Yuuir couldn't help but glance over when Cloud stepped and moved away from him. While he knew that nothing would happen, the young Maou couldn't help the momentary spike of panic that he felt within, and it was something that was shown on his expression.

There was a certain level of comfort felt when Sara took hold of his hands. The fears he felt that something might also happen to his friend were settled in that moment as he gave the other king a weak smile. It was difficult to keep the gesture there, and as Sara spoke of others who'd be willing to do the same, Yuuri felt his expression fall entirely.

Cloud's previous words floated back to mind, and he felt his chest clench painfully at the heavy reminder. "I can't stop them from doing that," His voice was quiet and thick with emotion as Yuuri tried his best to keep it a bay. If he thought too much on the sacrifices, then it would be his undoing. Shaking his head, Yuuri finally muttered, "But I don't want anyone doing something like that, especially not for me."

It was then that Yuuri was reminded of Sara's own sacrifice, and while he hadn't experienced that yet himself, it didn't stop the bout of panic as he shifted his grip to hold the other king's hands instead. "You've got to promise me that you won't do anything like that!" There was an urgency in his tone as he spoke those words. His gaze flicked over to regard Cloud, letting the blonde swordsman know that he meant him as well, before Yuuri's attention fixated itself back on Sara, "I- I don't want to lose you or anyone else that I care about - not for those reasons or any!"

Crossing his arms over his chest, Cloud remained vigilant as he remained silent listening to the pair speak. It was clear that Yuuri and the new blonde were from the same place based on the familiarity between them. Those two had the same look as he had with some of his comrades from Gaea, but he pushed down the awkward feeling.

Well, he knew that the new blonde's words would have the same effect as his hand on Yuuri, but it was interesting to hear the desperation there. Clearly, Yuuri thought that it was possible to save everyone. It was such a narrow-minded thought pattern, yet it was clear that the kid really did think that it was possible. What kind of world had they come from?

He nodded his head, understanding the sentiment but not entirely believing it. He couldn't say anything though, having already spoken his mind on the subject, and he didn't want to upset Yuuri more.

That desperate tone was so unlike what Sara was used to coming from Yuuri that for a moment he forgot his company and frowned, uneasy. Quickly, however, he repaired his gentle smile, giving Yuuri's hands a soft squeeze.

"It's a bit late to be saying that," he pointed out, pulling the younger boy's hands to his chest, over the scar right in the center. "I already have, after all. And I should hope we're not so unlucky that such a situation would ever come up a second time."

Whether the lightly teasing words were just that, teasing in an attempt to make Yuuri smile, or a subtle reminder of what the human king had done for him and how much Yuuri owed him, was ambiguous at best. Perhaps it was even meant as both, because as much as Sara genuinely wanted Yuuri to go back to normal, he couldn't forget his first purpose in befriending the Maoh. Surely this was a great opportunity, after all? With all his retainers either missing or grieving over their fallen comrade, there would be no one in the way and Sara could draw Yuuri closer than ever.

He felt his chest clench painfully at what Sara pointed out. Glancing down to his hands as the other king moved them, Yuuri didn't miss the meaning behind the gesture when Sara pressed his hands against his chest. The cat-like shape to his pupils thinned at the reminder, and while he hadn't experienced that situation himself, the young Maou didn't need to.

"...Sara..." Yuuri muttered more to himself. He owed the other king so much as it was, and it felt to him that all he did was take from those around him. His shoulder's slumped and trembled slightly at the thought, but he didn't pull his hands away.

"I told Usagi that I wanted to start standing up and protecting those I cared about," The young Maou murmured before he dipped his head shamefully, "But when the time came, we were caught unaware and Co-- Conrad was the one who ended up protecting me. I- I couldn't save him."

Peering back up, his gaze lingered on Sara as he murmured, "I don't want to see that happen again to anyone else," Pulling his gaze over to regard Cloud, Yuuri continued, "You all mean too much to me." Yuuri's gaze lingered on the blonde fighter. Cloud had already said that he'd go to such lengths regardless of what he said, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't try protecting the other in return.

His attention traveled back to regard the other king as he finished, "I don't want Conrad's sacrifice to be in vain."

It was clear that right now Yuuri needed to be surrounded by friends, and he suspected that it would be the only way the kid got back standing. He had his doubts that Yuuri should actually be left alone at this point, and he wondered if there were enough to take care of that job. Perhaps staying in this place would be good for Yuuri?

Dropping his arms down to his sides again, he stepped away from the wall he had standing next to. "If you don't want his sacrifice to be in vain, you need to protect yourself first. That was what he died to do." He nodding his head, remembering a time when he had to do the same thing. He couldn't protect everyone else when he was so open for manipulation and control. "Once you can protect yourself, you can set out to protect everyone else."

At Yuuri's shamed expression, Sara frowned and shook his head, releasing the double-black's hands only to instead pull him into a hug. "Enough of that," he scolded. "I can't imagine that Lord Weller or any of your retainers would want you to feel like this, and I don't want it either."

He glanced over to the blond man at his comment, and with the memory of lightning strikes, violent spikes of earth and tornadoes of seawater, he smirked. "But Yuuri is strong," he pointed out, as though everyone should have been aware of the power he had back home. "There's no one that could manage to harm the great Demon King, after all. That shouldn't be a problem."

A cold feeling of fear shot through his chest as Sara released his hands, and it snapped his attention back up towards the other king just as he was pulled into that hug. The gesture did more to comfort him than the hold on his hands, and Yuuri didn't hesitate in wrapping his arms back around his friend.

Yuuri's cat-like gaze shifted over to regard Cloud at the other blonde's words. What was said reminded him of the conversation he'd had with Usagi. He tried to protect others, but no matter how hard he did, things always ended up being the other way around. How could he protect himself first? Morgif wasn't with him, and he'd always been terrible with other swords.

"Protect myself," He muttered to himself before Sara's words drew his attention. Easing the hug he had around the other king, Yuuri pulled back enough to give them a little bit of space between their bodies even if his arms remained around Sara. "But we're not at home," Yuuri said. If they had been, then he would have been able to do something to help save Conrad. The thought caused his chest to clench painfully before he shook his head and glanced between the two, "I want to learn how to be stronger here so I can protect everyone."
