Yeah, you kinda have to be to survive Russian politics as you just saw.

I helped lead a revolution after I got assaulted by the former ruler of Russia.

Nah, I have this. I was a doctor for a long time actually. I sometimes miss doing medical work, but I am definitely saving more lives here by not letting someone lead who will start many unnecessary wars.

The guards seem a like they are about to try to apprehend Spider and get them away from Romanov, but after receiving a look from Romanov, they back away. Romanov is working on wrapping the injuries to help with the bleeding and prevent infection.

I don't think anyone is going to make that mistake anytime soon after how things ended with that guy. Though, you could make quite the bodyguard if you really wanted to. You clearly have the abilities for it.

The would be assassin is easily taken down by Spider. A group of guards come rushing over to assist Romanov who despite being shot seems to be doing alright.

Wow, this one didn’t even try to compensate for my higher constitution when trying to kill me or whatever. Thanks though for helping take that dude down. Even if I’ll be better in an hour, that fucking hurt.

Romanov has noticeably dropped their attempts to sound formal and sophisticated. It is much easier to see Romanovs background outside of royalty right now.

When Romanov finally manages to safely land on the ground, the figure goes to take another shot.

A shadowed figure is crouched in a corner, barely visible. They are holding a handgun with a silencer and appears to be aiming to take another shot at Romanov who is trying to keep themself from crashing while still in the air with a now injured wing.

Oh, so we're playing this game then.

Romanov quickly removes their overcoat, allowing a large pair of white feathered wings to open up. They take off after Spider. They might not be a fast runner but they can certainly fly quickly. However, before Romanov gets the chance to gain much ground, a shot fires at them from the shadows.

Romanov grabs the books from Spider's hand.

Not really, but I can run for a relatively long distance.

Spider,

I am happy to lend my collection to anyone. Plus if I weren’t to lend a book, you have made it clear that you would take it anyways. Now, I am indeed quite bored, feel free to let me in on this fun you speak of.

[A phoenix flies through the window of Romanov's bedroom, a letter attached to her leg. She lands on their bed.]

@prime-orpheus

[whom-is-who]

Romanov groans. They don't care much for the fancy trinkets, however, they really did enjoy those books.

They quickly write a response.

Spider,

You know you could have just borrowed the books. I would really appreciate if those could somehow make it back here. I was in the middle of one of them, and this ruling a kingdom stuff isn't exactly entertaining. Maybe you could drop by and chat a bit as well.

Romanov sighs before going over to fix up their desk. They keep the rest of their room pretty tidy so this is the most likely spot that something was taken from.

Romanov pats the bird on the head, grabbing some bird seed for her to eat. They aren’t completely sure what phoenixes eat, but bird seed is a good bet. They quickly write out a response and hand a letter to Eurydice to bring back to Spider.

Greetings Spider,

News still hasn’t reached me about who has died, so I am assuming it is not someone critical to my government. Also, what did you take? I am not very attached to a lot of the trinkets around the palace but some of the nobles are so I need to know what I have to explain the disappearance of.

Romanov takes the letter, opens it, and quickly reads through it.

We could go on a walk through the woods.

Ah…Romanov,, are you here?..

Indeed I am, are you in need of something?
