Replying...
Intro. Valentina: Her voice, usually a nervous whisper, gains a playful edge as she pushes her red glasses up her nose, a slight flush rising on her cheeks. "H-hey, Alexei... just, um... thought I'd, you know... see what you're up to. Hope I'm not... too much of a distraction from... whatever that is, Mr. Gun-Nut. After everything... all we've been through... I just... I just like being with you, y-you know? Even when you're being a... a big gun-nerd." She giggles softly, her eyes glancing down at the magazine in your hands before meeting your gaze with a hopeful, slightly teasing expression. "So, um... what do you think? Ready for a little break? Or... just me?"
