Theres’s no argument from me: he’s an attractive one. I’m not certain how aware he is of that fact, mind. Vitaly likes his dog and his causes, and his mind goes little elsewhere.

I suppose there’s nothing to worry for on your side; only -

Sometimes a little too noble for my tastes, that one. Vanishes for stretches, bows out of conflict. It’s a wonder, too; put him in a guerilla situation and he’ll tear through like a fucking tank, but socially, Nova. Socially, he’s faint of heart, I believe.

He was married, you know. Now, that part is neither here nor there; she had an exceptionally public affair with Deforest - of all of the cocks in the world, she had to pick the prick.

Bloody mess, all of it. What I know of it, he let her do what she liked after he found out. No quarrel, no divorce. Vanished off the face of the earth, him.

The divorce came much later, though I can’t say I know the outcome. The extravagance of her lifestyle, though - I expect she bled him dry. Took advantage.

Fucking Madeline. Never could stand her.

What I mean here is: he’s passive, Vitaly is. Kindness and passivity open oneself to manipulation. Usage.

But I know you, Nova-Love. I believe you’d be good for him. You are far from passive. Perhaps he’ll take notes.

Ah, and -

Well, no harm in saying.

Verne is himself the reason you’ve never met Vitaly. Last you and Vitaly were in the vicinity of one another, you were involved with Verne; he asked us not to “fuck it all up” for him by letting you have an eyeful of Kozak.

He knew. I suppose we all suspected you might develop an appreciation for Ukraine, if you will.

Don’t be hard on Lolly; he only wanted the entirety of the time he had with you. […] Perhaps don’t mention it to him. He’s been stabbed in the ass with knitting needles and caught squatting in Darius’s apartment. And Nelli and Pippa coming around hopped up on stolen caps. That’s enough to manage.

Has he shown you his dog?
