There's an approving roar from above, and Yuri shivers like a cat that's been sprayed with water, looking up at him with huge, panicked eyes, and Victor thinks, Вот дерьмо.
"O-Okay, Yuri."
Smiling and trying his best to stay an even keel, even as he's holding his hands up to try and ward Yuri off at the pass. "First, let's take deep breaths."
Yuri has to calm down, if for no other reason, so that he doesn't have a heart attack or stroke right here in the garage. "Don't worry about it, Chris was only the second to go. Looking at the standings now isn't going to mean anything, okay?"
He has no idea if anything he's saying or doing is getting through, and he doesn't like it down here: it's cold and dim and echo-y and it's maybe the second to worst place for Yuri to warm up. The problem being, of course, that the worst place is where they just came from, with all the building pressure.
(Phichit is up now, he thinks ... that means another ten minutes or so before they have to start heading back up.)
"Go ahead and warm up, I'll keep an eye on the rankings for you. That's part of my job, not yours, remember?"
