Oh, no kidding. Especially if there are non-human entities around — gods, demons, that sort of thing.
[ ... but he is not human, yuri... ]
Truly baffling, isn't it... I could not possibly imagine what it must take to overpower such great forces to the point that they are reduced to naught.

[ that’s why gods and demons were specified! ]
Good question. There must be some way of blocking abilities or the like, I’m not sure if they can literally change a person’s physical make up or any biological needs.

[ simply smh anyway ]
Regardless, 'tis been proven time and time again now why such capabilities should never be at one's hand. To think it could have practical means, and this is what it is used for...

People manage even without the powers. Or by getting their hands on other things that are available.
[ well, he's sat by the bonfire in camp looking like he's considering just walking into it. just for a moment.

Eventually someone shows up, though; it's Alphinaud offering a to-go cup (it's tea!). ]
Here. This might help.

[ imagine if he tried to knock it back like alcohol lmaaao. no he does not, he takes a siiip. ]
Mm. It’s better than… literally anything that happened in that theatre, so off to a good start.

Without a doubt. I thought I may come upon someone who could use it.

Someone should mix the flasks of the under and over drinking aged people. That would be one very interesting combination.
[ speaking of, he will hold out his own flask. ]
I won’t tell if you want something with a little more kick. [ yuri leclerc, provider of alcohol to the tiniest of baby elezen. (“he’s 19”) a child. ]

I believe you are mistaken. I am plenty old enough to retrieve spirits of my own should I desire it.

You above drinking age where you’re from then? There’s this little group of you all around the same age, and some of you can drink and some of you have been regulated to the soft drink section. Figuring it all out is turning into a full time job.

Of all matters to preoccupy yourself with, and this is the one?
I’m a talented multitasker. Is it personally going to ruin your day that I’m also making note of this?
Oh, hardly.
But since you wish to know, yes, I am—and have been since I were sixteen summers of age.

There we go then. As long as I’m not thinking about pens in ears, everyone’s happy.
[ huh. ]
That’s surprisingly young.

[ Yeah, let's not... think about that! ]
Is it? 'Tis the age of adulthood in my homeland, and none in my travels have ever thought twice of it.

In some places age of authority is …. around 20, I think? I don’t have a duchy to inherit, so I wouldn’t know when I’d be able to take it over if my hypothetical father died.
I’m assuming, as with many other things, this varies from place to place.

[ yeet us into (throws dice) the café. i just think it's Neat. ]
Exploring as well?
[ yuri certainly seems to have been exploring well. he has a cup of something warm and steaming in front of him, and a pastry on a plate in from of him. it's flaky, and covered in powdered sugar and flaked almonds. he looks at it a little blankly. ]
Fancy looking, isn't it? More the sort of thing I'd expect to see offered at the Academy.

Indeed. There is plenty to see around here.
[ Alphinaud looks curiously at the foodstuffs. ]
You do not oft have pastries?

Oh we get fed pretty well at the academy, but little things like this tend to not be common. You have a main meal -- something that'll get you through classes and training.
Or skirmishes, as it was before I came here.

Hm... I can see how that would get in the way. 'Twould appear you are now welcome to all the pastries you could possibly handle, at least?
Naturally. I find that my world in particular differs greatly from most I speak to, so I am quite used to it by now.
Until I go back to the hotel, sure.
[ tragic really. ] I’m sure I’ll manage regardless. Did you come here for food, or are you just exploring?

Yes, I’m running into that for the first time myself.
