"I honestly had figured that you were going to head back to London after a time. If you were going to live back here in the USSR, then why would you live in such a remote place as this one?" Vitali hadn't shown it, but that was one of the most suspicious actions of all. He didn't do anything to illustrate it just yet of course.<br/><br/>After all, if she were up to something, then he hadn't wanted to do anything that would have tipped her off about him knowing that she was up to something. Rather, he just filed it in some aspect of his mind that was increasingly full of thoughts about her.<br/><br/>Naturally, though, he didn't want to believe that a single one of them were true. He cared far too much about her.<br/><br/>"Did you want to live all the way out here then? Eventually I figure that I could help you find someplace to stay that's a little more permanent then if you'd like it."<br/><br/>Vitali sighed for a time and shook his head, listening to her thoughts on pride. Unlike her, he felt that space had humbled him completely. He wasn't going to be someone who would be boastful over his achievements, even if there were only a very few men in the entire world and a single woman who could say the exact same thing that he could.<br/><br/>Once he was being poked, Vitali let down his various suspicions and decided to let go. There wasn't anything that she was up to. There couldn't have been considering that she was being far too much fun to let anything be up.<br/><br/>As a result, he soon exhaled and softened his appearance. Eventually he looked up toward her and just let loose a sigh.<br/><br/>"Well, I actually technically saw very little since I could only look through my scope. There are a few photographs that I took that you might be allowed to look at, however. Would you like to see something like that?"<br/><br/>Maybe things could really have been just like they were when they were children again.
