[ah, permission!! she will then move to sit on the chaise then and - honestly, she wasn't bothered by his words? people have been so mean to anya here that she just ignores it now, even if just on the surface
if anything it's the amendment that makes her glance back over at him and give him a smile]
... Mm. Извините. Sorry to make you stop your reading.
[and she's going to actually glance over to what he was reading and - make a softly delighted noise when she sees the space shuttle]
but she looks back to him and smiles as she picks up the book. she's mindful to make sure he doesn't lose his place, but will see if there's a picture of sputnik in it, who knows]
Mm! From Earth, grew up in country called Russia. Первый. First man to space was from Russia. Even made first satellite.
[and even though the word's more complex, she doesn't seem to stumble over it - like it's one that she says a lot]
I am still learning too, but if I can help or something you want to know, please say so.
[he picks up the tray, and... sits on the bed, perched with the whole thing on his lap, back straight, posture perfect, turned towards Anya.]
Interesting. I'd like to hear more about the—what was it? Space race?—between your country and the United States of America.
[the snippet he's read so far has been fascinating.]
I'm surprised, considering your planet's lack of fonons, that you've managed to drive so much forward so fast. But with electricity being generated from various sources, I suppose it makes sense. There was a time when our technology was on a similar level, but...
[he trails off, frowns—and eats a piece of cutlet.
Mm, do not know what fonons are but... Удивительный. It is amazing, what science can do. Space race put man on the moon - but more is learned about space everyday. The universe gets bigger, and new telescopes are made so that we can see more of the stars. Обширные. The world is big.
[and she just sounds gently awed even as she goes through the book, devouring it even as she skims the pages
though she'll look up at him and give a smile]
I love space. Звезды! I love stars most. I made star chart even before we got astronomy tower.
there is the feeling of someone who KNOWS, COMPLETELY KNOWS what she's blinking about, but is digging his metaphorical heels in deeper because he has already completely fucked up and there's no going back now unless he admits to it.
she's only stubborn about very specific things, and this is not one of them. she makes sure that he still has his page marked in the book before leaving it on the chaise, going to join him on the bed and she'll just
wait patiently because she didn't bring a second set of utensils]
[he looks pointedly at the balcony door like it is simultaneously the most interesting thing in the room right now, and also that it has somehow deeply wronged him.
but she didn't call him on it. that's. nice of her.]
he looks at the fork in his hand, and glances away.]
...Most people have done everything for themselves throughout their lives.
Having someone come in, and try and help... it can feel embarrassing, as if you're suggesting the person can't do it for themselves. Or suspicious—as if you have ulterior motives.
[...
"would you let someone help you like that?" is what he wants to ask, but the answer is looking like "yes".]
the answer is totally yes, because anya loves to be doted on and spoiled. though as she listens to his explanation, she hums thoughtfully at that]
... not meant to be embarrassing. I think you can do everything, if you need to. Everyone I met here... They know much more than Anya. Could do it all alone.
Помощь. But... do not have to, because I am here to help. It is... only way I know to do something for people.
[it's the only way she can feel useful, instead of just taking up space]

... Do not want to take too much of your time but - Сокрушить. I do not want to bother Mammon more already.
[she loves mammon so much it's unreasonable]
If okay, can I stay with you for a little?
no subject
[it's an immediate reaction—and he huffs a sigh.
well, she's already in here, so...
he crosses back into the room, and gestures to the chaise.]
Suit yourself. But don't expect me to entertain you.
[he pauses, reflecting. that was a little? harsh? wasn't it???]
...B-Because I'm... just reading books.

Ah! Космический шатл! You are reading on space?
[HER FAVORITE]

[for his part, he's off to investigate the plate of food—no point in letting it go cold, or worse, to waste...
...and it looks... great...]
I told you before, we don't need to--huh?
[his eating admonishments are interrupted by her excitement about... space? he looks back at her, and nods.]
I was looking into it. Are you from Earth as well?

it's. REALLY good. it feels sort of a waste, that he gets to eat this. it owns.
Asch looks up, opens his mouth to ask about More Space Stuff
sees Anya's beautiful, beaming face, bright as any star
freezes
and blurts out:] Did you already eat?
no subject
[she tilts her head at the question before pausing to think about it
hmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm]
A little?
[she tasted what she made for him to make sure it was good as she went so]
no subject
opens his mouth to lecture about giving him food but not eating because that's how you show someone you give a shit???
and stops
wait
WAIT

THEY DON'T EVEN NEED? TO EAT?? WHAT IS HE??? SAYING?????

Of course. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.
no subject

Да. Okay.
no subject
FUCK
he just
hands her the utensils
without a word.]
no subject
she'll take the utensils with a nod of her head, but she's definitely giggling a little bit]
Смешной. Asch is funny.
[but she'll help herself to some of the food, humming happily because she knows she's a good cook, thanks]
no subject
[he looks pointedly at the balcony door like it is simultaneously the most interesting thing in the room right now, and also that it has somehow deeply wronged him.
but she didn't call him on it. that's. nice of her.]
no subject
it's coming
but for now she'll let him live in a false sense of security, before then putting another bite on the utensil and then
offering it up to him, completely innocently
he can totally take the fork from her if he wants but she also kind of wants to see his reaction to this]
no subject
...What?
[what's??? this??????]
no subject
[easily! and she'll continue to lift the fork up to his mouth]
no subject
leans back???
what
is happening???]
I-- [he what??] It's fine! I can--
[he literally dodges the fork like a cat avoiding being pet]
no subject
well she's not going to force it on him, even though she doesn't really understand the reaction, pulling the fork back a bit]
... do not want more? Does not taste good?
Улучшение. Ah, I will do better next time...
no subject
It's fine-- No! I meant...!
[he grabs her hand, and carefully extracts the fork from her (small, cute, lovely) fingers, frowning the entire time he does.
nom,
the food is hot still which is why there's color in his cheeks now.
anyway.]
It's good.

...I meant that I can feed myself!
no subject
but at the explanation
she laughs a little]
Смущенный... Everyone embarrassed when I try to help them... is it odd?
[her work is filled with a bunch of other cute idol girls who are happy to help each other]
