[It's the day after Yuri's left and both Yuuri and Viktor have returned to NPC status... and Anya is just humming a little thoughtfully to herself. She lets her hands fall behind her back as she finishes packing up for the day - and that's when Li-na crosses her eye. The girl that Noah mentioned - right?
And yet Anya hasn't gotten a chance to speak with her yet but... well, in the face of losing a partial connection with the people she knows and treasures, what better time than now to make new friends?
She approaches the girl with a little wave and a smile.]
[Li-Na tosses her shoes in her bag, body still buzzing from the lesson. She rolls her neck and zips up her dance bag, contemplating a milk tea on the way home.
A word in Russian distracts her from her musings of whether to get a winter melon milk green tea or a classic coffee milk tea. She actually understood the word as one if her teachers in Hong Kong had been Russian.]
[There's a moment where the recognition surprises her - even though it probably shouldn't? If she knows who Li-na who is then what stops the other way around - and she brightens up immediately.]
Да! You know Anya too? Ah, that makes it easier to say nice to meet you...
[Li-Na's only been on the app for a few months, but even though
she's just recently realized Anya is on it too, she's spotted Anya at the
dance studio more often. And she's always seemed like a sweet, bubbly
person.]
[Though Li-Na would like to think of herself as cosmopolitan, she
knows she is basically just a regular city girl Still, two countries is a
start. Some people never leave their hometown at all.]
I do like it here. People are very nice here, very helpful.
[She glances over at Anya and smiles]
If you ever come to Hong Kong, I will show you my favorite places.

Nice to meet you, too!
[then Li-Na smiles brightly]
I want milk tea. Do you want to come with me?
no subject
Really? You would go with Anya?
Да! I would love to. That sounds very good after practice.... I think Davenka already left, or I would ask him to come too....
no subject
Davenka? That is Dave, correct? We can invite him next time.
[Li-Na hefts her dance back onto her shoulder]
It is not very far away. We can walk there.
no subject
Okay!
Li-na has gotten used to the city already?
[ . . . or as used to it as someone can get.]
no subject
[Li-Na leads the way out of the dance studio]
A little! Recolle is very different from Hong Kong, but that is not a bad thing.
[aside from the whole retrospec nonsense]
It is not as busy and I miss the subway, but there is lots of good food here!
[just not as much as Hong Kong, but Li-Na knows she cannot expect Recolle to have the same food as Hong Kong]
no subject
Путешествовал...! Anya has always lived in Recolle, so hearing about a different place from Li-na.... it is interesting. You are very....
[How does she say it - the word she's used was "well-traveled" in a sense, but.]
Your world is bigger than mine. I hope you like it here too, even if it is different.
