[ Yuri has spent a long time always having to worry about his public image; about what people might see or think of his actions in public. He's also done his best not to give a shit about those things- but some days are harder than others. It should have been easier to forget about it when they were out in the middle of nowhere- but it was also hard to turn that sense of expectation off as well. It was part of why Yuri acted out so much; because he knew people were watching. ]

No thanks, not for me. [ He shudders. ] I already have enough shit I have to deal with so far as my health goes and keeping it in top shape. I'd rather not add animals sucking on my blood to the mix.

It's only Russian when it's voluntary. [ He snickers a little though, smiling despite himself. Okay, so maybe Bucky had him there. ]

Yeah, I've been. But it's totally different when you're doing it on purpose and you know, relaxing. And not carrying a backpack that's like half your whole body weight. [ He was exaggerating, because of course he was, but he didn't feel like it made it any less of a valid point! ]
