Svetlana Sergievskaya causes lyrical chess wars (thegirlisme) wrote in wariscoming,

Even if the question was not worded the way Rei wanted it to be, Svetlana understood what she was trying to ask. Even if their native languages were different, Svetlana understood the general sentiment of translating into English and things being in the wrong order or just awkward and not how they were intended. So there was at least that. And as none of them were native English speakers, none of them would judge Rei when she slipped up. Anatoly had the best grasp on English but even he knew how difficult it could be, if only from watching Svetlana and the girls struggle and then getting glared at by Svetlana when he tried to help her when she misspoke.

"Both, actually. I make recipes from what I experiment with if they work."

Because of her natural distrust of people, her perchance for guarding herself, Svetlana could tell that Rei was relaxed, though she kept from looking at Anatoly, meaning she didn't trust him. Though, given what she said of her father, it made sense for the most part. Why trust a man if the only one in your life who you were supposed to trust above all else lost that trust when you were just a child? Perhaps that was why it had been easier for Svetlana to trust Anatoly or even Freddie than she did most females. She'd been surrounded by her brothers, who while overprotective and ridiculous, had never betrayed her trust. So it was easier for her to trust males than females. Especially when females would sleep with a married man while knowing and not even care. Darcy was different. And younger females such as Brittany and Tina and now Rei... but as a rule, Svetlana felt more at 'ease' if it could be called that, around men. Hopefully with time Rei would open up around others more, though as Jelena seemed to have taken a fierce liking to Rei, at least Anatoly.

As for Fayina, the homework she was working on was about appreciating the differences in cultures between people in the city. After all, it was just social studies, not really history yet. But it was a laugh, children didn't care about differences, they used it to pick on others. Which was why Fayina got into trouble so much, because she was defending her sister and parents and Russia. So far she hadn't gotten herself injured in the process, but given her perchance for fights, it was only a matter of time.

Nodding in thanks, Fayina got into the seat next to Anatoly to keep working so she could ask him more questions in regards to translating as they came up.
