video; ugh sorry for all the edits

[Cannibals? Clown? What? Yusuke shoots Blake a look of implicit "what the fuck", not for the first time since they'd started this conversation. His expression quickly turns a little awkward, though, when Blake gets this look on his face like he's sad about something. Aw, hell. He barely knows what to do about it when his friends look like that. Despite what his usual attitude might lead people to think, however, Yusuke's not so mean-spirited that he'll kick a guy when he's down, even if it's a guy whom he doesn't necessarily get along with 100% of the time, so rather than respond with something smarmy like he would if he and Blake were just engaging in their usual pissing contest, he instead pauses, coughs, and then asks him, in the most casual tone he can manage:]

So uh... who was he, then? A friend of yours?

[Trust Yusuke to know that calling somebody an asshole doesn't always mean you dislike them.]
