[ Yuri goes about handing out the snacks the same way he always does. He crouches nearer to eye-level and he knows by now that expectations are set. Children approach him ready for their share and Yuri hands it over, greeting each by name in the process. Those he doesn't yet know he introduced himself to, and so it goes.

He has only just finished his own portion of the work when Nebula returns to report her own progress. She seems more relaxed, at least to Yuri, though he thinks he knows better than to say so. It's clear to him she cares about these kids here, including the one who's rejoined her, but this too he won't call out.

But it does inform his image of her, just the same. ]

Thanks for lending a hand.

[ The words come with an easy smile, and Yuri's basket is clearly no longer weighted down with food as he shifts. ]

Went much quicker this way. Not that I mind, but I have to imagine the wait's difficult when it's just me passing things out.

[ And he can't just deposit the food somewhere and expect that everyone will get their fair share. ]
