You know, unfortunately, it wouldn't exactly work for Aleks to flirt with one of his own. Would be hella funny, but it wouldn't really work out, I agree with that. But! I really like the idea presented in the second paragraph. Since you mentioned that the next set of targets could involve a few females, that's definitely an excellent setup for Lilith opening a bit, and Aleks learning that only male hearts count could very well lead to "the target is homosexual" arc. Also, I was thinking, since we'll be posting more slowly, would it be good if we made time-skips present every now and then? I mean, that would at times make a lot of sense for us to get involved in different acts without having an enormous amount of buildup for them. What do you think about that? Also2, something just clicked in my head. What if Aleks was invited to a banquet of a sort? Or a dinner or something. With a few Bratva members and their wives/girlfriends/friendswithbenefits. That way, he could pull Lilith along with him or they could be seen together, something that could trigger another set of victims right there and then. I'm talking out of the top of my head right now, sorry, I have a nasty headache >.> I have to mention, that pun was super appropriate - I love it!
