Yuri isn't one to socialize, and he especially isn't one to attend large gatherings that involve socialization unless he's forced to. A slumber party isn't something he has any interest in -- he has his own bed, thank you, and his own private room. That's more than enough for him. He's perfectly happy sleeping away from other people (and in fact relishes it, even though with all the classes he's taking and tests being run by his Maker means he doesn't get much time to do it).
A slumber party, to an antisocial depression-napper such as himself, is like a living hell. And Bones dragged him to one.
That's why he's taken up residence at the very edge of the gathering, as far away from all of it as possible, in some dark corner by himself. That's also why he's looking up from his book whenever he spots Bones, so he can give him his most vicious I'm-going-to-murder-you-in-your-sleep glare that he can muster.
Aside from that he's focusing on trying to just get through the damn night without dying of oversocialization. He's dressed in a plain, long-sleeved shirt and pajama pants (grey and black, utterly boring) and he's curled up on some blankets, hunched over quietly. His nose to stuck so far into his book (Frankenstein, he figures the horror-science-fiction novel is the bare minimum of participation) that it's a wonder if he's ever going to come up for air.]
[The solar eclipse and the market are a little more Yuri's speed (namely because they involve very little speaking to other people). He's read a bit about the astronomical science behind the eclipse, and he makes an effort to go out when the market is going on to do a little wandering.
He skips the card and palm readings, and while he's curious about the supposedly magical vendors, it's hard for him to approach them. Even he knows how tactless it is to walk up to someone and ask about their biology.
But it's fine. He can observe, and he even checks out some of the wares that are being sold. The Council gave them all money to spend, so why not? Most of it doesn't catch his interest, though after looking through a few stalls he eventually stops at one, picking something up.
In his hand is an absolutely knitted doll. It kind of looks like a child's interpretation of a ghost, though some people may recognize it as a traditional talisman meant to bring good weather and prevent rainy days. It's the complete opposite of anything Yuri would ever like, it's honestly kind of amazing he's even giving the thing any kind of attention.
But he is. He's glaring down at it like it's offended him.]
A New Moon Dawns/Classes
[With the new season comes new classes, and Yuri has signed up for a few rough ones. He's expecting it with Basic Compulsion, given his issues with thralls. And Lydia's class on using daggers isn't easy either, though he expected that with his lack of athleticism and all.
But Journey to Your Inner Animal, that one he didn't expect to be so difficult. Enough classes have passed that he's managed to figure out his inner animal - honestly, that part wasn't too hard. He knows himself pretty well, so he was expecting some kind of predator. An owl makes sense to him, though it would've been nice to be something larger than a screech owl....
No, he's got another issue. One he's fairly sure is related to his brain injury, but... well. On the off-chance it isn't....
(It'd be really cool to be able to fly, is all.)
He can be found in the library, a couple of ornithology books tucked under one arm. Leaning up against the stacks, he's flipping through another until he gets to the chapter on wing anatomy. Then he pauses and starts reading through, very intent.
He can also be found outside in the inner courtyard, in the evening or at dawn, sitting on the ground in complete silence with a pencil and notebook in his hands. It feels ridiculous to him, but observing some birds in flight might help.
Watching a small flock of chickadees, he scowls when some distant howling causes them to scatter.]
Tche, annoying.
