[ Yuri would rather never have to knock out a friend or ally, but he's known all along that they could be robbed of their agency.

The degree to which Yuri has endeavored to ready himself for worst-case scensrios can wait, when the conversation has taken this turn. As casually as Shez has presented his offer, there's a certain weight to the proposition. An unease, he'd venture to say.
