[Natalia's curled up in a large armchair in her room, a rather undignified position she doesn't usually use in public. She has a book in her lap, but she doesn't appear to be reading it. Instead, she's staring off into space.

She's silent for a long moment, before she finally sighs.]

It's so quiet lately.

[Her eyes widen when she sees him; somehow, she wasn't expecting a response.]

Huh?

Oh. Oh, no, I didn't mean - I suppose I'm just not used to it.

[aerial_laser]

[Video]

[aerial_laser]

That's very kind of you. I'd love to.

It's been such a long time since we had a chance to talk.
