"Nothing..."
"Shura told me that you aren't very nice and that the IMF is not a good thing like you said."

"And who is this Shura? Probably some radical who has no sense of the real world." He replies with a scoff. He folds his arms and stands back up, standing in a very stiff posture. "You can tell this friend of yours that I would gladly sit down with him and have a little chat about all the good we do for developing countries. The technical assistance we give them and our successes rebuilding the economies of such countries as...as Argentina for instance. Don't let him confuse you."

I follow after Lilia and come across her talking to a man. He looks familiar to me, but I can't quite place it. He isn't entirely unattractive, but looks..self important and too well dressed.
Perhaps he is from the IMF and her story was not invented.
I watch them from some distance, although I can not understand what they are saying.

"Shura is my hus...my friend. He and I have a son together. He is from Russia too. I came to visit him since I want him to come back to Russia, but he doesn't remember all the things that I remember. He has some memory problems or maybe he doesn't want to remember me. I don't know. So now I am here, and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do." Lilia repeats and becomes frustrated. The whole situation is confusing to her. She looks down at the pavement at the flower she drew with a white rock. It makes her smile for just a moment. "Do you like me?"

"Your story doesn't make sense. You do realize this, don't you? You really are a pathetic little thing." He says with little sympathy for her. He looks down at her flower drawing as well. "And what do you mean, do I like you? What kind of question is that? I don't even know you. I don't even know why I am bothering to talk to you. It must because I am bored." He says. There is something familiar about Lilia. She reminds him of a student he once had. She was simple like she is, but was compassionate and meant well. "You remind me of someone I once knew." He states to her. "I suppose that is why I am talking to you."

"You remind me of someone too." She replies.
"You remind me of my friend Shura."

I can hear them mention Shura, which I find peculiar and wish I knew what they were talking about. Maybe I am being a little snoopy, but that girl needs someone to look after her.
I walk a little closer so I can better hear them, and perhaps at least understand a few words.

Aili finishes her drawing for her new line of tattoos. "Alright they look awsome." She smiled and set them up on the wall outside the back room. She grabbed the phone and decided to call her brother.

"Would you like to come inside with me? Maybe you can tell me more about yourself." He says to her and feels that he really must have sunken quite low to be this lonely or to want anything to do with her. But, he does feel sorry for her. She seems very confused and needs a little direction.

Antero hears the phone ring and rushes down to get it. This is the first time he has heard the phone ring since he arrived at the Paris House and he has some trouble finding the phone.
"Ah...hello?"

"Ok.." Lilia replies shyly, then holds her hand out, reaching towards him cautiously. She grabs hold of his hand.

Adrik looks at her hand and isn't sure what to make of all of this. He stands there second guessing himself but doesn't pull his hand away from her for some reason or another. "Very well, let's go then." He says in a rushed voice and starts leading her back to his hotel room.

"No, I don't think so. Lilia, you are not going with that man." I say sternly in english as I step out from between two nearby shops.
"I don't know who you are, but I really don't think you ought to be taking that girl with you."

Lilia is a little frightened to see Salome appear from nowhere and also a little angry. She is tired of Salome and how she always ruins things. She gets behind Adrik and stares defiantly at Salome.

Adrik lets go of Lilia's hand and steps towards Salome. He is a bit caught off gaurd and isn't sure how to respond to this. He feels both ashamed and angry. "I am not some villian. Are you her caretaker? If so you aren't doing a very good job at it." He responds. "And she doesn't seem to like you very much."
"She seemed to be in need and I thought maybe I could assist her."
"I am Adrik Kudrin...you are?"
