Even if the doctor kept his tone even, it was hard not to feel like a child being lectured by an adult. True, there were a lot of things that were difficult to comprehend, but it was more than that. The man's presence itself was intimidating, to say nothing of his demeanor or the subject. Yuuhi glanced away briefly; there was no need to answer the man's question, he'd done that himself. The situation itself though, was eerily familiar.
-and become my chess piece.
There were still many secrets he'd left alone in his travels with Kurogane, Mokona, Syaoran, and Sakura. He'd been so sure as a child that he would do anything it took to bring his brother back to life. That he could kill if he had to, or hurt others. But when he saw Sakura's clear and trusting eyes, or Syaoran's dedication, Kurogane's loyalty... the thought of someday betraying them was one he tried to keep far from mind. To think he might have to make another deal here, just to keep going, to keep the things that were dear to him, it was more than a little overwhelming.
But even if he did accept the offer, Kurogane's open defiance and promise to keep the decision out of Yuuhi's hands was enough to create problems. Kurogane and likely Tsubaki too, would be likely to tell the others to distrust him if he agreed to the proposition. It put him in a difficult spot and whether or not he agreed with the doctor or his methods, there wasn't a lot he could say without Kurogane putting a stop to it. His gaze met the doctor's for a moment, then fell to his lap once more, not refusing the offer, but not siding with Kurogane either.
