Let's not focus on the airplane part of the idea...urrrgh.
See that? The ground should not be that far away!

But yes, I am excited too. Haha.

[asher_embry]

I'm sure the airplane windows have drapes or something? You could probably keep it closed so you don't have to see outside.

By the way, ya plokha gavaryoo pa rooskee.

[lacroix_styles]

I'll get back to you about that one when I'm on the ground again.

...still doing better than me. But I have technology on my side, or I will, mwaha.

[asher_embry]

Technology, huh? How so?

I learned another one, just for you: ti takaya prelesnaya.

[lacroix_styles]

You seriously think I'm going to go to some strange country without an electronic translator? No. I can push buttons and not end up all Hostel-style eyeless and...yeah.

Ah....heh...not fair...it's even less fair not in English! Heh.

You need to learn 'don't steal my kidney'. Because, yeah, urban legends are fun. Expect when they happen to you.
Your kidney requires a step ladder to reach though, you should be safe. My kidney though...woe.

[asher_embry]

It's Odessa. It's a huge tourist hub; nothing bad's going to happen. See, look - Hector's worrying is rubbing off on you.

Somehow I don't think that is going to be in any Russian-English phrase books.

[lacroix_styles]

It totally is, he's got me so paranoid. Gah. This is why I need to get out of this apartment for a while.

Maybe I should learn sign language then, isn't that like...universal?

[asher_embry]

We're going to have fun. Just keep thinking about everything we're going to do - clubs and beaches and everything else.

You're not learning sign language just so you can tell people not to steal your kidneys, Ross.

[lacroix_styles]

I've been socially deprived, I may have too much fun and decide to just not leave.
...which would work for about a day, or two, however long it took Hector to get a flight there. Yikes.

Well not just for that, no. XD Besides, I drink, my kidney probably isn't great anyway.
I meant in general, since I don't have the time or brain power to learn every other language in the world.

Though Senri is going to try to help me learn some Japanese...that should be...amusing.

[asher_embry]

What, you wouldn't miss Hector?

Japanese, huh? And sign language? Why the desire to know a bunch of languages?

[lacroix_styles]

I would, but I think I can stand missing him a couple of weeks. Since I'm going to be seeing him for the rest of my life...yeah, a couple of weeks I can manage to survive.
...married people don't spend this much time together, seriously.

I don't know, why know anything? Random impulses lead interesting places, and besides, I've got time to learn things.

[asher_embry]

You'll be fine for a couple weeks. Besides, it's not like he can't call you if he gets paranoid about what you're doing.

You think Hector's going to want you learning new languages like that? He'll probably learn them with you so he can keep spying on your convos.

[lacroix_styles]

He's said I have to check in every day or he's going to come find me.
Nice to know you're important, huh?

Hey, if he wants to learn too...he can do that, I'd like to hope he's not that paranoid about what I talk about.
But he probably is.
I think he said something about having to learn Japanese too if I did, actually.

[asher_embry]

Every day? Wow.

Considering he follows you everywhere, he probably is that paranoid.

[lacroix_styles]

Yeah, but that's just Hector.

I'm special like that, clearly.

[asher_embry]

I'll try not to distract you too much while you're on the phone... maybe.
