, you're already enough. You don't need to worry about something like that.

[youraffection]

[ Admitting that, as strange as it is, he is a little jealous...it sucks. ]

No, it's--

[ He sighs. ]

Weird shit is happening and I'm wasting my energy being jealous of you guys rather than trying to help. That's pretty shitty of me, right?

[ Which is why he's able to take a mental step back and really look at Yu... ]

...You okay?

[covenantal]

[ Without thinking, Yu responds to that last question, shaking his head a little as he says: ]

No, I'm--

[ Except even the motion of shaking his head was a bad idea. With a soft sound he cups his head in his hand, pitching a step forward before he regains his balance. He stays on his feet, but seems a little unsteady. ]

[youraffection]

[ Well that just won't do. Yosuke reaches out, putting his hand on Yu's shoulder. ]

Hold on there--here, let's take a seat.

[ There's no bench nearby with the path they've taken, but there is a stump. Yosuke keeps one hand on Yu and the other on his bike as he walks both over to the side. ]
