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.]

[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.]
