[ The recording is in Russian, spoken very seriously and unemotionally. ]

I am awaiting further orders.

[ He fully closes the distance between them, his face closer to hers. ] It's the one thing I'll gladly disobey. My one allowance. [ He brushes his thumb against her cheek. ] Natalia.

And I as well. Comrade. [ And she closes that distance, pressing her lips to his. ]

[ He kisses back softly, his other arm slinking around her waist. As always with Natalia, the cold in his chest started to warm ever so slightly.

But he couldn't let this distract him. They still had a mission. ]

[ She places a hand on his chest, giving him the tiniest of smiles. ] There will be time for that later, yes? Come. I will take you to the safe house.

Of course. [ He gives the smallest of smiles in return, placing his hand over hers. ] Lead the way, solnyshko.

[ And that? Makes her heart stop, but she's good at hiding it, dropping her hand and starting off towards a set of abandoned apartment buildings she'd found a while ago on one of her nightly runs. ] What else do you remember?

[ He rubs at a temple. ] I'm certain that was the only thing they made me forget. I recall our missions together as well as my own.

[ And she can't help the small tinge of sadness in her response. At least, supposedly, she can't help it. ] I see.

[ He knows it's dangerous to even think this, but he can't stop himself from asking. ] Is there something I should be aware of?

[ She pauses, pretending to think it over, pretending to have an internal debate about how wise it would be to say something. But she's already made that choice, and after a quick glance around, she grabs him by the (human) wrist, and drags him into a nearby ally, checking to make sure they're alone. Her voice is hushed, hurried-- as though she's afraid someone might hear. ] I danced. As a snowflake. I wasn't good enough to be the Sugar Plum Fairy.

You... [ His eyes are wide in slight confusion. What was she, Natalia didn't she...

His brain nearly twists, he feels some sort of burst behind his eyes and he remembers. ] You did.

[ And he smiles slightly, equally hushed. He reaches up to cup her cheek again. ] You always make me proud, Natik.

[ And her smile is real and all Natasha, wide and bright. ] Thank you, teacher.

[ And his smile gets wider and he leans in, unable to stop himself from kissing her. ] I'm glad it was you I first saw here.

[ She kisses back, but keeps it brief. They are, supposedly, on a mission after all. ] As am I.

[ He kisses the curve of her jaw softly before pulling away. ] Let's finish this mission as quickly as possible, hm?
