[ To call it unease is probably an understatement, but accurate nonetheless.
It's not like Shez isn't used to distrust, of course, far from it. His entire mercenary life has been about building up his reputation and convincing people to rely on him, and he's had to jump over twice as many hurdles upon joining Dimitri's army, with nobles and ranked officials alike questioning the merits of his position. There had also been several members of the Church frowning upon him, with Seteth in particular being so wary of him to the point of requesting he'd keep his distance both from the Archbishop and Flayn alike. Honestly, Shez couldn't even blame him, or resent him for it-- if anything, he appreciated the honesty.
And that's why, at Yuri's response, he nods. It might be harder to deal with mistrust from a friend, and all the more so if he's cast aside entirely, but... he would rather know for sure, where he stands with people. ]
Wouldn't have offered to talk about it if I didn't feel like it. The problem is... figuring out where to start.
[ Well. Not like Shez is the type for much preamble, either. Sometimes it's just easier to cut straight to the chase. ]
You know how you guys would sometimes catch me staring at nothing as though I was in a trance? Or talking to myself? The truth is, I was talking to someone. Someone only I could hear in my head, and that's who I got my powers from.
[ ... yeah, that's probably only giving Yuri more questions than answers, but it's a starting point? ]
