"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
[ Thanks for that, Yuri. Even if Yang actually does want to curl up and tug the blanket over her head and let the world pass her by, at least until the edge of her pain fades a great amount-- he's still there, and he hasn't delivered some kind of condescending remark or a "you can do it, you're strong, you'll be fine" type of encouragement. Those... hadn't really helped her, either. Because then there was an expectation, and here she was, disappointing them all.
She hates it. But she doesn't know what to do about it, except get over it, and that's... hardly easy.
So she's quiet, when her breathing steadies out again. Because she doesn't actually know what to say yet. ]
[this is fine. yuri doesn't really know what to say either when it omes to this sort of thing. but as yang starts to regain her composure, yuri thinks he should probably say something that will ease the tension hanging in the air.]
Food's not gonna taste as good if you let it get cold. [nailed it.]
Someone wouldn't let me eat. [ THIS WAS ALL YOU, Yuri. But Yang sighs under her breath, and reaches for a slider. Maybe if she eats something, he'll give her a reprieve. ]
Maybe we just gotta work on your multitasking. [it's fairly lighthearted teasing, enough to try and convey that he's letting the harsher topics go for the time being. he said what he needed to say, and that's all he can do for the time being aside from...
[ That's... probably what she needs right now. To be knocked out of her funk, yes, but also to realize that she still has support. And even if it's just Yuri making her food and being a bro...
[she's eating it, which is a good enough outcome considering he's done everything else he can.]
Not gonna sit here and stay in your hair all day unless you want me to. [he'll eventually break the silence with that, but he's also sure she's probably sick of seeing his face after all that.]

It'll help. Eventually.
But at least the food is good. ]

I'll clean up in the kitchen before I go, though.

[ It's all she says, and it's probably about the food... but that's some progress. Probably. ]

[but with that, yuri will take his leave. he knows he's said enough already, so he'll cut her a break.]
