[ When the video clicks on, Yuri is sitting back, frowning a little, one eye shadowed by the long fall of his blond hair, lips pursed thin. Sighing softly, he glances down, off screen for a moment, expression softening. Probably looking at one of the cats, before his gaze clips back up. He's propped up against the couch in his and Otabek's apartment, the sweater hanging off him obviously not one of his own. But what was the point of being boyfriends if you couldn't steal their comfy sweaters? ]

So. Awhile back, the portal people showed up at my door. [ His lips purse tighter still, something conflicted in his expression, before he shifts his grasp on his phone, the camera shaking and jostling appropriately as he switches from one hand to the other. When it settles again, Yuri has slumped even deeper into the couch, and Potya's ear can be seen in the lower corner of the camera's view, Yuri's free hand absently, softly stroking between her ears. ]

They said I could go home, and maybe it'll piss some people here off- but I said no. [ He scowls then, tilting his head back a little, as if just daring anyone to say shit about his decision. It was his, after all. ] It's not all bad here, I don't always understand all of the bitching and moaning and whining you people do about it. Nobody has turned up so much as a speck of evidence in the year I've been here to say there was anything malicious about our arrival, no one purposefully worked to kidnap us. So I think it's time some of you pulled that wad of knotted panties out of your ass and took off your tinfoil hats. Sometimes an inter-dimensional accident is just that, and not the plot to invasion of the body snatchers or some shit like that.

[ He rolls his visible eye, blowing out a breath and huffing his bangs back, giving a brief glimpse of the other, before his hair falls back into place. ]

So anyway. I'm curious- if you were told you could go home tomorrow... would you do it? Or would you stay a little while longer? Do you think I made a mistake?

[ Yuri stops petting Potya, dropping his head on his hand and staring at the camera for a moment longer. He doesn't really give a shit whether or not people think he made a mistake; he's happy with his decision. He's just a little curious what other people out there think. ]

Well, they say nothing will have changed when we go back, so... I don't really see the harm. Like pausing a- a television, right? [It makes some sense to him, anyway. And he generally believes the officials and the Perimeter Guard. What reason would they have to lie?] So you can start it back up when you're ready.

[It's life's metaphorical popcorn break. Not that he could really make the reference.] I understand that. Definitely. I've learned a lot here, and there's still so much more to discover. It's an amazing opportunity.

Yeah. So they say, and I haven't been given any reason to believe that they aren't telling the truth about it. After all, they've been telling the truth about everything else so far, so. [ He shrugged. ]

A lot of people seem to try really hard to make them out to be something they're not; to act like they're the most evil organization ever and it just... seems ridiculous to me at this point. But man, whatever. Hater's gonna hate, right.

I feel like... that's really the best part of being here. It's shitty to get pulled from home against your will, but it's not like they've thrown us all onto the streets to starve. And I've been able to meet people I never would have otherwise. That's pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

Right, they've been pretty straight-forward about things. I don't know what reason they would have to lie. [But then again, Hiccup always wants to see the best in people, and assume the best of everyone he can.] It's not like this is a kidnapping. Er, by people anyway. With intent. The portal is a natural fixture, they explained that.

Yeah, it is really cool. I've seen a lot of things way beyond my time.
