Olga went and retrieved her messenger bag from where she set it down. The current books she was reading for class were in there, and that's what her homework was, really. To read. She scuttled after Sergei, slowing once she reached the table, and smiled a bit to see it looking to well used. It was really fun to see well...his life spread out over it, pretty much. She loved seeing people's work spaces, and they said a lot about people. Like Sergei. He was so darn efficient with his printer right there and a jar neatly containing all his high lighters and pens. She moved around to the most unoccupied side of the table, where she could safely lay out one book without disrupting much. She settled into the chair, and fished around before pulling out one of her texts. Flipping open to where she needed to keep reading, she resting the book on the edge of the table, and for a good few moments, looked like she was going to be quiet until--- "Do you ever do anything for yourself?" She looked up from her book, but still held it open as she blurted the question.

He sighed very loudly and stopped. His eyes were hurting and sometimes...well...He didn't want Olga to see but he had to break them out.
The reading glasses.
"I do." He mumbled. "I have collection of maps...from around world. In my office." he rose a brow at her.

Olga's face went blank as she stared, and stared, and stared. Then there was a slapped sound---of the book meeting her face. Olga had whipped up her text and buried her face in it under the pretext (text, get it?) of reading it closely. What she was really using it for was to hide her cheeks, which were redder than tomatoes. She didn't need a mirror to know that. They burned something awful. He had readers. Sergei had readers. On top of that, he just looked so--- So--- There were no words. Only feels she couldn't handle. She literally couldn't. They were soulmates said the rampant shipper in her. Soulmates because she had a pair of readers too. She needed a picture, but the Polaroid would be too obvious. Reluctantly, Olga put the book down on the table, and then leaned to pull her iPhone out of her bag, while leaning over, under the table, she put it on silent, and then returned above---where she then acted like she was just checking some things---and totally not pulling up her camera app. She was pretty pro at iPhone photo stalking, but it was another thing when your target was right there and there weren't a crowd of people around to obscure you. Olga pretended like she was texting. Yes. She had both of her thumbs up like she was texting. As she snapped a few silent photos. She was still checking her phone as she smiled a bit. He...answered her question literally...except she wasn't asking it literally, and she laughed a bit. "Oh well---I know---um---" Yeah. She knew that hobby of his too. On top of the postage stamps. "But what I meant is just...right after high school you joined the Navy...and I know you did it because you wanted to, but it's still such a...for the greater good of many kind of thing. Now you got out, and back, and now you're preparing to go to the Academy to become a Police Officer...yet another thing for the good of the community and I figure this one's more for life, yeah?" She glanced up from her phone a bit sheepishly.

It was hard to pretend that Olga wasn't clearly up to something when she made it VERY OBVIOUS THAT SHE WAS UP TO SOMETHING.
After all, he had been LOOKING AT HER.
Sergei pushed the glasses up gently, and tried not further entice whatever actions she was attempting to do. Nadia, why was your friend the weirdest.
"Being able to go to school, that is thing for myself." He scoffed, "Freedom to become officer, that is thing for myself. In Russia, once you are army man, you are always army man."

Olga continued to pretend like SHE WASN'T UP TO ANYTHING. Once she had taken good enough pictures, she leaned back over to drop her phone into her bag again. Also...he made it worse by pushing up his glasses. She couldn't help the soft dreamy sigh....remembered who exactly she was sitting across from, and then snapped her attention back to her book. She held it with both hands, and despite just telling herself she was to focus on it, she looked back up at him instead. Oh. Oh man...she shouldn't---but she couldn't help herself. "But Sergei---" She whispered conspiratorially, "We're in America." She teased, and then grinned, but the grin soon disappeared from her face as it struck her what being a policemen entailed. Especially here. In Destiny City with magic flying around and guys running around in black military uniforms stealing souls and draining energy and monsters. It wasn't bad enough with the regular crime. Olga's gaze was lidded and but her expression went blank as she thought. After a moment she snapped back to, laying her book down on the table top, and resting her hands on the opened pages. "Hey...have you uh...heard of any....oh...." She looked off to the side for a moment. "Crazy things happening in the city? Like...really crazy. Really...weird. Um...magical. Even..." She hedged a glance at him.

He gave her look, as if she didn't understand what she was saying. Because he obviously knew that he was in America. It was that he didn't understand she was teasing.
"I know ve are in America." He crossed his arms, "Vere you not listening? In America, I get to go to school. I am doing vhat I vant."
He stopped, "Zeriously, Vhy you care? Vhy does it matter?"
The quiet made him antsy and all he wanted to do was finish his paper.
"No." He repeated. After all, It wasn't like he had become a magical knight to battle a force of evil and monsters at night. He pinched the bridge of his nose, right under his glasses.

"Eh?" Olga stared at him blankly for a moment before she caught on, and she waved her hand a bit frantically at him. "Oh! I was teasing! I'm teasing! I know you know! You just said in Russia but we're not---" She paused, and then grinned at him a bit. "Um..." She thought the answer seemed obvious, so she felt kind of dumb for what she was about to say next, and she lightly played with her book. "Because I...wanna be your friend and it matters because it's important to you and I want to...learn...?" Hrm. Why she suddenly praised it as a question she wasn't sure, but she couldn't help but give him another blank look when he told her 'no'. No... No...surely he must have heard something by now? He was a pretty sharp guy. "Uh...do you really mean that?"

The typing on his computer stopped and he let his hands fall back. Instead of looking at her now, he contemplated if she should tell her the truth. She was interested in his life, for some reason.
"I...." He mumbled some incoherent russian and then cleared his throat. "There has been odd goings of night. Went out for run...I saw one of these...white terrorist. Monster." He rubbed his eyes.
"It was big dog. I don't know." So he looked back at her. "Vhy? Have seen things as well?"

