WHO: Vanya, Natasha, Katyusha
WHEN: Dinner time~
WHERE: Centralia Apartments
WHAT: Braginsky family bonding time.
Natalia arrived earlier than Ivan and Katerina from work. Ivan, because she was eager to see him. She did not have the time to follow him to work as the cafe was a distance from the clinic and there was not enough time to catch up to him. Katerina, so that her sister would not lay a finger on their brother while she was not there. It had been a while since she last spent time with both her siblings. Natalia wore a dress in Ivan's favorite color and tightened the knot on the signature white ribbon in her hair for the occasion.
In order to make herself useful, Natalia had taken the liberty to fix everything despite her brother telling her not to. It was the least she could do for her brother, after all. Their finest tablecloth over the dinner table and the flames on the candlesticks above it wavered slightly due to the breeze coming from outside; Natalia promptly shut the windows after the sight. Dinner for two by candlelight - it was romantic. Perfect.
Until her ears picked up squeaking and scampering in the kitchen.
By reflex, Natalia took her knife from its holster under her skirt and hurled it at the rat, pinning it to the wall. Brother never told her not to kill rodents. Thus, her actions were acceptable. Perfectly acceptable.
