YaoiPrincess: Hi guys! It has been a while…I'm so sorry! Also, this skit will be like a sequel to the very first one, where Yuri becomes depressed, so it will be a little angsty, or sad, or tragic, but mostly angsty. I got this idea after watching Tales of Vesperia The First Strike. For this, Shizontania will be on the map, even though it is not in the game. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but plot.

Skit 8: Memorial for a Dog

Warnings: Characters may be OOC. Yuri is DEFINITELY OOC.

…

Yuri: *sigh*

Flynn: Yuri…

Guy: Is something wrong with Yuri?

Repede: *whine*

Flynn: Well, we are in Shizontania…

Guy: That doesn't answer my question…

Flynn: Hmmm. Well, basically, Yuri supposedly comes here every year to mourn-er-celebrate a friend's death.

Guy: Oh. Ok.

Yuri: We're here. *kneels down and touches the gravestone* Hey, long time no see, eh? I've been pretty busy with the guild business, so, sorry for not coming to see you.

Repede: *whine, bark*

Yuri: *beckons for Repede* This is Repede. Rremeber him? He looks more and more like you by the year…

Flynn: …

Guy: …

Yuri: …I'm sorry. I know I should stop apologizing, but I can't help it. I cut you, a fellow knight, down. Me. I just can't forgive myself for what happened. Maybe I never will. Repede still forgives me, but still…

Flynn: Yuri…don't push yourself.

Yuri: *whispers* Lambert…if you can hear me, please, forgive me. You might be tired of hearing me say this, but, even after all this time, I'm still sorry. But I had no choice. The only option I saw was to kill you. I sometimes berate myself for not thinking of another way. I'm sorry. *starts to cry silently*

Guy: …Lambert?

Flynn: *walks up to Yuri and hugs him* It's ok Yuri. How many times do I- we- have to tell you. It's not your fault.

Repede: *bark*

Flynn: See? Repede says so also. Don't beat yourself over it, 'kay?

Yuri: *breathes deeply* Sure. *stops crying* Alright then. Shall we go?

Guy: Ok…Are you sure you're ok Yuri?

Yuri: Yeah! After that embarrassing scene, I feel refreshed. Actually, I think I feel much better than all the other times I've been here.

Flynn: Maybe because you finally let it all out.

Yuri: Yeah, maybe.

Guy: Oh, sorry to intrude, but…who is Lambert?

Flynn: …

Yuri: …

Guy: Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pry…

Flynn: No. It's ok. We did drag you to this "mission", so you have a right to know.

Yuri: Lambert is a dog and a proud member of the Imperial knights while Shizontania was still an official town of the Empire. He was also Repede's father.

Guy: Oh.

Yuri: Well, no point standing around, moping. Let's go back!

Flynn/Guy/Repede: Ok/Alright/*bark*

… The End

YaoiPrincess: Ugh! This was the hardest skit to write! Yuri is so hard. Guy, too I guess, since I only take little snippets of Guy's character from other stories or skits from the game. Hope it wasn't too confusing. If it was, then just ask me. Please review!
