I only knew you for about a month or so in Duplicity before I never saw your mug again! That's nowhere near two years!
[that was a good thing, though. Robin wouldn't wish that city on his worst enemy. especially not for two years. also, uh, apparently he's going there with the Duplicity thing.]
... Ah, damn it, are you from even farther in Chaldea's future? I hate being out of the loop.
[... what? does he mean that it moved out of that arctic dead-zone??
mid-toss, Robin snatches it midair. YOINK.]
I should ask about Chaldea moving but I'm gonna ask what the hell it could explain about this lighter, instead. [he finally, FINALLY reads the text on it as he holds it between his thumb and middle finger.
[The next part is difficult. How is he supposed to tell Robin they're the enemy now?
Hah, not that it's new.]
About Chaldea... It's nothing important. [If he thinks this way, it's easier to run.] And it's nothing Master knows right now, trust me. Da Vinci just wanted a change of pace!
Robin eyes Yan Qing for this kind of "I know something and you doooon't" attitude he's being given.]
Are you a kid? I do, but I'm not gonna beg. [but he's starting to get a bad feeling about this. he sighs. it's Chaldea. he doesn't have to worry that much. there are plenty of other Servants who can do the worrying. even though it's his future, too. if he's told, it might mess up the time-space continuum and someone's dad could die and the town could be taken over by some asshole who wanted to bang the dad's wife and he actually MURDERED the dad.
and there's bigger things on his plate right now.]
Kids shouldn't be smoking, then.
[like the lighter, he plucks the cigarette. right out of his mouth.]
Ah—! Heeeeeey. [ Yan Qing clicks his tongue, but he doesn't ask for it back. He's not that petty.
Petty, huh? He thinks it was petty of Galahad to leave Mashu defenseless after Chaldea's fall. If Yan Qing knew what would happen, he thinks he would have done things very differently. He's sure Robin would.
And yet. ]
Eh, whatever. It's nothing we can change.
[ Because even if they could tell Ritsuka to turn her back on humanity and free her from her burden, he knows she'd save the world every single time. And every single one of them loved her for it. ]
But just so you know, you're still with us. So much for not being a hero!
[ Yan Qing snorts. "For whatever reason." Like he doesn't know.
Because Yan Qing does. ]
Nah, I haven't gotten my Class changed yet. Wahahahaha! I should ask the professor about that... Just kidding. I wouldn't wanna steal your thunder.
[ Instead of elaborating, Yan Qing chooses to lie down on the rest of the bench like an asshole. According to his logic, no one else will want to sit beside two ripped hobos. It's fucking fine. ]
Well, since I'm outta smokes, I'm gonna pretend to sleep here for the next two hours. Pretend to wake me up when we get there.
as the Assassin Class lays down beside him, his head ends up close to Robin's hip. pray he doesn't have to fart.]
I'm not an alarm clock.
[the lighter is tossed at him again until it lands squarely on his chest. Robin doesn't move from his spot, however, so he's at least there as some company if nothing else while Yan Qing does his pretend snooze.
and if he does "pretend" to wake Yan Qing up it will be with a light smack to the cheek. Robin is pretty sure to outrun him if he gets pissed about it.]

HOW DARE U ROBIN ALTER AT ME
Hey, it's been two years! The least you could do is trust me.
[Despite being the same person who tried to cuddle with Ritsuka as Mashu, he looks very sad about this!!]
HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH
[two
years???]

things he can't change he won't bother with, either. if at all, it's Robin's "yet" too.
along with Ritsuka's choices as a Master and how she's being held accountable for humanity's future. that's another one. it's not up to him.]
Being around you guys doesn't mean I'm a hero. If I'm sticking around, it's because Ritsuka still wants me to be her bow... for whatever reason.
Even though she has some good Archers to choose from by now, right?
