Yuri was nothing short of dumbstruck when he got through to the final round- something he had achieved by doing something good and not by robbing! He was sorry for Billie, but he gave her a half sheepish, half delighted grin.

He wanted to give Hesper a thumbs up, or some other acknowledgement that however, this came out, he was pleased for her. He started going through the steps of the potion, focusing on the task at hand - adding the items in order. He was surprised by how much he wanted to win.
