[ yin yu makes a quiet noise of agreement before he answered, trying to keep that same level of resolve. he's realistic, and has, in the past few hundred years, been a little bit cynical, but he's trying to find a hint of optimism. everyone here is logically, prepared for this, in some way, shape or form.
he lifts his other hand. it hesitates, for a moment--but, then, he covers the top of her hand with his own. it's not for long, but, the gesture is meant to reassure, the best that he can. ] We'll just have to keep striding forward, no matter what happens.
