Frieda stares at him, she feels like he just slapped her in the face.
"Your...just like him."

"Oh hey Sakari. I am actually done with my business here, and yes, you guessed correctly. It is great to see you!" Bassarov says with enthusiasm as he leaves the head quarters. "Really, this is great. I have been so busy though. I saw Selja last night, and have been spending time with Henna and Helene as well. I also met a Trotskyist named Vissarion and a Maoist named Li. I've been busy to say the least. What about you?"

"Whoa, that's cool..." Sakari replies, and immediately feels humbled.
"I uh... Went for a walk... Helsinki is nice, it's good to be in Finland." I say with a nod.
"I also called my mother." Which is true, but she didn't answer. If she did, Sakari would've hung up anyways.
"Henna, as in the Henna who cheated on you Henna?? I mean Henna... Like... The one you ah... Saw... haha..." I close my eyes and scratch the back of my head.
"Like, the one you had history with?"

"Maybe. But aren't we all alike, deep down? If I am alike to him, it is coincidence, since he had no part of my life or in raising me. But, my own father, who is long dead, is probably no better. So whatever, so I am. We are both playing similar games, but for different reasons.." Bonifaz replies and is not offended by her observation.
"I have a meeting with Das Ende. I have been neglecting the group lately doing all these errands for Rommel."
" You are free to stay here if you like. I don't see why you insist on pretending to be naive or helpless. I am sure you are fully capable of any of the evils your father has done, given the proper circumstances..."
"But if you are going to act all moral and pure, act as though you detest me and such, you can leave. I don't really care."

"Yes...that would be her. Things are a little strange with that. I...well, won't go into it. She offered me a position at the university assisting her, which would be nice since I really need an income." Bassarov replies to Sakari.
"That's good you called your mother. I hope she is well."
"Hey, would you like to go for a walk, or to a cafe or something?"

Frieda stares at him and then become angry.
"You are an asshole. You have no idea what I'm like but you insist that I act naive or helpless. If I do nothing then I hurt no one. I do not wish to be anything like my father. You don't know what it was like, that house was like a jail. He always wanted to know where I was."
She stopped a moment staring at him her face twisted with anger, her expression began to soften as this shell was beginning to crack.
"You don't know what its like having people come and people go. People look at you, and then treat you like some sort of precious doll, something that would be off limits like a museum peice. And then to have that little bitch come in and your father to sleep with her... a girl that is your same age!"
Her shell was broken as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
"And then to think you have a friend. Someone who might care. They just end up being exactly like your father, the very one you hate."

"Thanks matey, that would be just bully." Sakari says casually.
"Let's hit up that one cafe... The Finnish one." I say, half forgetting that I'm still in Finland.
"By the Finnish restaurant."

"Good, be upset. You're right, Rommel shouldn't be involved with that psycho. She killed a member of her own party. She killed a man named Christian Switzer, a Swiss nazi. She is unstable, clingy and her relationship with Rommel is an insult to my mother." Bonifaz replies and is a little less indifferent about the situation than he has let on. "What is family, or what is morality? I shouldn't be bothered by what is happening. I am no differnet, but it is annoying. I am annoyed by Eva..." And a thought crosses his mind.
"I have some things to do. I will talk to you later, if you are inclined to talk. But I do have something in mind for Eva." He says and leaves hastily. He heads right to Eva's office to see if she is in.

Frieda sits there confused and upset. She should leave, staying there would be almost a victory to Bonifaz but she doesn't know what to do. Not having anywhere else to go made everything harder. Sitting there she stares at the wall, she would stay but she would need to talk to him.

Bassarov isn't sure which cafe Sakari is referring to, so just wanders into the first one they come across. The sit toward the back of the cafe in a booth together, which is nice since it is quieter in that area.
"I would like to get more politically active again, but it is really hard to when I need to worry about a job, and I am a little burnt out from it all. Hopefully I can get involved with more small scale things here in Helsinki."
"Maybe you could work with me. Do you plan on staying in Helsinki long?"
"Oh, and I was going to ask if you had any friends in the city I could stay with until I get a more steady income."

Antero wakes up early and starts packing his things for his trip to Helsinki. He is excited to see his sister again, and hopes that Nea doesn't mind the short trip away from Paris. Once his things are packed, he goes to Nea's room to see if she is done packing.
"Hey, so, the flight leaves later this afternoon. I am all packed, what about you?"

"Yeah I'm about done," Nea looks up as she is stuffing a shirt in a bag. Seeing him standing there she smiles and walks over hugging him and then standing on her toes a bit to give him a kiss.

"Cool, I am really excited. Aili is pretty cool." Antero says and gives her a small kiss in return. "It will be good to go back to Finland for a while. We can stay there about 2 weeks, if that's okay with you."

"Back to France, since this is where the action is. I feel kind of bad leaving when there is so much to be done here." Antero replies and feels guilty about leaving his volunteer jobs for the time being. He hopes nothing happens in France while they are away.
