[ Yu's expression softens slightly at the teasing. He really... does like Yosuke... ]

I can't go anywhere right now, [ he says honestly. ] I can't see anything, and it would be more dangerous for me to get lost by myself. I'll have to wait the storm out for a while.

[ For a moment, Yu looks at Yosuke, thoughtful. Then he peels off his soaking wet jacket - it's not keeping him warm - and drapes it over Yosuke, just over where skin fades into tail. ]

This should help keep you wet, [ he murmurs. The cloth will hold water, after all.

Given a moment to think, Yu curls up on the bank, settling as close to Yosuke as he can get without getting back in the water. He takes one of his friend's hands. ]

... besides, I won't just leave you here. Not if I can't know for sure you're safe.
