To all of what's being said, he offers a noise of acknowledgement. It's information that he wants, and it's telling him part of what he needs to know. He knows without needing to hear it that Yuri is a hard worker. Has been, though he really pushed himself after realising his own lacks this last season.
Which he supposes has happened all over again. He runs a hand through his hair as he keeps pace, leaving his palm against his forehead. )
