If I may discuss yet another exchange with you, please, I would be grateful.

It is nice to have the City quiet again, but yesterday was too quiet. Why are people so reckless about what they lick?

[City: don't answer that question.]

The snow is good. It reminds me of home, but warmer, and with more sun. If we were in Petersburg, there would be less than eight hours of daylight today, and we would likely not see the sun for the clouds. The temperature would be maybe twenty below, Celsius, without wind--possibly colder. I think the Neva would be frozen by now.

This is March, April weather. Anyone who is cold now should be glad that the City is so mild.

[ She's maybe giggling at his first choice of question, don't mind her. ]

I don't think I could cope with so little sun.

[candothat]

[English isn't his first language; laughing at his word choice is completely understandable.]

And I thought that I would burn up when I went to California. Did you grow up someplace very sunny?

[steleheart]

New York. But as dismal as it can get, we still have light. [ She smiles down the camera at him. ] So you're from Russia originally?

[horseish]

Yes but you're used to it.

[candothat]

I have no arguments against the truth. Does that mean that you dislike it?

[horseish]

It's fun being outside and making snow forts, but it's lasting a long time.

You're right. At least it's better than Russia, although I'm not actually convinced that's high praise.

[candothat]

Better than Russia? Are you joking?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Well, the weather is, among other things.

Be grateful, then.

[candothat]

I am, sir, thank you.

If possible, I would like to have memories restored. I have forgotten events on three separate occasions for unknown reasons and am willing to trade for their return.

Cute. Undoing what's been done by undoing something else.

Well, I suppose there was even a solution to the Gordian Knot.

And what do you offer this time?

Less than eight hours? That's --

Wouldn't it feel a little gloomy?

You may stop acting. I made a trade; my memories are intact.

[ He notes, briefly, that Pavel takes the time to switch to a private line. This doesn't seem to be a prank. This is serious. ]

[ Very serious. ]

[ For a moment, his eyes widen. But it's conditioned reflex. He still in 'Li's frame of mind -- honest and helpful. The pleasant expression fades a beat later, replaced by permafrosted focus. ]

I see.

[ Perfect monotone. He's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Recriminations. Blackmail. Revenge. It's not often that he's been confronted by any of his own victims. Usually, he kills them. He should've taken greater precautions here. This is what he gets for being soft-hearted and careless. ]

[She hasn't practiced her bending forms in awhile. They still remind her too strongly of what she'd done. But Korra can't sit still, so she's taken to jogging. Gotta keep in shape somehow, right?

She jogs past the fountain, on her way home to get ready for work (ugh).]

[candothat]

[Incidentally, Chekov is also jogging. He, however, is going home from work and is jogging because he's incapable of moving at a slower speed. He would also like to speak to Korra before she leaves for work.

The return of his missing memories earlier in the day was almost overwhelming and Chekov needs time to integrate them with his existing memories. but talking to Korra can't wait. It's fortunate, then, that he jogs right past the Avatar.]

Korra! [He backtracks.] Korra, I need to speak with you.

[Lucy is home from the hospital and looking healthy. A giant ginger cat is setting next to her on the couch. It's far too cold to be anywhere but home with her fireplace in her opinion] Pavel, we have to talk about this love of snow. There are no bikinis when there is snow.

[candothat]

[It's good to see Lucy home and healthy. In spite of the newly-traded memories bothering him, Chekov has to give her a smile.]

But you look very cute in a heavy coat.

[defies_reason]

I found myself wondering the same thing.

[candothat]

About the licking?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Normally you don't get stuck to half the things you lick...

The weather is nice though.

[candothat]

You were a victim of the curse, correct?

[Don't tell him what you were licking.]

Yes, thank you! Someone agrees!

[princesstype]

You're from Petersburg? How is it, besides cold?

[candothat]

It is only very cold in the winter. We do have summers in Russia.

But Petersburg--it's a beautiful city! The River Neva runs through it, and the architecture is unlike anything else in the world. The Winter Palace, the palace square, the cathedrals, Trinity Bridge... all very beautiful, and in the summer, twilight lasts for hours.