Wait a second... Olga stared at him blankly again, before she burst:  "You lied to me!" A pause. " Again!" She looked scandalized. Nadia was right! So cagey! So dodgy! Much gypsy! Wow! Olga lowered her finger though and stopped looking scandalized in favor of the stuff she was being told. She leaned forward, listening intently with a growing sense of excitement at the thought she wasn't the only one experiencing weird things either. More specifically, he seemed to be running into senshi and youma too!? She choked. "Oh---more than just seeing! There's the guys in black---" And of course, she just flew off again, because it was Sergei, and she trusted him. "Black military looking uniforms---they're called the Negaverse, and they can sap your energy by touching you and steal your soul! I had my energy sapped a few times, and then one night this one kid stuck his hand right into my chest and tried to take my soul--"

He scoffed. "I did not lie. I said no." He stared at her, "It was not vhat you vanted to hear." He also waited a moment, "It is rude to point, Olga."
Her story made his hands itch and he dug them deep into his leg. She was practically spilling her secrets to an almost stranger. No matter how she trusted him.
"Olga, do you always run mouth about this?" He rose a brow, "How do not know that I am man in black? How do not know..-" He got up and lifted her chin, "That I not sap energy, and take you back to this...Negaverse? Hmm?" He let her chin go.
"You need to be more careful." He thought about calling Polaris...Aurora and speaking to her about such things, but he was not quite ready to admit to Olga that he was a knight, meant to combat such monsters and men.
"It is a war, no?" He sat back down. "A war, they are losing."

"You did lie! It had nothing to do with what I wanted to hear---I asked you a question and you said 'no' but then when I pressed you told me the truth!" Her finger had dropped. "No, it's rude to lie, also--" She pointed at him again. "You should be a lawyer instead of a police officer." Seriously. With all his dodgy wording and what not. Olga blinked as he spoke, and her brows knitted as he drew closer. She froze as he lifted her chin---and she couldn't help it. She blushed. Wildly. Ahhh butterflies in her tummy-- Right when it was indeed a serious moment and he was making a point. She couldn't help herself. Actually, belated, when he said it, a part of her did wonder. In a way, it was like a really popular cliche. The military man who seems like a stand up guy is in fact part of the Negaverse, and in a way, she could all too easily see him fitting in---especially after all the stuff Nadia said. Olga was silent for a long while, obviously thinking, before she let out a small gasp and her eyes widened a bit. Her expression then relaxed, because she had come to a very obvious conclusion. "You're not." She said simply, smiling up at him. "Because if you were, you would have gotten rid of me a long time ago." She then grinned, and even seemed a bit smug, but was mostly pleased with this answer. It was nothing if not true. "Also, what's wrong with talking about it? By sharing information---that's how you become aware, and it's how you warn others! Being hush-hush doesn't help anyone---isn't the confusion in the media proof of that?" She paused for a moment. "Who's losing?"

"Your question was not zpecific enough, Olga." He actually leaned back and smirked. "Perhaps, if you tried to be more detailed.." He tilted her head, "I zee many weird things on news. Vhy is that surprise when I zay no?"
He scoffed, "Lawyers lie, for money. Vill not vaste my time." Or his talents.
"You can be very stupid, you know?" He said it bluntly. "Zometimes, Sharing? It is what brings you to trouble. You will tell wrong people, and they will tell someone higher then them. One day, Olga, You will see what running mouth will do." He sighed.
"Ignorance is bliss, both for the order and chaos." He fingered his hands together. "Vhy do you ask Olga? What are concerns of the-" He stopped, "Ah you've been attacked, that is why? Hold on." He grabbed a pad, "I have friend, if you describe what happened, I will call her."

She was getting riled, and a bit flustered (because ahhhhh he was smirking--). She kept pointing at him. " You knew exactly what I was talking about." Which made the whole run around he gave her---was giving her---completely irrelevant. Olga was completely taken aback though as he was blunt with her. She stopped pointing as her hand fell. "Eh!?" Ow. Yeah. Ow. That kinda stung. She wasn't stupid, and it wasn't stupid to tell someone you thought was good something. After all---Corey had told her about it---and he didn't even know her that well, but she was a very reliable person. "Hey!" She piped back, her brows furrowing briefly. "There's nothing wrong with being honest! People aren't better off being closed off and silent like you Mister---" She made an emphatic wave at him, "Iceberg." First thing she could think of. "Captain America's honest and he communicates." Her expression then turned dismayed, because, uh...wasn't he listening? She just told him why it concerned her---hey wait. Sergei had a friend... and it was a girl? Nooooooooooooo--Hey wait a minute. Olga blinked and then stared at him. "How is telling your friend what happened going to help?" Her mind was already speculating. "Is she a police officer?" Or---

"Ah but Captain America speaks to his allies, though he knows to be true." He cocked his head, "Captain is not so perfect either, he has his mistakes and it would cost him his life." You trying to school him on his idol Olga? |:
"There is plenty wrong in honesty." He scoffed, "Because not everyone is honest. You must be zmart, to make zure, when you speak." He shook his head. Olga was trouble.
There was no point in telling her about his night life. Or new night life.
"She is student like me." He cocked his head, "But she is also police." Wasn't really a lie. If he was to break it down, Polaris, Aurora, was a captain of a squad like himself. Nevermind she was like...19 or something.
"She knows more about these people. I met her, on jog, we were attacked."
