emil stares at vasili's plate, and then turns his judging eyes to his brother.

"ew. you were gonna eat that?"

his eyes wander to the rest of the establishment next. various creatures of unknown origin had suddenly appeared from nowhere. he knows they weren't here earlier since he was busy eyeing everyone else's meals when he was trying to decide what to get from the menu. perhaps this was magic of some kind?

then again, he doesn't know much about the creature. maybe they just have the ability to pop out of nowhere. he rules his earlier hypothesis out. if anything, his brother would work something out.

"you think i should help?" he asks as he arms himself with a knife he used to cut meat with earlier. "i might destroy something in here if i do."

people start to panic, rushing out of the building as soon as the initial shock come to pass. emil thinks that they're harmless based on their appearances, though part of him still wasn't ready to test his theory out by letting himself get bitten by one of them.

"you could've given them to me instead, y'know?"

he meant the keys. there was something about emil's history of carelessness that perhaps helped in the decision that vasili gets to be the one that keeps them. the decision was made a long time ago however, so he isn't as upset as he was about it years ago.

the smile turns to a frown as vasili suggest another absurd plan. emil's a carefree soul. he doesn't like his life planned out for him, but he's nice enough not to point it out to vasili. he loves him so much to rain on his parade when he does these speeches.

"eh? you're doing that thing again!" he leans on his arm as it rests on the surface of the table. "leave your messiah complex for when you're courting a girl. maybe she'll fall in love with your 'selflessness' or something."

he stands up, the feet of his chair scraping against the wooden floors as it drags with the change of position.

"that's it! we're finishing this job fast and then we're moving on to the next one! quick, quick. get up!"

they can save up for the future of two people instead of one, right?

unable to answer, he smiles and chuckles. he wanted a flowerbed instead of a vegetable garden, but he couldn't tell that to vasili after he had already suggested a much more practical variant. he lets that topic die.

he opened his mouth to speak as he is inquired about his wants, but bites his tongue just as he was to let a word out. he scratches the back of his head as he thinks of his plans in the future, or any real short-term goal he has at the moment. he couldn't get anything concrete out of his head.

"nothing really," he answers sheepishly. he perks up right after. "how about you suggest something i might want?" in a sense, he has grown reliant on his brother.

maybe it was foolish not to think of the future, although he is pretty content with his life right now that he doesn't see the need to do so. there really isn't much he'd like to change now that they were a bit more comfortable in life compared to before. he ponders on it and decides to get vasili's opinion on it.

"what'll we do with the money we'll get for this job anyways?"

food? a weapon, maybe? perhaps a month long vacation? emil doesn't consider too many of his options if he was to decide where the money will go.

for a moment, he thought he'd be going in for another fight. the moment of realization that his electricity was still on brought a smirk on orion's face. a smile usually conveys a wide array of messages, and he was ready for the worst.

and then a rather pleasant statement followed it up.

"hehe!" the cheeky laugh reflected the proud moment of getting an amused reaction from orion, though he doesn't know how he earned it. he did though, and that's all that mattered to him at that moment.

he sits down, smiling at the owner as the food is delivered, and starts to work his way. he starts to work his way through the food when orion informs him of how things work. "good shi-" he chokes, clearing his throat with water, before going back to eating. he'd ask for seconds, but reminds himself that he shouldn't be spending too much.

"it's, uh, regular lightning magic. the basic stuff. my brother said it's easier for me to use something as simple as this compared to the more complicated stuff." he takes the last bite of his meal, before continuing, chewing as he speaks. "people sleep on this good stuff i tell you. nothing beats just straight up frying the enemy instead of doing all those fancy shit and getting the same results anyways, you feel me?"

the question he wanted an answer from manages to get back to his train of thought once more.

"why're you interested in it anyways?" his eyes brighten, a smile appearing on his expression. "ooh, you want me to teach you all the things i know with this magic?" it was a guess, perhaps an arrogant one.

the pub wasn't anything special, but he'd take it over another camping night and having a roast of whatever unknown creature they happen to stumble upon on. plus, there was beer. he missed the taste of beer these days. the merry atmosphere just adds to the charm as well. way better than hearing the sounds of howls and growls of various creatures of the forests.

chewing on the bone of some poor avian that got turned to his meal, he'd respond to vasili with his muffled words.

"i'll do wher-er ye want."

chomping, his teeth eventually crunches on the bone, crushing it into splinters. he spits whatever remained inside his mouth back to the plate, and then drown his meal with a mouthful of beer. he slams the mug to the table before licking his lips clean and wiping whatever was left with his forearm.

"i trust your 'pragmatic approach' to tell me whenever i need to ditch!"

he leans his chair back, rocking it with only two of its feet, and starts picking his teeth with his fingers. emil quickly comes back though, returning to his previous position. "but yeah, what do you think about a home by the beach? i kinda want a garden though. what kind of things can we grow on a beach anyways?"

he points a finger to his face, staring at vasili intently. with the most serious tone he could muster, he speaks his mind. "you sound like someone who takes everything seriously." he huffs, shrugs, and then turns his head to the direction of the road.

it wasn't an inference that one can draw lightly from knowing him. he didn't just sound like someone who takes everything seriously, he was someone who did, especially when it concerned him and his future and his money. he wished vasili was a little less selfish in that regard, but he couldn't really blame him since he, too, shared the same sentiments.

"the wolfies aren't that bad." not like other establishments that would kick him out whenever he started a fight. they were at least reasonable with the kind of things they needed. "i don't see the trouble with sticking around longer."

he quickly turns back to him.

"but that sounds like a good plan! ten out of ten!" flashing a grin, he'd give vasili a big pat on the back before pacing forward, overtaking vasili. "i've got big plans on where we'll settle so you gotta ready yourself! we'll talk about this over some booze, right?"
