Yuri's sorry about the way the dogs shy away -- no, flee from him, but he doesn't let go, nor does he back down. "Daine --!" he protests, starting like he's going to make another grab but too slow to do anything but get left with a detached lead in his hand.

"Daine, please, you have to listen to me," he begs her, voice cracking as it dies back down to a more reasonable volume. It's not just Daine; the thought of the dogs, who only think they're scared now, facing the ends of their lives just because she wouldn't listen to him and stay inside...Yuri can imagine only too well all three of them being reduced to paste. "I've lived here, I know how this works!"
