[ Yuri breathes the world, and excitement floods through him, overriding the fear. The fear is still there, but it doesn't matter right now, and he starts to rock on his toes ]
[Blue's mouth curves up a little in gleaning some of that. leave it to a child's perspective to soften some of the most dire blows...]
Countless many. There are people here...from entirely different worlds, like you and I. All of us were as confused as you were at first, but...many have helped each other.
[ Yuri can't quite comprehend that, but his need to go outside and see his whole new world is growing. He looks at the door, then at Blue. He wants it so badly ]
[the smile grows a shade sympathetic to that wanderlust.]
You have to be careful, though. Besides the freezing cold...there are dangers out there. Sudden, powerful dangers that even the strongest of people have fallen to.
You have to know where to be safe. Even if it's not here... [that hurts to say, but--] It has to be somewhere. Or the running never stops.
[it's bittersweet, seeing the way that childlike hunger for adventure has Yuri so quick to leave this safe place, to dismiss what's right in front of him. as grateful as he is that the boy no longer looks at him in fear, it hurts...to be before a child with no memory of him.
he can't fix that, though. he can only move forward, best he can, and hang onto the hurt and hope in him, and be grateful for that hesitation and chance for just a little bit more.]
I'm not. Because this house is safe. I've been safe here for a while.
[ There's no tact to the question. He's honestly curious. The house looks just like a normal house to him, made of wood and brick, susceptible to weather and fires and things like that ]
[ Yuri says it automatically, petulantly. He can't believe that that adult person is his best friend. It's too weird. Whatever trust he fostered with Blue slips away at the reminder of the strange situation he's in. He's immediately back on the defensive. ]
He kidnapped me! That is dangerous. That's what a dangerous person would do.
[ Yuri takes another step back with a frown. ]
I'm going. [ "And you can't stop me" is unsaid. Blue already said he wouldn't stop him.
He inches back toward the door, and puts a hand on the knob ]
....bye.
[ Because this guy was nice to him, at least. Less weird and scary than the other guy who is definitely not Flynn.
And with that, Yuri opens the door and heads out into the cold. He might regret this, when the cold bits into his bones, but he'll make it. Somehow. ]

Neither does the danger.
Does it make sense? What I say.

However best they can...
Flynn...must've been very strange and dangerous-seeming up there, wasn't he? Even when trying his best.
I hope you can forgive him for it eventually.
