[The recording starts and Raikov is soaking wet and in his uniform. He looks a bit grumpy at first but upon seeing where he is, he seems to lighten up]

Back in the City... I'm certainly not going to complain about that. How long has it been though...? I was only home for a few days...

[He takes off his hat and tries shaking the water out of it]

Nathan? Are you still here?


[OOC: Back from hiatus! Mostly moved in. Now time to catch up. /sobs]

[Raikov. Have you ever been swept off your feet? Literally? Because that is happening right now. Nathan has magically appeared behind you, swept you into his arms, and is now kissing you mercilessly.

He is happy to have you back. Does it show?]

[majorcrotchgrab]

!!

[It surprises the hell out of Raikov and before he can even act, he finds himself swept up and smothered in kisses.

Once he realizes who it is, he happily returns the affections]

Hello, dear.

[manyadenouement]

Welcome back, Ivan. I've missed you.

[He nuzzles him then proceeds to keep carrying him as he goes to walk them home.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[That gets a soft blush out of him]

Mmm.. How long has it been? I'm sorry I left you.

[manyadenouement]

Long enough for my bed to be lonely without someone actually sleeping in it!

[Since he is not capable of sleeping anymore.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

That's quite romantic of you.

[He beeps Nathan's nose]

But in truth, how long was I gone for?

[manyadenouement]

Weeks. I was so lonely~

[Nuzzling his neck now.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

We have much catching up to do, don't we...?

[manyadenouement]

I want to see if I can make you cry out so loudly that you bother Solomon.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov laughs]

That doesn't take much, you know.

[manyadenouement]

Precisely.

[majorcrotchgrab]

You're terrible.

[manyadenouement]

You love it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

So do you.

[theonewhodied]

Alright, I cede.

You couldn't possibly be a Russian spy. You're too damn obvious. What's with that outfit?

[Hey, Naoi. Stop being presumptuous. It's not like your outdated uniform isn't based on Prussian military uniform. Quit jumping to conclusions.]

Really, wasn't Urajio enough... [Maybe Raikov's communicator will translate that last name to "Vladivostok," unless it chooses to let it slide as a proper name.]

[manyadenouement]

Every second of it. It's how I maintain my dominance.

"Back"? May I ask where you even went? Were you able to travel outside of the city?

[ She's curious about what's out there and why nobody has mentioned other cities outside of The City. ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[He's currently being carried in Nathan's arm as he answers this. Sadly, his device deosn't translate the name]

Perhaps it's a costume. Who knows.

And who's Uraijo?

[majorcrotchgrab]

I went back to my world - not by choice. It just happens sometimes.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov purrs and drapes an arm over Nathan's shoulder]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[manyadenouement]

Perfect. That is how it will be.

[manyadenouement]

[Don't mind him. He's just listening.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

You spoil me.

[Although visiting home and seeing Yevgeny was nice, he's... happy to be back here, especially with Nathan.]

Anything exciting happen while I was gone, darling?

[manyadenouement]

Oh just a revolt and people ending up in prison followed by a mass breakout.

[majorcrotchgrab]

So the usual. I knew those rebels were going to fail.
