He had been here for abou two weeks now, and it still was scary and strange. Not that different from home, at least structurally, but the people were different, and almost nobody spoke Russian and while he learned more English every day, it was still a daunting task to speak to people. Since he couldn't cling to his father's coat-tails all day (and wouldn't have expected to be allowed that, anyway), he had taken to sneaking around the house and try to see as much of it and it's occupants as possible. He had been watching the cook for almost two houres, just peering around a table and observing what he did, and now he was looking for someone else to watch. Watching people was nice. It made him feel connected, and if he didn't try to approach them they couldn't turn him down, so it was a win-win situation.

Walking around a corner, he came to a stop as he saw someone work on a task. He stayed where he was and just observed the person for a bit.

i hope this is good enough ;; haven't done much with my vash in awhile

Thankfully enough, he wasn't doing something too important, just calculating some of the expenses and whatnot that his father left him to do. He knew what he had to do, and by now it was something he did almost automatically. It took him a moment to realize the much smaller boy watching him, since he was almost too into the calming process of calculating.

He looked up from his desk, and took a quick glance behind him before standing up with a hand on his gun that he strapped on to his leg. He knew that there were people out to get him and his father, so he doesn't panic much anymore.

"Who's there?"

Let's say that it is at some point of Ivan's travelling so you can make up Switz's situation

[muscovy]

Oh. This wasn't good. Ivan stayed where he was, fixing his usual smile on his face, and hoped that this would end well. Why does he have a gun with him. Usually, running only made things worse, so he had long before decided to always take the smile-and-converse path if possible. It gave you time to end the encounter on a neutral note and leave.

"Privyet." That language had not been Russian and didn't quite sound like English, though he couldn't be sure yet - so trying out Russian sounded like a good idea. "We are staying here for a few days, I'm travelling with Mr. Kostochev."

alright~!

[omnesprouno]

He knew enough of most of the European languages to understand the important things from what most people had to say to him, he nodded. He was a visitor, in that case he had no reason to see him as a threat. He took a moment to try and piece together a sentence and hopefully it didn't sound too terrible to the Russian, a deep breath, "Do you need anything?" it was worth a shot to try and talk to him in his own language.

He hesitantly took his hand off his gun, trying his best to give the other boy a feeling of peace.

The boy shook his head. Good. It seemed like this was going over well. "I'm just looking around, yes?" Maybe he could even turn this into a positive encounter if he said the right things; he didn't want to be punished by his momentary guardian for sneaking around and getting on people's nerves, or being in places that he wasn't supposed to be in. Sure, punishments just happened, they were a part of life, but that didn't make them something that he wanted for himself. "I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to come here."

[omnesprouno]

He knew that he was a visitor, thus he must be feeling lonely and terrible being so far away from home. Since he was a child he let it slide, taking a few steps closer to him, politely reaching out a hand to shake. "Next time pay closer attention," he cleared his throat, "if you need anything you can ask me".

Ivan continues watching Vash just a moment too long for it to not seem odd, but then takes the hand with a never-wavering smile and shakes it. His grip is as firm as a child of six can do it, but doesn't last long.

Then he remembers what he has been taught to say in such situations. "Thank you. It is aprica-aprecca" He frowns, fumbling for the word. "appreciated." He's been taught what to say, yes, but hasn't had much chance to use it yet, since nobody ever takes him along to social gatherings even of a smaller scale.

oh god this is late i'm sorry

[omnesprouno]

He nodded, he could tell it was something he rarely did so he accepted it with a small nod. "Have you heard how long you'll be staying here?" He let go after a small shake.

[muscovy]

The little boy shook his head and tried to cast his thoughts back to what exactly he had heard - not been told, because apparently it was nothing that he was supposed to be told about, but he had a habit of listening to conversations anyway. Otherwise, he would never learn anything.

"A few days."
