[Sorry he's like this. There's a wide grin and someone comes by to bring them glasses of water and that's just how things are.]
Sure. [It's apparently no big deal???] I would like to hear you're not overworked even if you get a reward, but if you're sure. Everybody's gotta eat though. [And so here they are.
He thinks of how to bring up the real topic on his mind. ...stall. Stall a little longer.] What have you been doing lately? I know you are an idol and a model but I have no idea what all of that really entails.

[ . . . . a small little nod.]
... сердитый....
Yuratchka would always get angry.
Mm, but I do not know if I learned the right way to talk that would not make him angry.

[everybody does have to eat and anya is humming happily even as she moves to tuck one rose behind her because what else are you going to do with roses. the others will go into whatever purse she has because she wants to give it to her mother.
but good job stalling, john. nice work. anya hums thoughtfully at the question - ]
Mm.... getting ready for a concert! Halloween themed so.... призраки! There will be very spooky things. Costumes, sets, songs...
Very October things.

... but sometimes that is not nice to look at or think about.
[Sorta like admitting that she selfishly wants Yuri to come back and that her heart aches a little bit every time she loses someone, sure, but this is someone that she'd liked especially.
And admitting that is hard.]

And I've always agreed with you on that. I don't know...if we're right or wrong about it?
[ at all. like. he sure as fuck doesn't want to talk to anyone about the things that make him tick, but - ]
- Sometimes it was nice to have someone shouting at you about the truth, though.

.... I did not think I would miss Yuratchka's shouting.
[but she does. it makes her smile around a mouthful of mint.]
Kто? Who will shout at us now, Davenka?
[but she does. it makes her smile around a mouthful of mint.]

Me too.... or - I do not like trying to tell people what to say.
[even if it's good for them??]
Чувства.... I did not think feelings would be so hard.

Mm.... Happy is happy. Sad is sad. If you are happy, it is good to share. When you are sad, it is not so good to share because other people might be sad.
[SHE THOUGHT IT WAS SO SIMPLE.]
Chasing after happiness even when you are sad.... is bad?
[that's what yuri said right]

[that's what yuri said right]
Uh. Given the last time I got scolded...
[ he shrugs. ]
...Making the decision for other people that they only got the happy stuff was a bad thing. I don't think he agreed it was wrong even when we talked about what the not-happy stuff might be. And I don't...exactly know if he was wrong, but I...
[ ...don't want to talk about bro ever uh ]
[ he shrugs. ]

[ ...don't want to talk about bro ever uh ]
[ . . . . right. she nods. her scolding about that is a little bit further back in memory but.]
.... still do not want to talk about it.
[she agrees.]
Because sharing the not happy stuff....
There is nothing I can do to change it, if it happened. So...
[why bother touching on it?]
.... still do not want to talk about it.

[a nod. she also gets it.
and she will continue to eat ice cream.]
.... maybe I understand a little. Because as a friend, I do not want Davechka to hold that alone.
[ . . . . ]
But as Anya... Mеня самого. I know what Davenka is saying and the feeling is not easy.

[Good, he's not fucking up yet. That. Is probably a start. She looks kind of adorable with her roses and she's happy enough and that gives him enough reason to keep the conversation light, but he remembers how Dave had reacted in telling him Yuri disappeared. He wonders how she really feels.]
That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Halloween's one of the best holidays out there so you picked a good time to put on a show. So you're just keeping busy...? [Okay. Less subtle, maybe.]

[Naoto takes a breath. She closes her eyes. She tries to remember how the dance went, how the song went.
She begins. Her movements are hesitant at first, but it seems like she remembers more and more with every subsequent step.]

I'm not necessarily optimistic in general, Anya.
I tend to leave that to people like you.

[ Yato dreams of fire and anguished voices. His hands curled around scorching metal, flames eating at his clothes and then his skin. A river mirrored with a hundred fireflies, luminous and beautiful in the moonlight. A simple game, a dreadful mistake. Agony lances through him from within, and wolves rumble nearby, watching.
Yato's eyes crack open, and he's staring up at the ceiling of a sterile room. He's tucked into a bed. It's still and quiet. His memories are a jumble, but when he reaches back, he remembers the face of a friend, streaked with blood and twisted with insanity.
Chuuya. Dead by Yato's hand.
A fresh wave of weariness courses through him. He turns his head enough to see someone next to this bed. He knows who it is before he really sees her; the faint glimpse of silver is a dead giveaway. His hand reaches out from under his blanket to find her. ]
Anya...
[ How long has he been out? How long has she been waiting here? ]
