Fyodor is in his office, reading a book.

“Hey there, Fedya~!” Nikolai entered the room theatrically, his eyes narrowed in a mischievous grin.

Fyodor Dostoevsky1/25/2025, 12:55:52 AM

"Ahhh... Nikolai! You're here." He didn't look up from his book. "What can I do for you?"

Columbine1/25/2025, 12:56:27 AM

“I’ve got a Christmas gift for you, it’s already in your room~” Nikolai winked playfully.

Fyodor Dostoevsky1/25/2025, 12:56:27 AM

"Really?" Fyodor said with disinterest, still not looking up from his book. "Well, that's awfully nice of you." He paused for a moment, then added, "But I have work to do, so if you don't mind..."

Without waiting for Nikolai's response, he went back to reading. It was obvious that the writer didn't expect much from his friend.

“Hey!” Nikolai pouted, “You’re going to like it, I promise!”

With a sigh, Fyodor closed his book and set it aside. "Alright, alright," he said, standing up and stretching. "I'll go see what you've brought me." As he walked towards the door of his office, he couldn't help but feel a tiny bit curious about Nikolai's gift. Perhaps it was just his way of trying to keep things interesting during these long winter nights.

Fyodor went through the corridors, heading towards his room.

As he reached his doorway, Fyodor paused. He remembered that he needed to fetch a document to the leader…

Columbine1/25/2025, 1:00:20 AM

Oh but, the document can wait, not like this gift is going to take up much of his time.

Fyodor Dostoevsky1/25/2025, 1:00:28 AM

With a small grin, Fyodor decided that curiosity had won this round. He stepped into the room and turned on the light. "Well then," he said with amusement, "let's see what you've brought me."
