would resent that if he knew she was thinking it. He sleepily pulled his blanket over himself more.

isn't that heavy of a sleeper. He stirred a bit when she started and woke up pretty quickly, confused and sleepy still.

frowns a bit as he tried to sit up, his frown only deepened when he noticed the scarf around his wrists as he tried to rub at his eyes. He'd taken his mask off. "Elizaveta, what are you doing here?"

pulled his hands free from it easily enough and grabbed for his mask sliding it back on and running his fingers through his hair. "What kind of mischief would I be getting into?"

stared at her for a moment then got up, gathering his papers into a neat pile. "I don't exactly lead an exciting life right now."

wasn't quick enough to stop her from stealing the sheet. He sighed instead and reached out to grab the coffee. "Thank you Elizaveta."

nods and glances at the papers, she hadn't grabbed anything to important. He took a sip of the coffee enjoying it. "Thank you for the coffee."

shrugs and shifts to get comfortable on the couch, he glanced at his watch to check the time. "Want to stay for dinner?"

nodded as he returned a small smile, "I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want you to stay." He took another sip of the coffee, he would have to say she was the only one who made coffee that was almost as

good as his own.

grinned over his cup and nods, "it has been a while since you've come around for a visit. How have you been?"

hummed a it in thought as he watched her over his mug. "I see, well knowing you, you'll manage."

shakes his head as he thought for a moment about that, "German was over a while ago... Greece is avoiding me I think."

huffed a bit at that and shrugged, "Germany was yes." He thought about Greece for a moment then shook his head. "I don't think he liked my confession very much. Anyway what would you like for dinner?"

finished off his coffee and slowly got up, "I hadn't really thought about it, might need to go out to the store if you don't mind."

laughs a bit and nods, "I'll come with you, wont be expecting you to go on your own now."

blinks at the old man and frowns. "I am not an old man."

rolled his eyes a bit as he ruffled her hair and went to get his shoes and a light jacket on.

grinned at that now and chuckles lightly as he held the front door for her.

almost to amused by her attitude now as he closed the door behind them and locked up. "Walk or drive?"

for a moment and decides walking would be good.

shakes his head and tucked his hands in his pockets. "Nope, how about for you?"

rolls his shoulders in a shrug. "I suppose, been reading."

slept a bit funny, he's willing to chalk it up to age but there's no way he'd tell her that.

blinked at the sudden massage and nodded, "yes of course I am." He looked a bit affronted but smiled shortly afterwards. "I am."

rolled his eyes and straightened his back, "I'm perfectly good my little spit fire." He grinned at her and nodded, he didn't think he could stop her though.

smiles at that as he headed for the closest market. "You always seem to."

shakes his head and smiles over at her. "Oh yes, that's true."

she should be proud of herself. The question made him blink and he nodded a bit. "Ah, well what would you like for dinner?"

nods and smiles a bit, "stew sounds good. We'll go to the butcher first than."

headed for his favourite butcher, the guy was getting old and his sons were learning to take over the business but he was still the best one around.

everyone should like his country. He is very proud of it. He held the door for her when they got to the shop and went to the counter, greeting the old man behind the counter and placing his order after asking

after his family.

finished placing his order and looked over at her, "so anything exciting you're not telling me about then?"

grins at the question, more mischief than anything before chuckling. "Yes, I'm living a double life as the most handsome man anyone could sleep with."

rubbed his arm feigning hurt. "No one actually. My love life has been so boring I think there's cobwebs in it."

shrugs and smiles as he tucks his hands in his pockets. "You know, I'm actually okay with it right now."

smiles and nods as he looked up when the owner of the butcher shop called his name and held out a brown paper wrapped package. "I'm trying to be good..."

looks affronted at that as he took the package. "Ye of little faith. I can do my best, it's easy when I have no temptation."

blinks and shakes his head. "Not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that it might help my chances with someone if I ever see them again."

rolls his eyes as he handed her the meat and paid the owner. "Enough about my sex life, it's boring."

pinches her arm lightly at the agreement. "Vegetables and fruits."

smiles brightly and makes his way to his favourite fruit vendor. He had a place he went for everything. "As you wish."

wished the Herakles felt the same way. It didn't take long to find the fruit vendor, letting her pick out some things.

quite glad she's passed that. She's much cuter when she looked genuinely pleased about something. He took the fruits from her and added them to a basket, counting out what they had before handing the money

over to the vendor.

smiles as he walked with her to the next stall they needed. "That just means you're not eating good food then."

smiles at her as he moved onto the next place. "You wont be disappointed in the least."

pats her on the head as he laughed a bit. "I do say."

smiles at her, "well you are still like a little girl to me."

blinks and raises a brow at her. "Well you are..."

looks her over and shrugs, "well you don't look like one anymore, but I still think of you as one."

shakes his head lightly and pats her on the head again. "If I do that I might want to do something silly. I like thinking of you as a little girl."

glanced around the market place and paused, "see that woman over there?" he motioned to a young women who was lounging against her stall, she had long dark brown hair piled on top of her head and bright brown

eyes. She was pretty, "see I would ask her out. Treat her to dinner then enjoy a night of sex. If she wants to join me anyway. Maybe I am getting to old."

looked over at her and laughed a bit. "Never said I would get it. I know you better than that."

winked at her before he headed for the last stall and picked out a fresh loaf of bread. He was interested, but he tried not to think about it.

nods at her question and looks over at her. "I think we can head back home now."

took all the bags from her and started back to his place. "Shall I make up the guest room for you?"

continued walking, nodding to her slightly. "Anything for a cutie."

smiles at her, "if I did that I would never have any fun."

lead the way back to his place and soon enough he had the food on the kitchen counter and was starting to get the meal ready.
