[So hey guys, guess what today is? That's right, it's Christmas again!

Russian Christmas that is.

Have a certain cheery nation on your commuter again. Russia's in the common room, just chilling out for the moment. In a while he'll don the mantle of Ded Moroz, since obviously nobody else here is ready for that kind of commitment, and go about sneaking

'Do.. svidaniya..?' [ She repeats the last part slowly, as if she doesn't get it at all - hint: she really doesn't get any of it. ]

[za_rodina]

It means goodbye in my native language. [He smiles, as if he's used to explaining things of this sort.]

[irrationaling]

It is a very curious language. I mean.. I have never heard anything quite like it before.

[za_rodina]

I will take that as a compliment?

[irrationaling]

'Curious' or even 'strange' does not mean the same as 'bad'. It's simply 'different', after all.

[za_rodina]

I do believe I like your outlook, though it is certainly not one I have encountered oft before.

[irrationaling]

Unfortunately most people aren't quite accepting of 'different'. They want everything to just fit in their own standards. It's almost sad to see them stuck in such a mindset, honestly.

[za_rodina]

Mmmhm, I would have to agree. But life would be so boring if everyone was all the same.

[irrationaling]

Some people seem to have no concept of boring. Did you know some people actually enjoy books without pictures?

[za_rodina]

Why yes, of course. I enjoy reading fairly often. But you're young, so I can see how it would be boring to you.

[irrationaling]

Nineteen often isn't exactly considered 'young' anymore. At least not where I come from. [ kids are forced to grow up pretty fast in Victorian times, and especially in a city like London and its hardships. ]

But I think it's a trait more people share. A book without pictures just isn't worth the effort.

[za_rodina]

Technically you are an adult then, but you are still young.

Perhaps you could draw your own pictures then? If you find once without so boring.

[irrationaling]

Oh, I couldn't. I could only draw pictures for my own story, after all.. Perhaps I should just write all of that down one day.

[za_rodina]

Your own story?

[irrationaling]

Everyone has their own story, right? The story of their life, their adventures, everything.

[za_rodina]

Oh, yes, of course. And you want to write yours down?
