"That's not true. You have a lot of flotsam to deal with, since there are still plenty of rebels who don't care so much about being political. It's an obstacle, but you seem to be handling it well."

"You should be organizer. I just had a large group of rebels split off and move to Lapland. I have no idea what has happened to the rebel movement, but there is hardly anyone around any more. Perhaps they are all afraid of Red Infinity or are plainly tired of fighting them. It is frustrating, but I nearly have to start over from scratch building the movement. I guess this is fine since then I can focus my attention on building our party." They enter Mischa's apartment and Bassarov sits down in the living room.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Vossya, but I think you make a far better organizer than I do..." I say, scratching my head almost nervously.
"It's understandable... Since well, it's hard to find anything heartening when you're standing in a pile of rubble. You are a much stronger person than I am, and are much better suited to be a leader." I say, standing in the kitchen.
"Do you want anything, love?" I think of Zero and 'lubimi', and repress my snide remark I had planned.

"I will have some juice Mischa if you have any. Something red. I like red flavored things." Bassarov says, as if red actually is a flavor.

"I'm sure I have some red crayons lying around." I say, giggling to myself. I pour him some fruit punch, and me as well. I bring the glasses into the living room, and sit down beside him, handing him his juice.
"So what do we know thus far about Satsujin?"

"I heard that he is a powerful immortal who intends on destroying this world. He has the nihilists on his side as well. We could try reasoning with them." Bassarov says as he takes a sip of punch.
"This is great punch, did you make it yourself?"

"I see. Although I am weary about reasoning with nihilists, I don't really see much other alternative." I say, sipping my juice.
"And thank you, I did actually... From concentrate." I say in regards to the punch."

"I don't mind the nihilists. If I ever lost faith in socialism I would become a nihilist." Bassarov has some more punch, which seems to taste better with each sip.
"This really is good punch, maybe because you made it."

I smirk, running my finger along the rim of the glass. "Well don't tell anybody this, but the secret ingredient is love." I say, taking another sip.
"But I agree... I have nihilistic tendencies myself, but they are usually fleeting... And were I not a socialist, I might try anarchy for awhile. But after I grew out of that, I'd probably become a nihilist."

Bassarov laughs at Mischa, who seems to get goofier everyday. It is endearing and refreshing, since Bassarov tends to be more uptight.
"I wish I could be as laid back as you are, Mischa. It really is admirable."

I smile.
"Well that's interesting... Because I wish I could be as serious as you. That's why we're the perfect couple by the way." I say, kissing his hand.
"We compliment each other. You're too uptight, and I'm not uptight enough." I say, still smiling.

Bassarov smiles.
"I do feel good with where we are at right now. I hate to fall into the sexual moralities of capitalism and hope I don't send people the wrong message, but it is good that things are happier between us at the moment. It was a good move to break things off with Zero, even though I feel guilty for hurting her feelings."

I think about Julia, and immediately feel guilty, but still decide not to tell him about her.
"I agree... I think now we're in a much better position than we were for a long time. Maybe we can see other people... I don't know if I could handle that though, Vossya. Let's just cross that bridge when we get there, and hopefully talk it through more than we did last time."

"Sure, I am very content with how things are right now. I don't wish to hurt you like that again. It is so much nicer when there is less drama in our relationship. It also is politically a wise thing to do." Bassarov leans back and feels very much at peace with their situation. He is thankful that Mischa has been so tolerant of his disloyalty.
"Once we contact Toivo later, we should try to meet with Trotsky. I am very interested in meeting him, though I must admit, I am afraid that I am not good enough or that he will think I have made too many mistakes. Which..I admit, I have. But this is all a learning experience."
