The gesture was almost non-existent when it came from his end, but the reaction he got in return was something he hadn't expected. He tried not to let himself think over the fact that his father was looking at the scar he'd half created. Yuri hid it for a reason, and being so exposed made him more than a little uncomfortable.

Yuri flinched when the arm around him tightened and the other came up to touch at the scar. Eyes widening lightly, there was no way for him to escape without injuring his father even as his fingers brushed against the scar. Flashes of the moment it happen bombarded his mind, and the judge was almost deaf to the hoarse words his father whispered.

Glancing down, his silence continued while he attempted to regain control of his wayward emotions. All he had been doing was trying to do the right thing. He had been tormented for years by his father contradicting his beliefs, but was it that he truly didn't? "I was trying to punish evil..." he muttered before his voice trailed off.
