It’s almost too loud when he says, sudden, “It’s a pity we didn’t see any bears on the way up here.” Valeriy stirs from where he is seated, stoic before the heat of the Kresnik. “You wanted to see a bear?” “I wanted to see how they look compared to you. You’re about the size of a bear.” He folds his arms, tilts his head in a curiosity that’s not quite academic. “Have you ever fought a bear, Sarge?” He blinks, just once. It does nothing to lighten the heaviness of that purple gaze. “Why would I fight a bear, Mr. Mitya?” “I don’t know. Practice?

Because I’m a scientist. Not a soldier.” Valeriy doesn’t have anything to say to that. He’s just staring at him again. Mitya is really beginning to wish he hadn’t even tried to start a conversation with the man. After the events of the Korolevskiy Theatre, Mitya decides to retreat to his dacha for some time off.
