[anya's back in the ballroom on saturday evening! it looks like she's grabbed a book from the library and she's even going to be humming along with the background music at this point, because she's gotten to know the song so well. she's in the middle of moving a chair from the dining table to set it up riiiight in front of the tall tall windows -
when she notices hunter passing by for whatever reason]
Oh! Извините... Excuse me. Do you have time...?

[He’s wandering around the unlocked rooms again, a little bit uncertain of what else to do at this point. Maybe that’s part of the reason why that, as soon as he hears her speaking to him, he turns with a smile, nodding.]
Yeah, of course. What’s up?
Yeah, of course. What’s up?
[oh - he seems nice. she looks a little sheepish]
Um... Меня зовут Аня. I am Anya... We did not meet before but -
Would you like to meet now?
[she's going to gesture toward where she's setting up her stuff in front of the windows!!]
You look... nervous?

[Once she's offered her name:]
Nice to meet you, Anya. I'm Hunter. And - of course. It's a good idea for all of us to get to know each other, right?
[He gives her a smile, though it fades slightly in surprise when she says he looks nervous. There's a bit of a self conscious pause before he speaks.]
I'm not, really. There's just not much to do once you've looked all over, you know?

Mm, Anya thinks so too... but you will get too tired if you look and look only.
[so she offers him a little smile as she goes to pull up a second chair to join the on she put in front of the windows!!]
So let us sit. Товарищество. Making friends better than worrying for now.

Thanks.
[He takes a seat in the chair she offers, looking thoughtful as he does.]
I think so, too. Well, we know each other's names now, so I guess next would be... Where are you from? I'm from Toronto.

Toronto.... Canada?
[her geography's pretty good just because - ]
Захватывающе! Very exciting! I never visited before. I am from Tokyo, Japan - and before that, Russia.

[He looks fairly interested once she says she's from Japan, because he's a Nerd. As such:]
It might be kind of a downgrade if you did visit. I mean, Toronto definitely isn't as cool as Tokyo. Not that I've been there, but...
[He can imagine, or something.]
What brought you all the way from Russia?

[why is everyone here a weeb]
Mm... Mama is Japanese - so we moved away from Russia to stay in Hokkaido. Then Anya was... mm...
Набранные? Scouted? To be an idol.

[It's late in the evening when Hunter leaves the mansion again to get some air. He's... Hm, taken a set of pool cues from the billiards room and is using them as makeshift crutches. The reason for that is clear enough; one of his legs is gone from the knee down. Which isn't exactly rare this week, but he doesn't seem like he's looking for it at all, either. Weird.
Either way, he's distracted by Anya's socked foot hopping along past him. On instinct, he takes one of the pool cues and sets it down quickly on the sock so it can't Escape. Once that's done, he glances her way.]
I'm gonna go ahead and guess this is yours?
[Given the fact that she has a matching sock.]

[Two teens walk into a kitchen...
And it's completely wrecked, from the looks of it. Hunter, in patchwork clothing with straw falling out of it for whatever reason, surveys the damage as he takes a step inside, his expression concerned.]
What could have happened in here...?
[He glances Anya's way with a small frown, wanting to see how she's taking this in.]

[ . . . . . She looks at his clothes and is curious - but then she decides she'll ask after dealing with the mess.
she's just as concerned. it shows on her face, but it doesn't stop her from moving forward, carefully stepping around things and picking up the train of her dress just in case]
.... Cooking? Last night...?

[BELATED - but she's just going to perk up!!!]
Спасибо! [she says as she just fucking hops over carefully on one leg - both feetsies have heels, so it sure has been a time] Thank you, Hunter!
Your leg next?
[she'll help him!]

Maybe there was some kind of struggle, or someone was looking for something in here? Something went down, at least.
[He looks down at the ground, seeing water and... some other substance. After he bends down to carefully touch it, he frowns.]
It's... kind of slimy.

[thanks she hates that]
... Not good....
[you don't say - but she will walk a few more steps and peer down]
Water...? [and she'll step toward the counter] There is - беспорядок... Big mess. Everything tipped...
[ . . . ]
Nia wanted to learn more cooking.
... Not good....

Oh - that's really nice of you to offer.
[He establishes that first, looking honestly grateful. As he goes on, though, he looks a little bit sheepish.]
It's not really around, but Peach said it'll probably come back tomorrow at the latest. So, it's all good.

[p
pause]
... Come back? Leg went on trip?
[THAT'S EVEN MORE CONCERNING THAN NORMAL]

You think she might have been in here near curfew...?
[It isn't exactly a happy thought. He didn't know her too well, but she seemed sweet, and this... With a sigh, he turns towards Anya. If she knows that much about her...]
Were you friends? I'm really sorry.

Uh... Yeah, you could say that!
[This explains nothing.]
But like I said, it's pretty temporary. Peach helped me find stuff I could use as crutches, too, so it's all good. [...] Speaking of which, though, I'd totally bend over and grab your foot, but I don't really have a way to not fall if I do that, so...

[anya pauses at the question even as she looks at the counter, trying to take everything in
her answer is a little delayed, but she will turn to hunter with a small, forced smile]
... we did not talk a lot - but I want to be friends. Um... Прошедшее время? ... Wanted.
[already switching to past tense is... hard,]
... please do not worry about me.

Oh - Anya will!
[and she doesn't have much trouble with that - hop hop hopping over on one foot, then managing her balance as she goes to retrieve her other leggy by the sock]
Mm... Помогал. I am happy you found help. Do you know why leg is gone...?

...Would it help if I said it wasn't just you?
[That he's worried about, that is. He's going to guess the answer is no, but...]
[That he's worried about, that is. He's going to guess the answer is no, but...]
[ . . . she looks down briefly, letting the smile drop]
.... Hunter is very nice. To have a big heart... important.
[ . . . ]
But - Толстая. Me being here... People are scared with that. For me to be scared, or make them worry more for me... It feels...
Heavy. I do not want to be heavy.

Thanks.
[He sounds grateful once again as he moves the cue stick to free the sock. Once she has it:]
Oh, yeah. It got stolen by something straight out of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
[He says, far too casually.]
