[He hesitates for a short moment before he seems to realize that might be the worst thing to do in this situation, and forces the words out.]
I mean, I just - this place is dangerous. You know that. I can't promise that nothing's going to happen. But it's not like I... I mean, of course I don't want anything to happen to me.
no subject
But if in dangerous place - you will not accept.
If in water, you will try. If in fire, you will try.
[she sounds almost like she's ordering, if not for the way that she looks scared in her eyes, turning to almost a whisper]
... Пожалуйста. Please try.
no subject
[It's soft, almost as if he's thinking of something else - but he comes back to himself after a moment, blinking down at her.]
More importantly, Anya - what I saw... You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but - I'm sorry you had to go through that.
no subject
but when he brings up her own memory - she falters]
.... Old memory. [is it - it had to be a year or two ago at most] ... Умеренная. Not that bad.
[though her second statement is softer, like she's still trying to keep people from worrying about her]
no subject
[...]
Did they stop treating you like that?
no subject
I did not talk... for long time. Because... напугана. Scared.
But if I did not talk... no one would come to me either.
[ . . . ]
Anya moved to Tokyo - later. Since someone said... I should be idol.
[and maybe she wanted to be someone worth something]
no subject
Did it stop once you did? I mean, the... not talking. The whole being scared thing. [All the same—] By the way, you can stop me if it's something you don't want to talk about.
no subject
... I can talk now.
[to which she offers a soft smile - almost sheepish]
... I did silly things. Like at first um... autograph sign, tried to ask Producer to let me speak only in Russian, because I did not want... Неуклюжий. I did not want cool idol to sound... [she hesitates around the word, 'stupid' rests on the tip of her tongue - ] Not good.
But... is better now.
no subject
[He might not understand how the language barrier can factor into it, but - that feeling of self consciousness, of embarrassment, is something he can sympathize with. A little bit softer:]
But, hey. I can promise you, you always sound cool.
no subject
Do not think so, but thank you.
[the words at least get her to smile] Непосредственный. I like... to have words to express my heart to people. Not through translator, just... me.
[so she looks a little embarrassed but - ]
Will learn more, so I can tell what I want to feel to people I want to hear it.
no subject
I wonder if there are books for that in the library. I mean, if you ever wanted any pointers, I could totally help you out. Not that I'm, like, a teacher or anything, but - well, you get it.
no subject
[she offers a soft little smile]
Заинтересованы? Could teach Russian or Japanese too - if you want to learn.
no subject
Yeah, that sounds great! I mean, if you don't mind that I'm not really the best student.
no subject
Hunter is very smart. I believe that.
Учитель. I will be happy to teach no matter what.
no subject
Cool! How's tomorrow? Or later on in the week?
no subject
Mm... later? I will make notes to be easy to follow!
Отвлечение. If we are thinking of others things, we will not worry about Friday.

[she says, with confidence, because what could happen between now and thursday]
We will have a study party - like nothing is different.
