</div><b>Name:</b>Dom Nikolaev<br/><b>Age:</b>21<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heteroflexible<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Moscow but currently Baymont, California<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Monday 5th July 2021 (early morning)<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Diary Room<br/><b>Wearing:</b>see image<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>Hans<br/><b>Tagging:</b>Grace (<a class="username" data-user-id="2019" data-username="Mellifluous" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2019/">Mellifluous</a>) | Matt (mentioning and his head poking in)<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/>Of course, Grace got up. A typical westerner, unable to just sit still and talk when she didn't like what she was about to hear and totally incapable of negotiations or any sort of friendly diplomacy. Dom did her best to remain passive and calm.<br/><br/>Grace quipped at Dom from the door, biting at Dom about her relationship with Hans and questioning or more like snapping at Dom about pursuing Matt. Which wasn't entirely accurately, she was flirting with Matt.. or more had a conversation.. then flirted one single time. Well, there was the recoupling when she made eye contact with him... Either way, Dom wasn't actively pursuing him, if she was... well, this is not how things would be going. Still, Grace's fire amused and delighted Dom in some ways. She still liked her and couldn't help but smile for a moment then quickly suppressed it knowing that it might come across as antagonistic. Dom slowly closed her eyes, composed herself and reopened them again as she let Graces words sink in, influencing her thoughts and perceptions of the moment.<br/><br/>A head peaked around the door, it was Matt:<br/><br/><i>“Everything alright?” He asked briefly, looking at Grace and flicking his eyes over to the Russian troublemaker. “I’ll...uh...be in the kitchen when you’re done.”</i><br/><br/>That was sweet of Matt... Dom knew there was a reason that she liked him... but yet this still had to happen to Dom continued.<br/><br/>"<b>My relationship with Hans is my business as yours with Matt is your business this is very true."</b>Dom closed her eyes and nodded.<b>"But my relationship with Matt is also my business. This is Love Island and the name of the game is to get to know people, da? Why is it boys are allowed to pursue women and yet girls are not expected to do this. Matthew seems like a very nice man and I am liking this. From where I am, it seems to me that his loyalty to you is misplaced. This is not personal as I respect your fire... Is passion, I speak of, yes?"</b>Dom thought about the words, her Russian always came out stronger in moments of tension so she attempted to tamp it down to speak clearly.<b>"However, you are not married to this man and he has freedom to choose as I have freedom to greet him and to be making a friend. He only frets and worries that he will be unkind to you if he is friendly to me. This is not something that is fair. I will be making friends with whomever I choose, not you or anyone will stop me from doing this. If he wishes to ignore me or not speak to me that is his choice. I am here to speak with you, about us, not about the boys."</b><br/><br/>Dom took a breath and stood up, taking a couple steps closer to Grace.<b>"If this makes you uncomfortable..."</b>She paused only a moment to avoid saying something entirely antagonistic, she held herself back mentally.<b>"I was coming here to discuss with you but even my patience grows thin, is how it is said, yes?"</b>A smile split her face, one that held no warmth.<b>"If after this you are not liking me, and have what they call hard feelings about it. I do not care. I came with the olive branch to make a peace. We should have been civil about this. Now, I am not of the mind to do that. I shall make friends with Matt or any boy that I choose. You do not get in my way, Grace or I will become far less patient." </b><br/><br/>Maybe Dom's aggressive side came out, or maybe she just wanted to see if she could make Grace flinch... It was childish and Dom knew it but sometimes she just couldn't help herself. Dom felt the sudden urge to lurch forward a little like a dog about to bark. The move was subtle barely a little head nod but it was there right before she continued. Dom smiled,<b>"I wonder which one of us, he meant that for?"</b>She knew Matt's words were for Grace but at this moment Grace was pissing her off a little bit and the comment was entirely meant to rile her up even more. Dom liked the woman's fire but her stubborn head and unwillingness to make peace simply made Dom want to go at her even more. Dom was not a flight person when push came to shove as the Americans said... Dom was a fight person.
