[... "Just a few hours ago"? What-- oh. Oh. Despite himself, Yusuke can't quite restrain the look of mixed surprise and exasperation that suddenly crosses his face when Jin makes this comment, because with it comes a somewhat irritating revelation: Jin is from the past. He must be, because before Yusuke had been brought here by god-knows-what, it'd been a few weeks since he'd last seen Jin. Of course, with that in mind, it's difficult to get too bent out of shape about the inevitably convoluted conversation coming - after all, he's pretty excited about Jin being here either way, even in spite of all this time-travelling sci-fi fuckery - but... still. Still. Dammit, Johto, can't things just be simple for once?
There's a short, but fairly noticeable pause on Yusuke's end before he speaks again, a stretch of time that is, without a doubt, the longest he's ever spent in his life responding to someone asking for a fight. He doesn't keep Jin waiting any longer than that, however; once his brain has had a chance to catch up to the rest of what his favorite windy dude said, Yusuke snaps back to attention and seems to perks up a little, a grin that looks much like the one Jin's giving him spreading across his face. TWINS.]
--yeah! Yeah, sure thing. Just do me a favor and don't make it as easy for me to kick your ass this time, all right?
[JUST KIDDING. Anyone who'd watched their fight would know it'd been a rough one, and given that Yusuke, you know, actually participated in it and all, he's probably the absolute last person who would seriously underestimate Jin's capabilities in a fight. He's just being a good friend and giving him a little shit, is all; he's actually pretty intrigued by the thought of getting to fight Jin while he's completely grounded. Dude can seriously throw a punch.]
I'm in Violet City. It's about a week's walk away from where you are. You better watch out for the giant purple rats on your way here, by the way: they're not as strong as some of the monsters in this place, but they'll bite the shit outta you if you give 'em half a chance.
Oh, and uh... don't kick any trees, either. The bugs'll try to kill you, too.
[>:I Fucking murderbugs. Don't get him wrong, Yusuke has no doubt that Jin can take care of himself and all that, but as a friend, he figures it'd only be courteous of him to give the guy a heads-up so he knows what's waiting for him out there in the stupid wilderness. HE'S GOT YOU, JIN-BRO. No worries!
And with those warnings duly delivered, Yusuke supposes it's about time to get to the, ah, potentially Really Awkward part of the conversation. Great. HERE WE GO...!!]
... sooo, I... guess this means the Dark Tournament's still going on for you, huh?
[... THAT - came out a lot more cryptic than he'd intended, actually, but whatever, he'll leave it. He seriously would really like to know where this persistent feeling of deja vu is coming from, though... like, what the hell, did he eat something funny recently or what? God knows where the frig Johto people get their meat.]
