grunts and gets up to answer the phone. "Nnprivet~ Braginsky residence."

stares at the phone for a second but then chuckles lowly. "Alfred? It IS Zima. And da, it has been awhile~" *shifts and leans against-

-the wall, smiling a little and taking another swig of vodka*

fine with it and shrugs to himself. "Not much. I am a man again if that is any spectacular feat~" *laughs* "How are you, comrade?"

makes a perplexed look but laughs with him. "I would assume not...."

laughs louder. "He...she? Had not informed me." *shifts, taking another swig* "How strange..."

cocks his head, taking another swig in response. "Er da. Vodka. We had some lying around. Why?"

pouts, glaring a bit at the phone. "I am fine. It is not like I can die so easily from alcohol poisoning you know." *huffs, moving the-

-phone to his other ear* "Either way, you wanted to talk, da? What's up?"

frowns, standing up straight now. "...you do not have to do that, you know." *furrows his eyebrows, loving the idea of Alfred coming over-

-but definitely not for this reason.

huffs loudly and runs a hand through his hair. "Fine, fine..." *waves his hand* "I'll be here." *hangs up the phone and glares down at the-

-phone before sighing and going to get a shirt on.

finally pulls on a shirt with some hassle and goes downstairs to unlock the door and wait for Alfred.

can't help but chuckle a bit because he hears music coming from the driveway and knows that that could only mean one person...

appears in the doorway, crossing his arms and smirking. "Well you are not in Kansas anymore, my comrade~" *chuckles*

him an amused look, half-wondering what exactly that was supposed to mean, and then turning and motioning for him to come in.

(I'm sorry D: *clings*)

shrugs, holding up the bottle. "Just this."

sighs and shrugs, moving to go sit on the couch. "Its not like I can die from it, Alfred."

huffs. "I know that...I never drink THAT much to do so, and I haven't gotten sick in the long run, either way so..." *shakes his head-

-running a hand through his hair* "I just get bored and emotional alright? I like drinking." *turns and stares at him* "What do you suggest-

-I do to get rid of stress?" *frowns*
