Well, if nothing else, it wipes Victor's reproach away, to replace it with blinking uncertainty. "Yuri, I don't speak Japanese."
There are a few words in there that he catches –– I, for one, and but, he thinks, and why –– but there are a whole string in between that don't mean anything to him at all, and certainly not as fast as they've been tossed at him. It's not totally unprecedented –– Yuri occasionally slips into Japanese when he's very tired, or not thinking, or is thinking too quickly to put into English –– but it's unusual enough that Victor's eyebrows crawl towards his hairline, and he looks at Yuri with faint concern. "What are you saying?"
