[Action- Backdated to Sunday] Now is the Winter of our Discon-Lent
The problem was a simple one.
An overzealous, confused young woman and an anti-social, arrogant young man must be contained within a designated area for x amount of time in order for the desired outcome of relationship A to be equaled to relationship B given that A is in the negative and B is also in the negative.
The solution- obvious.
Pi(e).
Under the guise of a mathematician overzealous in his preparations for the approach of the impending 'Pi day' (which really didn't require much- read:any- acting), that morning a call was made to his beloved Nico detailing a rather intriguing plan to craft a large number of pastries for his lectures made with a solemn vow that the remaining dishes were hers to do with as she wished were her assistance granted.
To ensnare Sollomovici, all that was needed was a carefully timed text reading only thus:
Have you seen the fire extinguisher?
The knowledge of his sora mea's continuing agony proved (when combined with his irritability at the lack of cigars he'd given up temporarily for Lent) unbearable. Two variables would be converging at his apartment that night and they would not be leaving until this particular equation was solved.
So it was with a congenial grin that he received Nico that afternoon and it was with that same look he greeted the surly Moldovan an approximate twenty-two minutes after the text, arrived as the evening began to descend and the third wave of pie was in the midst of baking.
He watched bemusedly as his student hesitantly approached the kitchen as though expecting a massacre.
The ensuing shriek from his sora mea might have suggested he'd found one but Mihailo was nothing if not determined and no matter the bitching, the cursing or the threats, his word (and his pastries) was resolute.
