Hey, Yuri is all for distractions to keep Varrick off his back with more of his crazy ideas. This is exactly why he feels no shame in giving his boss that nickname. But his name being called did make him pause, even if Varrick's attention went straight to Dove.

See, this is why he doesn't take rich folk seriously. Just look at this specimen right here. Yuri just stood there with a vaguely amused expression, and a hand on his hip, as Dove mentions that they had been getting acquainted.
