He doesn't really hear it at first, but his eyes go up, and up again, and he can see the shimmer of tan against the white wall. Taking a step forward, he kneels down, and touches the floor, where little granules of sand are building up on the edges of the room ]
Huh. That's weird.
[ It's sort of like rain, but sand, and indoors, and that doesn't make any sense at all. Just as he's about to say more, the sand seems to start falling faster, the pile at his feet doubling in bare seconds ]
Looks like bad news.
[ He glances at the guy again, sizing him up. He feels a tug of something--he looks familiar, but Yuri can't for the life of him place why. But he can't for the life of him place much today. That doesn't matter now. What matters is this guy looks strong ]
Think you can give me a boost? [ He tilts his head toward the ladder ]
