[it's just dancing, so who cares about her hand on his waist, or anything like that. or how good she smells or how fluffy her hair is. it doesn't really matter. she's so annoying sometimes. she digs her heels in and won't be kinder to herself, and--]
[she doesn't feel comfortable accepting the title even in just - but then she'll pause for a moment, like she's trying to think of something. then she'll hum the opening notes of a song to set a tempo before she steps forward, beginning their dance]
[what a nice song. she really did have a nice voice.....
and because this is a magical cursed house full of animes we can imagine it's playing in the bg and it's not just the two of them silently shuffling in step!!
asch is, as he accurately noted, rusty—but by no means a slouch. he's clearly practiced in his movements, as with each step, his ability curves upwards.]
Well, you're doing a good job of it right now, nya.
[he learns quickly... she's a little impressed, but just seems very happy with this. he's from a noble family, isn't he? so this is what it's like to dance with someone so distinguished]
Ты тоже. Same to you - you are learning very well.
[she tilts her head at that, a little confused before she hums thoughtfully]
Own history...?
... Семья. I think of family. Mama, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, all in Russia. [and immediately, her expression melts into something fond and nostalgic] A very warm home, with good food, and good laughter.
Papa would show me the stars, Mama would help cook, and Grandma and Grandpa would play a music box for Anya. Теплый. Sweet and kind. For ten years, all of us together.
[it's hard not to soften up even more at the sight of Anya happily melting into here memories. what a happy life. what a dream.
he literally cannot think of one person in his entire life who has had such a nice issue-free life, so in a way, it's kind of nice to know it can exist... somewhere.]
[haha! well. some part of it is probably due to the fact that she's purposefully not mentioning anything that could've been even a little bit wrong
but it's fine. this part of her life is very idyllic.]
Russia! [she is sO EXCITED] Bеличественный - it is... How do I say... The most lovely of all places. Even if it is cold, the people are warm. The sky is always full of stars. If home is where heart is - then my heart is in Russia.
[that's fine, no one communicates in his world either, it would be more horrifying if she actually communicated openly with him and telling him the truth right away!!
wow this russia place sounds baller!!
well actually it kind of sounds like keterberg but anyway
he nods as she speaks, nearly chuckling.]
Russia, stars, and space—you must love the observatory here, then, nya.
[ oh - she's a little surprised, but it really goes to say that she's a professional when she doesn't even miss a step, pirouetting easily in as she adjusts to asch's new hold on her]
Eh? В самом деле? Are you sure? You want to?
[well now he can't take it back she looks super excited]
Hmph. In that case, you're well-suited for each other, nya...
[he sounds glum somehow? but he also always does, so this is nothing particularly new.
he waltzes another step, then spins her again, gently spinning here out, so they're only holding on with one hand each—and then bows, cordially to her. like a gentleman.]

Whenever you're ready, leader, nya.
[that's a tease, though.]
no subject
Ah - Anya is no leader, but good dancer, nya.

[dark humor! but he seems good natured about it.]
Tell me about yourself, Anya-nya. You never told me about your own history, nya.

[EASILY - ]
Любимый. It is the best room to me. The best place to see all the stars... Almost close enough to touch.
no subject
Asch could definitely listen to Anya talk all day.
...
in a sudden burst of... something, he swaps his grip--
--and spins Anya in a gentle pirouette.]
Do you...
[...ugh]
...We could go there tonight, nya. Instead of my room, I mean.
Nya.
no subject
Eh? В самом деле? Are you sure? You want to?
[well now he can't take it back she looks super excited]
no subject
he thought she might like the idea but damn she's
very excited.
girl cute]
Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it, nya. After all, it's not as if we have to sleep, nya.
no subject
she's absolutely purring then, pleased as could possibly be]
В восторге. Ahh, I am excited...
no subject
[It's supposed to be a teasing joke!]
[1/2]
no subject
but then she seems to remember]
Oh - might need to invite Osamu sometimes.

no subject
...Do as you like. [He's not stopping her... so there's that.]
I guess your relationship must be going pretty well.
no subject
[she doesn't know what 'relationship' means in this case but it probably just means friendship right?]
I want to know him better, still. Do you talk to him many times?
no subject
but he does have to admit]
No.
He mostly just takes my food and runs.
no subject
laughs a little bit]
I think he likes to play with you.
no subject
You mean he does whatever he can to rile me up, nya.
[HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN THAT HORRIBLE KISSING GAME!!!!!!!!]
no subject
[sHE'S SO CONFIDENT FOR NO REASON]
I think I understand. You are fun to play with too.

But I'm still expecting a lecture on stars.
