Yuri rolled his shoulders, and for a moment the hard look on his face fell away and he looked every bit the 10 year old he was. He shrugged diffidently at her question, because it was true he had no good answer to give. 'I dun wanna go back to the home' he admitted and kicked the head off a nearby flower just in case it looked like he cared. 'I'll get a beaten for being away 2 days and they'll tan my hide when I go back.' he sniffed and wiped his nose on his sleeve, 'I get an 'idin' for 2 days the same as for 4 so might as well stay away from that dump.' His voice sounded small, even to his ears and fearing he was sounding weak, he gave a large, and what he considered to be manly sniff, and spat a gob of snot and spit into the grass. Yes - that would cover the fact that the 10 year old hated living in the home for inconvienant children - especially when he was old enough, and capable enough to survive on his own - and being out of bounds - well that was his way of showing them he didnt need any of them.
'now you...' he managed to have his snarl firmly back in place by the time he spoke.
