well. if you are not busy, would you like to join me? i want to get dinner on my way home and before it gets too late. and i think dave is. being. dave. somewhere. plus i have not actually seen you since your party!
[He doesn't answer back which is as good an answer as any. Luckily for her he's only waiting for a few minutes before she shows up and soon after he perks up, pushing away from where he's leaning against the building to greet her.]
Ten minutes was a good estimate. Hey. [There's a bright grin even as he remembers the concerns he has currently.] Ready to go in? I think we hit a slow hour for them so they are not that busy.
[The bright grin is mirrored - Anya might be going through a few rough things at the moment, but that outwardly she fails to have a dampening on her spirit when she gets to be with people she likes. So there's a happy little nod.]
Да! Anya is very ready.
[But as they walk in, she's already asking questions - ]
Yes, and yes. It is a lot to juggle and I am still getting used to my schedule and stuff but I like some of my classes and I'm making friends so what more can I ask for?
[They're seated and once that occurs he pauses for a moment before he moves and pulls out three roses from the pocket of his hoodie.] These are for you by the way. [And just like that he's smoothly sliding into another subject.] You're not overworking, are you?
anya blinks in confusion at the roses but otherwise lights up immediately when she receives them. she's careful as she picks them up and inhales to breathe in their sweet scent. a happy little hum.]
Спасибо...! Thank you!
[she lovES
and it's why she just giggles at the next question]
Overworking? No, I do not think so. Or if I am, this is a good reward.
[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.
[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...
[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.]
