"Great." I say, walking towards the teapot as if by instinct. I begin to boil some water. "Sorry I haven't been able to spend any time with Erika... I hope you two are getting along okay." But not too well of course. "How has she been? And what about Despair?"

"She has been a little upset. It turns out that Red Infinity doesn't want her for that project. It looks like she will be staying here for a while. But don't worry, I have been doing my best to make her comfortable. As for the android, the two of them left together earlier today. She left a note saying she was going to try to see Mitya."

When Mitya is mentioned, my heart skips a beat. I swallow hard.
"Ahh that's goOD" I say, my voice cracking. "Ahem... That's good... So Despair is gone then, right?"

"They are both gone for the time being." Bassarov replies.

"Alright. Are you still jealous by the way?" I ask, point blank.

"Maybe." Bassarov says as he swipes some hair out of his face. "Yes." He corrects himself.
"She told me yesterday that she loves you."

I smirk.
"It's cute how you don't see the irony in this." I say, wrapping my arms around his waist. "And don't worry about it, because I love you."
I kiss his cheek.

"I don't like any of this. It really bothers me. It really really bothers me. I don't know if I can stand having her around much longer." Bassarov replies. He stands there and allows Mischa to kiss him, but isn't inclined to return the affection. "Those d**n feminists were talking about me. I caught the tail end of it. I am having a bad day."

I tug on his arm.
"Oh whatever... Let them say what they want. You're my hero." I say, kissing him again.

"Your hero?" Bassarov asks. "You are only saying that because you know I am in a bad mood about Erika who "loves" you. And who the hell was that other woman who was here the other day? The one that showed up and left with the hacker?"

"Oh her... Well I don't know... She's just someone I kinda got to know when I was inside the Ministry of Terror." I say, scratching my head.
"But you are my hero!" I say, partially trying to change the subject. "You're charismatic, you can talk to people, you're sexy... And you could probably have Erika if you wanted to. Although I would never forgive you if you went after her."

"Oh Mischa. I wouldn't do that. I...I don't know. This bothers me more than it should. I am glad that you think so highly of me. But really, you are a far greater human being than I will ever be. My behaviors really don't make a good argument for the goodness of human nature. But yours...yours do. If more people were like you the world would not have the problems it does...."

"Aw, you're too sweet. Thanks, but without people like you around, this world would be really boring." I say, indirectly insulting myself.
"Well, maybe not boring... But you know... There would just be nothing to talk about..." I say, trying to cover my tracks. "And you're too hard on yourself, you are my hero. I wouldn't be who I am today without you."

"I guess you're right. Humanity would be reduced to sitting around talking about how nice everyone is. The only competition would be be to decide who is the humblest, and the winner would be too humble to accept the prize anyway. Wait a moment.....isn't that...oh never mind..." Bassarov shrugs and sticks his hands behind his back.
"I have had a bad week. I want you to indulge me. No one is here at the moment."

"I don't know how well I can indulge you, but I have some chocolate ice cream." I say, pouring myself some hot water for tea.
"Mmm, chocolate..."
