Tanya gave her sister an equally warm smile, waiting until her hands were free before she added a quick hug, glad the two of them didn't mind her being over at their place so much.  When she'd first started coming over, she'd worried that they were only being polite in letting her stay, because they felt sorry for her, but she'd since let go of that idea.  She didn't think Victor felt that way, and Natalia always seemed glad to see her, and treated her like a member of the family, rather than a guest.  The request to help set the table was a good example of that.<br/><br/>"I'm okay, just bored being by myself again," she said, moving to the cabinets to grab a few plates and glasses.  "Mom and Dad are working again, as usual, and all my homework's done, so I was hoping you two wouldn't mind the company," she added.  "School's good, although I still can't stand geometry," she grimaced, setting the plates and cups down at their places and going for silverware and napkins.  "Is Victor going to be home in time to have dinner with us, or should we wait on him?" she thought to ask.  Sometimes he got in a little late, but she didn't mind waiting for him.<br/><br/>((Apologies for the wait on this, I saw it when you posted, but I was about half asleep when it came in so decided I'd answer it the next day, ahd then got sidetracked and forgot I owed you a post!  I'll do better next time, I swear!))
