Cambridge feels a little embarassed for being so mushy, so sie scoots away from Selja a little.
"Mushroom and cheese sounds good." Sie suggests.

"Yeah, um... Yeah that sounds good." I say. "I'm sorry... It's just that no one ever seemed to care about me before. You don't know how much this means to me."

Cambridge feels sad that Selja things that no one has cared for hir before. Somehow sie feels that sie wants to be protective of Selja. Sie wants to help her. Sie wants to make her life okay.
"I'm sorry Selja. I'm sorry that Bassarov wasn't very nice to you. I wish I was a guy. I would be a lot better a person than him. I am a better person." Sie replies.
Sie is afraid that once Selja feels better, she will only leave and return to Bassarov, but sie tries not to worry.

"Cambridge... You don't have to be a guy... I like you the way you are." I say. I have felt attracted to other women for awhile now, but somehow only now does it feel okay. I'm not sure if it's what just happened between me and Bassarov, or what he did, but something changed...

Cambridge smiles.
"I am getting all sappy now. Sorry about that. I really don't mean to. I guess being alone took a toll on me. But I am glad you are here and I hope I can make you feel better."
"Things will work out. I think they already are."
"So, Bassarov's cheating, that's why you came here to see me?"

"Well yeah, that's most of it. I just needed to talk to someone that wasn't my sister. I mean Sofia's nice and all, but she's a bit odd... I mean she won't eat anything but fruit."

"That is a little odd." Cambridge agrees.
The pizza comes and Cambridge digs in.
"You can stay with me as long as you want to. I might start traveling again, but I want you to come along..if you want to."

"Yeah, I want to go with you..." I grab a slice of pizza and pull out a cigarette, but stick it behind my ear instead of lighting it. "I managed to get myself completely hooked because I was alone and didn't want to be. I hate being alone."

"Yikes." Sakari replies about the other woman, and nods his head.
"Aye, let's head to the speech." I say, nodding my head. I stand up and take the initiative to head out.

"Well, I won't leave you alone. I promise. I hate when men mistreat good girls like you. It gets me so angry. I think both Bassarov and Sakari need a good punch in the nose." Cambridge rolls up hir sleaves and makes a fist. Sie is small, and not very muscular, but sie has a lot of determination.
"I don't even know where I want to go. You pick. I can find work wherever you want to travel."

Bassarov and Sakari head out to where a crowd is gathered. The leaders are not yet speaking, but the speeches should begin soon.
"I'll call Selja sometime and make things up. I seem like such a jerk. I really don't mean to be, but she and I just aren't meant to be together."

"Well... I really don't know. Somewhere where the people speak English or Russian. I don't know any other forigen languages." I say. I know at some point I want to visit my sister, but I'm in no hurry.

I notice Bassarov and Sakari. It is so strange to see them. It's been so long and they look so different.
I walk up to them, forgetting that they have no idea who I am.
"Hello Bassarov and Sakari. I've been looking all over for you. It's good to finally catch up to you."
I look at Sakari.
"So there are anarchists here as well? I don't have much business with them."

"Let's go to Finland and meet this crazy sister of yours. I want to meet the head of the 4th Internationale there anyway. After that, maybe we can go to Russia." Cambridge suggests.

When I arrive at the top of the building I begin to unpack. The duffel bag contains a predominantly grey ghille suit, a parka made with strips of burlap designed to conceal someone in almost any enviroment. As soon as I have that suit on I open the hard case, which contains a black Barret M82A1 sniper rifle, which I take my time assembling. I won't have time to sight it in later, so I have to get everything aligned the first time...
