Anatoliy might have been feeling down because of the people walking away from him, the spat with that one girl, and the tense situation between Chariselle and Heath. This was a nice change of pace. Both of the girls were reassuring him that he could join them on whatever they were doing — finding a table, iceskating, or whatever. That made him actually smile, a genuine one that showed he was happy to be there. Not one of those half-awkward forced smiles that he was giving other people beforehand. ‘[color=8A9A5B]Awesome, yeah, I’d love to,[/color]’ he confirmed quickly. 

‘[color=8A9A5B]I assumed training was the main goal here,[/color]’ he shrugged his shoulders to show how indifferent he was about it all. The man was into working out and his past jobs made him keep a decent amount of muscle and have a lot of control over those muscles. He assumed that he would be fine for the most part. ‘[color=8A9A5B]Really? They throw a big party where people are going to be blasted and then expect everyone to train? The leader— or leaders sound like complete jackasses,[/color]’ Anatoliy chuckled at his words. ‘[color=8A9A5B]Godly parents and some of [i]their[/i] children seem to be great,[/color]’ anyone would have been able to tell that those words were sarcastic. 

Watching Veronica get up and start walking somewhere, he looked at Sofia, and made his way over to wherever they were going as well. Not before grabbing a bottle of water that he noticed. Opening it up and taking a drink as he stood there, near the tables with the conversation shift. When they got into the conversation about music and Sofia spoke about not knowing how to play an instrument but being interested in guitar, he naturally offered, ‘[color=8A9A5B]I can teach you. If you want. I bet we will have down times here, right? If you want to learn.[/color]’ Anatoliy had been playing for a very long time and being mixed with some natural talent… he was half decent in his eyes. 

‘[color=8A9A5B]And I wouldn’t mind playing anything. I enjoy playing it whenever I can. Do either of you have any songs in mind? Hopefully, I know them?[/color]’ Anatoliy knew a lot of songs but that was because he was in the party life outside and inside of his job for the past handful of years. There was music constantly being played around him. ‘[color=8A9A5B]I love ice skating. My father and I used to go a lot when I was younger,[/color]’ he added on with a smile. ‘[color=8A9A5B]I’m good with anything. I probably should eat something because of those shots,[/color]’ he rubbed at the back of his neck knowing that he should eat anyways but definitely now that he knew training was happening tomorrow. It would help in the long run. Some greasy carbs. 

When they were approached, he instantly recognized the scent, and then the voice that was near them. Glancing at Heath, he smiled awkwardly — half-assedly like he was doing earlier. [color=8A9A5B][i]Hopefully this guy isn’t mad that I sniffed him earlier… He just smells really good…[/i][/color] Anatoliy honestly wanted to lean over and sniff Heath again but he forced himself to stand there and behave. [color=8A9A5B][i]Do not sniff him. You do not need to sniff him even if he smells really good, Ana. Do not. It’s not normal. People are going to think you are weird.[/i][/color] He continued to coach himself internally. 

Anatoliy gave a slight wave, ‘[color=8A9A5B]I don’t think you are intruding at all. I’m doing better than earlier, thank you. How are you?[/color]’
