Oh, you're just doing it for show? You probably don't even like the cold do you?

[candothat]

It's sad and true. I have always preferred more tropical climates.

[passingthrough]

[She smiles.]

I think you can probably be an evolved civilization and still hold on to some of these things a little as long as you don't let them be the things that divide you.

[candothat]

I agree... but of course I agree. The longer that I'm away from Russia, the more Russian I become in order to compensate.

[passingthrough]

So if I visited you after you'd been in Russia for a few years you'd seem very cosmopolitan?

[candothat]

I would. I would be a cultured and worldly person, hardly Russian at all, without this great burden. [His teasing smile turns a little sad.] I haven't been to Russia for more than six years. It would take a very long time to recover from that.

[passingthrough]

So, I need to get you to Russia and give you time to marinate there. But would you really stay or would you be off on your next adventure?

[candothat]

I wouldn't stay. [Which he says with some certainty. As much as he loves Russia (clearly), staying in one place isn't his thing. It will probably never be, outside of the oddball prison where there's not much of a choice.] Try not to be too sad that you'll never meet a version of me who is less Russian.

[passingthrough]

Who needs other versions of you when I have the best one? [Watch out for this fond smile!]

[candothat]

Best? I would hate to meet the worse ones.

[passingthrough]

You better not be putting yourself down, mister. That's my friend you're talking about.

[candothat]

It was a joke. [It actually was this time. Like, maybe it wasn't subconsciously, but there was no active self-deprecation there.] I would never be so foolish as to insult one of your friends to your face.

[passingthrough]

Good. Because I have the best friends and I'm very protective of them.

[candothat]

They're grateful for your willingness to protect them from themselves, I'm sure.

[passingthrough]

Good.

Wait, do you insult my friends behind my back? [He did say he wouldn't insult them to her face before.]

[candothat]

If I did, why would I tell you?
