[ It was clear that the name hadn't rung any bells for the other, and that suited Yuri just fine. James wasn't the only one who could answer questions, without really answering anything at all. ] Yeah, something like that.
[ Yuri just stares at him at the 'ninety' comment. Because seriously, what the hell. He hadn't expected the other to turn the comment back on him like he had. ]
Looking strapping, for ninety. [ He mutters it almost quiet enough to miss, before turning to the fence, gripping his spear, lowering his stance- just a little. He may not have used a spear before, but he knew a thing or two about balance and counterbalance, and the last thing he wanted was to go toppling over if something got close enough for him to have to actually stab.
It was strange; even in that moment, even as the clawed footsteps drew nearer, as a howling, screeching creature crashed over the fence, Yuri didn't feel scared. He felt disconnected, like an out of body experience- all of it still too surreal to really register. Time seemed to slow down. The wall was breached. It wasn't just one monster anymore, another followed, and then another. Yuri didn't really think- he only acted. Snarling like the tiger he had claimed to be, and launching forward. ]
