No. Well, I mean... yeah, but they got it from us. It's more of a regional thing in Japan, though; I was kinda surprised to see 'em here.
[Aside from that, Yusuke is pretty sure Chinese people from China don't sell fortune cookies, that it's just Chinese Americans who popularized it overseas - or at least, that's what Keiko's dad told him, anyway, and given that the guy owns a restaurant, he feels pretty secure in trusting him to know his food trivia.
(Now that he thinks about it, he hasn't visited the Yukimuras' restaurant in ages; maybe once he busts loose from this joint and kills Sensui, he'll pop in to see how they're doing. Like, "oh hey, how's it going, guys? Me? Oh, y'know, just getting kidnapped to Animal Planet for X number of months and slaying crazy psychics bent on destroying the planet and everyone in it. The usual. What's on the lunch menu?" Hell, knowing Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura, they'd probably just think, 'oh, there goes Yusuke, kidding us again' and laugh it off. What good people.)
Yusuke doesn't have anything to say in response to Blake's explanation of the "hope and hands" phrase - he just kind of gives him a look of recognition, like, "oh riiight", and doesn't comment otherwise - but he's got plenty of opinions about all the other stuff Blake says, none of which necessarily reflect disagreement with his cynicism. In fact, it seems like he might... actually be starting a conversation with him! Alert the presses!]
I dunno, old man. Just 'cause you can see the worst coming doesn't always mean you're prepared for it.
What matters is how well you can bullshit when it comes.
[And if there is anything Yusuke is an expert at when it comes to navigating sticky situations, it's bullshitting. Fake it 'til you make it! That's the Yusuke Urameshi way of getting things done. Also, if something tries to bite you in the ass, knock it the fuck out.
On that lovely note, hey! Looks like Blake is back to insulting him. That's a good sign. It even gets on Yusuke's nerves, as comments like that are wont to do, but rather than snap back and get all blusterous and aggro, he snorts derisively and gives Blake a steely look and a tight-lipped smirk, his tone of voice almost casual as he tells him:]
Nah, arson's not really my thing. I'm more of a "breaking and entering" type of guy, with an emphasis on the "breaking".
[He's also a "shoplifting" type of guy, but he's just, ah, gonna keep that one to himself. Knowing his luck, he'd run into this dirtbag at the Mart later, or something, and that would undoubtedly turn into the biggest pain his ass has encountered since getting here (menagerie of animals excluded).]
