I babbled more about Chariot's feelings on the whole thing here if you haven't read it already, mostly working out WHY he suddenly just /quit Yuri because it was something that kind of surprised me too.
Mmm, I think once the initial sting and frustration settles down, they could probably work something out. I said this over gchat but Chariot won't be going out of his way to avoid Yuri, but he also won't be seeking him out anymore. Spitfire got a healing thing recently, Hibari and Sasuke are his main training buddies, Hazel is his new draping-terrorism target; he'll be doing his best to kind of fill in the Yuri gaps to kind of... wean himself off of how important/prominent Yuri is in his life because I'm pretty sure that even though they drifted, they probably still did a lot of little unconscious things for/with each other (couch flopping, meals, clothes stealing, occasional spar, etc).
But I don't think Chariot will ever go around saying Yuri is his best friend again, since he had a moment of self-realization that no they weren't really best friends (considering he is comparing them to like Guy and Zack/Mithos and Lloyd it is a HIGH STANDARD definition of best friends), or even calling Yuri 'Petal' anymore because he doesn't want to put himself at a place again where he thinks he's closer to someone than he really is. And the whole 'Cherry and Petal' thing was kind of a symbol of their unspoken closeness to each other. So I do think they could be casual friends again, but immediately and probably for a while Chariot will be trying not to get involved with Yuri past a casual acquaintance level because he wants some time to... build himself up, so to speak, to be able to get along without needing to depend on Yuri for some of the things that he did. Because Yuri really was his closest bro forever and trying to remove him from that is hard because he's not the kind of person who can naturally just stop caring about someonebut he is determined!! to do it so he doesn't get upset at himself again.
I am totally working things out as I go along don't mind me.
If Chariot got booked RIGHT NOW, how would Yuri react?
