[He bristles at the admonishment, and the oddly formal language of its delivery doesn't help. This guy thinks he can sweep in with his weird hair and his textbook Russian and order him around? Jayden was hoping for an ally, not someone to tell him all the ways in which he's wrong.
It's not like him to be so heedless of authority, but it's been a long day. Getting dropped into an entirely new world where he doesn't know the rules has his nerves frayed. And this man has done absolutely nothing to earn his trust.]
You're not my father. You can't tell me what to do.
[Which is a part of the problem. If anyone could look at this insane situation with a level head, like a problem that just needs to be solved, it would be his dad. Is it possible he's still alive in this world? If he is, he's probably stuck somewhere beyond the Iron Curtain. It's not like Jayden can just go find him.
For a stupid, embarrassing moment, he's afraid he might cry. He looks away from Yuri, masking the emotion with a scowl. He doesn't want to show weakness; it's easier to show anger.]
It's not like it matters. Those idiots brought us here. I didn't hear anything about being able to leave.
