Hello! Congratulations on the job, Sergei. And I'm glad you got to see Spence. Very glad.

Good luck tomorrow, Brother.

Thank you, Dimitri.

Hey Sergei! Congratulations on the job! I'm so glad things are going well for you, that's wonderful. I know you enjoy that sort of work, so I'm sure it will be good for you, on top of the fact that being gainfully employed is always good, of course.

It's great that you were able to see Spence, I'm sure it made her day. I'm so pleased she has you... that you have each other.

I'll come visit you sometime soon, darling, or if you'd like we can go out for coffee or vodka. I love you, and I don't want you to be alone, even if you do have this handy LJ now.

Very good! Dimitri and I are trying to get the rest of our family here. They shouldn't have to stay where they are when they're having such hard luck.

I am too. I brought her flowers and she smiled at it was just so nice to see.

I think coffee is better. Unless you need the vodka! I'd like to see you though. Thank you.

If I can help with your family, just say the word. I'm sure we can work something out. I understand if it's something you need to do yourself, though. Whatever is best, my friend.

You're so sweet, Sergei. I love that you make her smile.

And you're welcome. Coffee is good, we can do that soon. How about tomorrow, after you finish work?

My pride is my downfall, we both know that. If I were to say I'm too proud to accept help, wouldn't that mean that they were stuck there in that place going hungry? We're trying to get them out before winter again. Because it's cold and two less people to work isn't going to help. I'm not going to ask for anything, because I don't feel it's right. But if you offer, I wouldn't say no. It's not my place to refuse.

I love to make her smile.

Tomorrow sounds perfect.

Sergei... I inherited everything my parents had. They had no one else to leave it to, as I was their only child. I sold the house, and whatever Father did, the life insurance was... more than I could ever spend.

I'll wire the money there, and tell them to send it anonymously. Your family will believe whatever they want to believe, unless you tell them otherwise. Consider it some measure of repayment for the cruelty with which I once treated your brother.

Why don't you talk about it with Dimitri and I tomorrow.

You're wonderful, Tasha. You really are.

I'll do that, then. And thank you, Sergei. I do my best.

Welcome to the Infernalnet, Sergei. Grudgingly, I have to say that this LiveJournal device has its uses... and might possibly even be fun. Living with Jude, Nancy and Scarlett really is making me soft...

Congratulations on the job, it's fantastic news. I'm really glad things have worked out for you, despite the early hardships.

I don't want to hear about that! The soft part, not the living with beautiful women part.

Thank you! I am too. This is better. I'm doing better.

Fair enough! I'll just keep that to myself.

You're welcome, comrade.

I'm really glad you were there for her, Sergei.

Me too.

Which means you don't have to be.

She's my little sister!

And you're the one who hurt her in the first place! Stay away.

Heh. Because you don't know anything about hurting your siblings at all, do you, Sergei?

I never slept with mine.

Fuck you!

Holy CRAP guys why don't you just whip out your dicks and measure.

Rhia doesn;t need you two fighting like little bitches, okay?

HI SERGEeeiiiii1!

You do have a way of putting things, Hope.

Hi there!

It's cos I don't have inhabitations!

Oh, Hope. How I love you.

I love you too!

Hah!

Well said.

You stay away too!

Hey, not a problem, Big Guy.

You what?

I didn't sleep with my siblings. Unlike Owen there.

That much I assumed.

Sergei, did he hurt Rhia?

Not on purpose, or I would have been more...angry.

He slept with Carys and Rhia found them. And I guess it freaked her out. She says that's why she's in hospital.

Holy shit!

Not that I'm one to talk about incestual desire, but Jesus! I'd like to think I wouldn't have done it with my brother, had I had one.

The strange thing is, as far as Carys is concerned, I'm actually not entirely surprised. I'm only surprised that Griff's standards would be so low. Oh, poor Rhia. That would have to be such a mindfuck. I mean, Carys looks just like her. Ugh.

Yes...she said something like that. Something like she thought her mother was making her see herself being fucked by her brother? I don't know what she meant by it, but either way...my poor Rhia. She can talk about it now, though. So it's better than it was. Tamm's been amazing. I want to thank him.

As far as I can tell, Owen put a stop to it which is when Carys came on to me. And I refused her which is what started allll the bollocks with Little Moscow. I'm sorry, I thought you knew. Carys seemed happy enough to tell me about it.

Oh, you don't have to apologise, none of this is your fault. Carys is a shit-stirrer, and will do whatever she feels is in her best interests at any given time, no more, no less. I understand how all this fits together much better, now. I did wonder what interest Carys of all people had in Little Moscow. I'm glad it wasn't anything more sinister. She's just as likely to get bored with all that and move on, if she hasn't already, and I'm quite happy with that.

Rhia has obviously been really troubled by this... it's not surprising that she would say things that don't really make sense. Tamm really is an awesome guy. I know him quite well, I could see to it you can get together whenever, really.

She certainly is a one of those.

I'd like that. I'd like very much to meet him. Rhia says he saved her so I'd like very much to thank him for that.

Hey, that's past, okay?

Yeah. Past.
