Cringe-worthy though he may have been, the boy was at least consistent... so far. Then again, whether or not that would last was irrelevant and Pyotr was hardly the most consistent of people herself. Regardless, the boy's upbeat (if slightly manic) personality could be tolerated, if only for the next few hours. [b]'I-I'll pass on the hat, thank you very much. I have... hat... allergies....'[/b] [i]Fuck, that was some fail bullshitting...[/i] [b]'I mean I just don't like hats. A-at all. Like srsly. [i]Ty che blyad,[/i] why would you do that to yourself? Let the hair be free, man, free like hair was, uh born to... be.'[/b] Pyotr had known she was babbling since the word hat, but like in all awkward social situations, she just couldn't throw the breaks on in time. Presently, she cleared her throat. [b]'[i]Moving swiftly along,[/i] were shall we have our dinner? I see two options; we could go back into the city and find a place there...'[/b] [i]And spend the night listening to ten thousand people whining...[/i] [b]'... or we could leg it to the first town and stay there. I vote plan B, it isn't that far anyway.'[/b] Hell, maybe she'd be able to ditch him en-route... She considered trying to BS her way around the mysterious friend issue, but decided to play it off as if she was the type to run ahead of the main wave. Truth be told, Pyotr felt a hint of self-deprecating cynicism over not having any friends join her in SAO, selfish as that was. She skilfully ignored the boy's pinky swear by averting her eyes at just the last moment, seemingly distracted by a boar in the distance... She might have had a certain manipulative streak, but Akiko had always taken her word very seriously; she wasn't about to give it out on a whim. [b]'So...'[/b], she said brightly, drawing another pint of ale from her inventory and taking a step toward the next town. [b]'I'm Pyotr and I'm heading... that way. [i]Bylo priyatno s vami poznakomit’sya,[/i] Mr..?'[/b] [hider=Pyotr's Russian Translation Corner] [i]Ty che blyad[/i] = What the fuck? [i]Bylo priyatno s vami poznakomit’sya[/i] = Pleased to meet you. [/hider] [@Animal]
