It was a good question. One he didn't really have an answer for other than a shrug. "Torturing myself I guess?" he offered as an answer. It wasn't far off. For all his bravado of he was fine, that he had other things to occupy his time, that he could focus on music... all the excuses he'd given everyone - Otabek missed skating. Like missing a part of himself. Like missing Yuri even when Yuri stood right in front of him. Nothing had really been the same.
"You going to get mad at me if I tell you you under rotated?" he asked with what he hoped came across as a teasing smirk. Under or over, it was the constant fight for all of them it seemed. The difference between landing it or not that a split second in their jumps made.
He pulled out another small towel from his bag and wet it with some water from his water bottle before offering it to Yuri. Something to wash whatever blood might still be on his face off with.
