I wonder: do I look 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭?

I guess... being the lead researcher of a project that's meant to bargain with the higher being isn't 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘥, after all. I don't like my 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆 to be muddled because of some rules we can't 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬.

well, I guess I can't afford to slack off and not cause anymore trouble to sarge. I have to 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗞 𝗜𝗡. [ and his scarf does a twirl and an o—kay gesture, even patting his shoulder. 𝒐𝒉, you are going to prioritize your 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 now, 𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒓𝒚. ]

of course, of course! [ mitya chuckles, despite the closeness between them. maybe it's because he eases himself with kham, and the migraine he experienced earlier is slowly dissipating. ] ...will you stay here with me? or will you go now?

"Of course. But after that, rest darling." She ordered, her other hand gently grabbing his chin. "Got it?" Looking into his eyes, her smile soft but her look very serious.

[ mitya grips on the pillar while his own scarf continues to 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘮 forward. he was just going to look! not to bother valeriy! but his 𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘺 said otherwise. if 𝘪𝘵 were a person, it's literally 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 him to see sarge. well, he did want to ask how's he been doing recently, but after the

That soldier has the same thoughts as Mitya. If scarf has picked up the soldier's intentions and is trying to make Mitya assert his attention over Valeriy or is just trying to thwart the scientist's plans to stay undercover, who knows? But Valeriy is still luckily not paying attention to Mitya. »

[ imagine if he was on that soldier's shoes——𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵, mitya's already getting that thorough scolding from valeriy! he's not really spared from those, 𝒉𝒂𝒉! 𝒂𝒉𝒆𝒎, what he actually mean is, to be someone that's out of the field most of the time... the scientist can't help but observe even more, trying

There's a row of soldiers with their rifles ready, and Valeriy walking around them and correcting their pose, instructing them how to correctly shoot their gun. There's one who's always messing up his posture and Valeriy has corrected him for five times already. It's as if it's done in purpose...

I just realized: I only seen sarge doing all those strict supervision for his subordinates, but never the training regimen... 𝒉𝒖𝒉, I know he's strong, but I haven't managed to see that with my own eyes. maybe, next time, I'll have the chance.

[ well, the noise outside did 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨 mitya with curiosity, the scarf twirling to and fro behind him before 𝘪𝘵 lay down——there's valeriy, doing some instructions and supervising the new guards... he's watching by the corner, not to make his presence known (not yet). ]

...Maybe he can enjoy the sight of the Major instructing the new guards......

well, I did plan on escaping today, looks like it won't happen anymore... and vodyanitsa doesn't have her performance today, so is odette. it isn't really worth the dilly—dallying~. maybe I can just walk around the armory palace for a breather afterwards... surely, that'll do, right?

[ well, at least today's 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵, who knows what'll happen tomorrow? ^^ ... resumes back to paperwork, nose—deep into the details. ]

♪ lalala... lalalalalala... lalalalala... lalalala... ♪ [ the scientist hummed some few notes from vodyanitsa's song... he doesn't really remember the lyrics, but he remembers the tune correctly. it does give him inspiration through his hardworking spree. ]

[ 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘴 on some sofa. 𝒑𝒘𝒖𝒂𝒉! there's no way... no way he can end the stockpile... 𝘴𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘴, if only sarge is free! but where is he, anyways? mitya wanted some coffee for a boost. he's been such a good boy lately. ]

𝒎𝒎. [ mitya nodded without hesitation, being 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦𝘳 with what he feels at the moment. it seems that the medicine kicked in, and he'll resume his duties and finally end it all for the day. ] ... after this moment of respite, I have to return to my paperwork. I need to make some final

Gently squeezing his hand within her own, she smiled softly. "Thank you dear. I don't want to see you in anymore pain." The Avgin explained kindly, before letting go of his hand to massage his temple. "Does that feel good?"

| good night. that's enough musing.

i don't believe in the notion of 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴, because, what's the point of living if your destiny depicts in a linear motion without impact? is it because humans tend to be so short—lived that our efforts will be all for 𝘯𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵? that the gods loathe us for 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨?

since the 𝒕𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒔𝒂 expects too much from me, I shall not 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭 her. there's only a miniscule of adjustments left, then finally, the project is 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦. ... I just have a feeling that the progress won't be way 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺. It takes a bargaining chip where I can't even apply the fundamentals of

... then, I'm looking forward to it, alyosha! if it's something that I can simply tap on, leave it to me~. [ grinning ear to ear. ]

okay, okay, [ mitya shrugs, so is his scarf, refusing to agree on the hunter's words. ] I'm just worried that someone will take advantage of you... besides, I'm doing you a 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳 from fixing your rifle whenever it needs maintenance.

[ huffs. ] ...and if you get yourself in 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦, what then? is it still considered to be 𝘧𝘢𝘳—𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 from my intentions? 𝒐𝒉, and, probably including anything from sizing up the area and the perimeter of your specific location. that's mathematics for you.

then... how about this? I'll make sure that I'm the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 who can make you melt like that. I'd 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 it if someone beats me into it... maybe I wouldn't settle it with just scientific evidence alone~.
