People appearing suddenly tends to happen in Milliways. Still, Esfir Shostakovna never really lost her Soviet Union induced paranoia, and having a highly adventurous seven-month-old baby around has only heightened it.

So, Michael has a tiny woman looking at him from her own table; expression mostly neutral, one eyebrow slightly raised, green eyes watchful, dark hair short, and one hand firmly holding onto the back of her son's jumpsuit.

Her smile widens, warms into something a bit more approachable.

"[Not many people speak Russian here.]"

The warmth is appreciated, in the middle of all this.

"[They don't in Miami, either.]" Now-former landlord not withstanding. "[It is a beautiful language.]"

"[It is.]"

There is something wistful in her voice and smile.

"[But, most people here seem to speak English...actually, the translator, is makes nearly everything English, but many people seem to come from America or Britain, especially around the turn of the twentith century.]"

"[Are there people here from other times?]"
