Most people never bothered to get to know the nuances of how to read Svetlana's words. It wasn't really anything that bothered her, she was never actively out to make friends as it were. Every relationship she had, from her marriage to Anatoly to the friendships she had formed in Lawrence, they all had just happened. Shared experiences, understanding. And those here had actually done what Svetlana never expected anyone to do. Actually figure out what she meant just by a phrase that could mean so much. It was strange, but it was also life. That, and Lawrence was known for the unexpected happening. Supernatural or in terms of interpersonal relations with others.
Taking the glass, Svetlana smiled some in thanks and sipped the wine for a moment. There was nothing wrong with classics in terms of baked goods. She wasn't really hungry or needing to eat anything at the moment, but there was time yet. Options were just good to have on hand. Especially once conversation picked up so it was more seamless.
And the question. Vague but pointed. Or it was just Svetlana knowing these things, either way.
"Sometimes the only thing you can do when those you care for are injured is to try and relax... company helps."
Yes, Florence had Freddie, but that didn't mean that only one person had to play the role of support. And it wasn't exactly difficult to know about Andy having been blinded by Maleficent. He had stated it on the boards, following the dots wasn't all that difficult if one knew the signs to look for or just how it felt to feel powerless while loved ones were suffering. And as it was something Svetlana well knew herself, why not?
Besides, getting some time to herself and with another female friend, well, it was still strange but also needed in her own right.
