[ Well, that's one way to sober up a conversation, isn't it. Leonard lets the words linger, pausing only for a moment before he goes back to finishing up Yuri's vitals. He can tell the kid is exhausted, and can tell these experiments are doing more than just taking a toll on his body.
Killing thralls is awful, of course. But Yuri is practically a child. Anything he may have done or not done is, in Leonard's mind, undoubtedly a fault of his circumstances rather than Yuri's own. ]
Well, that's pretty fucked up.
[ Yeah, that's his response. Bones sets a hand on Yuri's shoulder, his touch gentle. Careful. He knows he won't get anywhere by telling Yuri it wasn't his fault though. ]
Whatever happened, you're here now. And the thralls here -- they don't have a choice either. Sometimes you gotta take the least-shitty decision out of a series of really shit options.
