Now, now, let's not sell ourselves short! Well, you're not exactly wrong either.
[ What's it like, being a legacy? To share a name with many others? He remembers how the doppelganger cried that night, lamenting its lack of pride and worth, and he thinks he understands a little. ]
If you wanna take a break so much, I can cover for ya.

Nope. Can't say I've ever wished for that. Because, you know, a twin in Chaldea usually means things like Alters.
[not that Jeanne Alter or Saber Alter are horrible, terrible people but.]
And as badly as I don't want to do any work, everyone has to earn their keep. Thanks for the offer, though. I want to believe it was well-intentioned and you weren't planning anything nefarious but I'm sure you already had all kinds of ideas in your head that would give me problems later.

[Jeanne Alter and Saber Alter are terrible people because they want to kill Yan Qing specifically. Which, let's be real, is totally his fault.]
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!!]

... Hah?
[two
years???]
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.
shit. why does it say daddy!!!]
Actually, maybe I don't.

[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!

[yep. as expected.
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's face is now covered in soot. ]
Heeeeeey! Why is it so mean to me!? I didn't do nothin'.
[ The dragon snickers in amusement, but it moves its wing and it goes quiet, shrinking away from both Yan Qing and Vietnam. ]
That looks painful, bud. You okay?

[O-oh, it didn't want a hug? Okay, so his peace offering worked anyway because while he did get sniffed at, he wasn't attacked. That's affection! Take it from a tsundere.]
It's just shy, so some react differently...like trying to act tough!
[She peers around him a little more.]
Poor dear, it looked like it had fun teasing you, but if it can't do more than that, perhaps we should tend to it. I think it trusts you a little more now.

Act tough? Tch, pain in the...
[ Yan Qing rolls his shoulders. He has no time for this hot and cold shit! But it's not like him to ignore a creature, especially one in need. The baby dragon weeps in pain once more, and his gaze softens.
Is this what I looked like that day, my lord? I was a child who had nothing to give you, and yet— ]
Guess so. Help me out, Sen! We need something to stop the bleeding... You got cloth or something? I'd offer, but...
[ He's naked. Dammit, Yan Qing. Is there anything around that can help them? This crystal wasteland is useless!! ]

Have a little patience!
[Look! It's not that bad when you understand all the mannerisms, Yang Qing! But first, the baby dragon. Even while annoyed, Yan Qing still seems to truly want to help this poor baby.
She didn't know (yet) that it was bringing up memories of his past.
As for cloth, he's naked, isn't it? Unbelievable. She immediately fetches her handkerchief.]
Do you think this will do?

[ UGH. But why can't all babies be cute, Sen? She does keep him in check, though. She's right — patience is key here. One wrong move and the dragon's condition could get even worse. ]
That'll do. Come on, let's get it off that crystal first. I'll help you out from the top. [ With the grace of a cat, he goes around to leap and climb on top of the crystal formation, getting in position to push the wing off the tip of the sharp, blood-stained crystal. ] Heeeey, buddy. This'll be over in a second, so just clench your teeth or somethin', okay?
[ The dragon makes a... purring? noise as it nods. ]
Ready when you are, Sen!

[Because if they were all cute, then people wouldn't be afraid of having children! Look at those little nightmares! Just like this dragon was to him like two seconds ago.
But look how helpful he is now! The dragon baby is moved, which gives her enough time to prepare to tend to it.]
You're such a charmer, no? Look at that, I think it's quite taken with you by now.
[She waves him back down now that the dragon baby is all settled again.]
Alright little one. [LARGE ONE.] Stay perfectly still, okay?

Hahahaha, I get that a lot.
[ Yan Qing is laughing it off now, but if Sen looks closely... he is blushing. Good job, you tamed the ruffian. The baby dragon nods and makes another sound, as if to answer Sen. It's just a kid, okay? It just wants to be spoiled. ]
Everyone ready? On the count of three!
[ The dragon clenches its jaw. ]
One, two...
