"Saveli?" Alexei said, frowning as the Slytherin froze seemingly for no reason. For a moment she didn't seem to hear him, and then suddenly she was backing away, tears forming in her eyes. "What? Wai-" he started, but Saveli had already turned and began to flee. Alexei sprang into pursuit...

Alexei felt a little of the guilt fade as Saveli explained. She could do better than a kid who kissed her and then blew her off - and he didn't particularly mean himself. Whilst he supposed a year or two down the line he might consider her a potential romantic partner, at present he was simply...

Alexei's relief when Reuben left was short-lived. The moment the boy was out of earshot Saveli turned to question him - as if he'd done something wrong. "Oh... I am sorry," he said, taking a small step backwards. "I did not know you wanted to talk to him. You were looking uncomfortable." If...

"I was born ready for ice cream," Alexei said, and was about to push Saveli back when they were stopped suddenly by a boy several years his junior. He frowned, tilting his head slightly and trying not to read too much into Saveli's suddenly uncomfortable stance. "Hollo, Reuben," he said...

Alexei laughed, glad to be spending the afternoon with Saveli and not his mother. He never laughed like this in Russia. "I do not know what that is," he admitted, "but it has the word puppy in it, so probably." He grinned, pausing to eat and listen to Saveli talk about her aspirations. "Hah...

Alexei looked a little pained when Saveli told him his company was enough. She was probably just being polite, which made him feel even worse for not having sent her a gift. Truth be told, he wasn't sure whether it had been acceptable to do so. The only time he'd ever met her father, he'd been...

Alexei blushed, his grasp (or lack of one) on the English language being a sensitive area for him. Still, he knew Saveli only meant it in good humour, and so laughed lightly. "I don't know what you mean by 'forget'," he said. "I did not really know it well in the first place." When they reached...

Alexei didn't think Saveli needed to 'dress up' at all, but she seemed so confident in her outfit that he refrained from saying so. "Oh, ice cream?" he said, laughing. They hadn't arranged much else besides the flowers prior to meeting. "It is going to be on you, yes?" He shook his head, taking...

It was no wonder Alexei didn't spot Saveli until she waved at him - her usually subdued attire had been replaced with a brilliant pink jacket, black dress, and pink heels. "Wow," he said, a smile lighting his face. "Hollo, Saveli. You are looking very pink. And lovely," he clarified quickly. He...

New Zealand was a strange and foreign place to Alexei, who scarcely left Russia except to accompany his mother on business trips and to meet Saveli Matveev. Still, now that he had the latter cause to visit the country, he'd found its quaint wizarding villages and rural charm had become quite the...

Soon the guests began to arrive, and Alexei greeted each of them with a smile, reserving the biggest of all for his new friend and dragon-hunting partner, Aion. He hadn't invited anybody else, most of his friends being older than him, but Saveli surely had plenty of her own. Feeling a little...

Some months had lapsed since Alexei had last seen Saveli, so upon receiving her invitation to a party he had accepted enthusiastically. She was a funny girl, to him - he could not make her out - but there was something about her that he found himself unfathomably drawn to. Of course, a party...

"Yes! Very," Alexei agreed, splitting a beam. It was a shame, he felt, that his parents would not share this boy's fondness for the little dragon, but the Russian was long beyond caring whether or not he pleased his mother. He'd learned many things of her over the last few months, and though his...

When the boy replied in English, Alexei brightened - if it were possible - even more. "Yes! I am here only for today," he explained, tickling the chin of his miniature dragon, who did not seem all that pleased to be riding on the shoulder of a human. "Are you from these parts? Could you tell me...

Alexei was not in Scandinavia for his own pleasure, but in order to run an errand for an old friend of his whose free time was not presently so plentiful. Still, to visit such a beautiful region without pausing to take in the sights would have been a ridiculous waste, so after completing his...

When Alexei stepped off the train and onto Brightstone Station, the sheer density of its population momentarily rooted him to the spot. Russia was 'busy' at peak times, such as during this holiday, but never had he seen a village swarming with quite so many witches and wizards. And it was so...

Welcome back, Mika! :hugs:
