[ Europa will take up on every moment of her hesitation, to have her notice, to point it out, to show the weak points in her fighting so she can better improve it. Because anyone else will not be as kind to ignore those open opportunities.
Though Europa is capable enough of fighter to make it almost unfair, they are doing this to give the Crew a better chance to fight back. Prove to them how much you want to live. They parry that slash but it does push enough strength to slide them back and they meet that dash with another arch swing, pivoting themselves straight forward like a drill. ]
[ Even without words, Europa is a good teacher. Yuri learns what she does wrong, how she can make it better, and so on. All Yuri ever wanted to do was live and now that she has the support, it's okay to keep making forward strides to get better.
The forward pivoting is hard to block and just as equally hard to hit away. She does her best to meet with it straight on, but she doesn't have enough strength to keep him at bay. As a result, the sword slightly turns from the lack of strength, making Europa's attack go through. This will probably hurt. ]
[ It will probably hurt, but only enough to bruise if anything. Europa notes and holds back his strength just at the right moment, but after how long they have gone at this and potentially could... he will notice when things start to slow down.
Eventually he will straighten, a green shimmery dragon-like tail now flicking behind him from this week's effects. ]
Hm. You're still lacking in some areas, but you're learning.
[ Dragon tail... Somehow, it suits Europa, now that Yuri has actually seen their face. Perhaps it's because of their hair color. Now that their fight has stopped, Yuri has a moment to breathe. ]
I am. I've been practicing with other members as well in the simulation rooms. With each fight, I learn from my mistakes... I hope that I can make less of them when I fight some more.
[ That bruise is gonna be there for a while, huh... Yuri usually wears clothes that cover her a lot, so she'll be fine, probably. ]
Thank you for accepting my invitation, Europa... even if you probably didn't get to fight all out like you wanted.
[ For the most part, he listens, not necessarily talking. He does eventually set the spear aside, crossing his arms in front of his chest. ]
It isn't a matter of whether I get to fight all out or not. I'm a weapon, nothing more. I do not take enjoyment or thrive from fighting like some might. I only do it because I must. [ ... ] If it helps you, you're free to request me to spar again. Better if it keeps you on your toes.
When I refer to myself as such, it is not in a way that demeans myself but a statement for what's true. I am not human, being one is my purpose and only one. I care for nothing else.
You seem to care about the crew to an extent... but you still care for them. The way you led the fight to make sure that I would notice my mistakes... that itself is a form of care.

But you're not just a weapon, Europa. You're a person.
