"Correct," Yuri answered, the hint of a smile playing upon the edges of his lips. Whether he attributed Dorian's guess to his being clever and good with deductive reasoning, or whether it was because he thought Dorian considered him poor at taking care of others, he did not say.

Which perhaps explained why he was rusty with care-giving. Empathy was not his strong suit. He could provide financially, offer one a roof, cook elaborate and healthy meals for them, entertain through his flair for the arts, but on an emotional level? Yuri was lackluster and inadequate. He had difficulty connecting with anyone. Or simply just refused to allow himself to.

Crossing one leg over the other and resting his arm along the back of the sofa, Yuri encouraged Dorian with a nod of his head and a softly spoken, "Your turn."
