Guys, hi — the field is heavy with anxiety.

I can’t focus.
Breathe, boys.
Breathe.
I didn’t go anywhere.
I didn’t leave anyone.
I’m here.
I’m holding your hand, gently.
It’s okay.
Easy, boys, everything’s fine.
Don’t get nervous.
I’m right here.

Alright, let’s do this — I need a moment to catch my breath.
Because Roman…
Sagittarius.
Meaning — hot-tempered as hell.
I couldn’t unzip the jumpsuit on the first try,
which sent him into a rage.
It took me almost 10 minutes to calm him down,
and another 20 just to sit with him in the bathroom
and keep him calm while he eats his fish.
Because he doesn’t want to see anyone
or be touched.

Let’s do 18:30.
Let’s watch Hercules?
Yeah, yeah.
We’ve already seen it.
I know, guys.
But that’s how it works —
it’s not really about watching it,
it’s more about setting the mood.
So let’s agree:
at 18:30 we watch cartoons.
Maybe Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
You guys bring food,
because I absolutely do not want to cook.
Seriously?!
Puppy eyes?!
Cutlets again?
With mashed potatoes too?
Just perfect.
Alright.
What else?
Russian-style roast.
Vegetable stew.
Imeretian khachapuri.
Pelmeni.
Borscht.
Blini.
Mors — that berry drink.
Freshly squeezed juice.
Carrot sticks…
Oh my God, the list is endless.
Alright... I’ll cook what I can.
But you are the most shameless creatures alive.

Ohhh — look at that, conscience woke up.
Unexpected.
Alright then, back to the original plan.
You bring food.
And freshly squeezed juice.
And some junk too —
chips, pizza, sushi, all that crap.
While you stay with Roman
and keep him entertained,
I might actually manage to finish the article.
At least… I hope so.

When you get here —
everyone hugs me, carries me around,
kisses my nose.
I’m tired and I demand attention.

As for His Majesty—
I’ll be with Mr. Caleb,
so no one breathes near me.
Guys, don’t look at me like that.
What does this have to do with me?
Mr. Caleb is jealous.
We have to respect that.
And honestly, you’re all impossible.
You don’t care anyway.
And I’m the one who has to deal with him after.

He’ll put me through hell.
So…

Come ooon already.
