bucuresti: (Nu se putea spala ecourile afara.)

[Romania's elections have recently taken place, with some odd results. Two major parties tied and in an attempt to help political and economical situations, the country has declared a New Centralist government, definitely in contrast of their past communist government. However, this new turn has left the capital feeling rather off and somewhat ill. Mihail has taken to reclining on his couch, trying to settle his churning stomach and battling a very persistent headache. After all, there's obvious unrest at home and he can feel all of it.

As of now, he's curled up in a parka (real fur-lined, indeed) and in more nauseous moments, he seems to think a glass of absinthe can help, so he's been making return trips to the kitchen and thus, slowly draining an absinthe bottle. He's confused enough that he doesn't realize it's only making him feel worse. Hopefully, things will die down over Christmas enough for a reprieve, but there doesn't seem to be any signs of that.]

Mihail. You don't look so well... [ Pause. ] Is that absinthe?

I am, ah... not sure drinking is the best solution to that. [ She starts to fiddle with the ring on her finger. ] I could bring you something to eat. Or maybe medicine?

It...isn't? []

Anything you would like to do, Stasya, is fine with me.

I -- will be back in a few minutes, then.

[ And when she does return, she's brought a (reheated) bowl of varenyky in borscht (http://pics.livejournal.com/reabilituvaty/pic/00002ft2) and (not knowing what else to take) some ibuprofen. ]

Ah, not at all... I just hope you enjoy it. And that you feel better soon. [ Pause. ] Is, ah -- is something bothering you?

[ She empathizes. She's gotten to be familiar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_mayoral_election,_2008) with political (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Ukrainian_political_crisis) problems. Elections (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Ukrainian_political_crisis), especially. ]

... Everything happens for a reason. I believe that... so I am sure that eventually, things will work out. [ A tentative smile. ] But politics, they are always a little like that.

You're right. And you know as well as I do that it is not easy getting over being communist. My people still have a problem with it.

Yes... that's the burden that we all must carry, though. Things will change for the better. Even if slowly.

I do hope so, Stasya. I suppose what bothers me even more is the fact that I'm not home, so I can't help...

Yes, that is the... the vexing part, about being here. I feel very restless, sometimes... and a little helpless, as well.
