Leo came back from his day with Dr. Levin, exhausted. He was a hard worker, but today they had five sick dogs and it was just chaos. He was excited to see Lana, and to take her out for a proper Mexican meal, but he had figured he would get a quick nap in first.
When he got to the bunkroom, he collapsed on his bed, falling asleep instantly. He woke up an hour later to an argument, and Leo sat up in his bed, still drowsy, when he quickly recognized Lana, who was talking loudly with another boy a few beds down from Leo's.
He was instantly jealous, but then he wondered if that boy was her brother....

"Nyet, Sveta! You must stay here!" Pasha shouted, his eyes narrowing at his sister. Since when did she need to leave the lodging house? There was nothing out in the city for her, especially not food. That's what the kitchen was for.
"Pasha! Stop this!" Lana protested with a heavy sigh. Her brother was barely around as it was, so how come he had to make his presence known in the worst way possible?
"Who is it, Sveta?" he asked, his hands balling up into fists. Pasha hated the idea of his sister seeing anybody, let alone someone he did not approve of before her already meeting him.
"That is none of your business," she answered, scooping the Starfish up into her arms. "He is good and he takes care of me. He helps me. More than could be said for you!" She pushed past her brother towards the doorway. "Mama and Papa would like him. He looks out for me when you do not!"

Leo laid back down on the bed, pretty horrified. Oh no. So many boys came and went from the LH, Leo barely recognized most of them anymore.
But this Pasha. he had seen him multiple times drinking at Irving Hall. He would surely recognize Leo, too. But Leo didn't even know what to do. He couldn't even get out of bed with Lana noticing him now. He was trapped...

"Who is it, Sveta?" Pasha asked again, his teeth clenched. His hands balled up into fists as he stared at the back of her head. He approached his sister slowly. He was going to make his sister tell who this stranger that she had been spending time with was if it was the last thing he did. "Do I have to move you again?"
"I will not let you move me," Lana denied, finally standing up to her brother. She turned around to face him, her eyes narrowing. "You can leave if you want, but I am staying."
Lana's words angered Pasha. His eyes narrowed at the girl and he quickly lifted his hand up, but stopped it mid-air. "We are leaving. I work too hard for you to do this." When he found out who this boy was, ooh, he swore that he was going to make him pay.

Leaving? He was gonna take her away?
Leo laid there, holding his head and wondering what his next move was. Lana was doing a very good job sticking up for herself, and Leo really didn't think he could do much better.
Finally he sat up, grabbing his pants and getting dressed. He walked past the pair on the way to the bathroom, not wanting to give himself or Lana away by looking at her. So he didn't, and went straight to a nearby stall.

Before her brother could answer, Lana stormed out of the room and headed up the stairs towards the girls bunkroom to get ready to go out. She was NOT about to let her brother dictate her life anymore.
Pasha headed into the washroom. After that, he needed to cool off! He walked over to the row of sinks and splashed water onto his face. "Girls...." he said with a sigh.

Leo walked over to the sink next to him, washing his hands. "Aye, you okay, muchacho?"

Pasha turned his head to look at the stranger, expressionless. "Nyet," he answered. "Do you have a sister? Never have a sister." He sighed and splashed some more water on his face. "They are nothing but trouble. You try to take care of them, but they do not appreciate it."

Leo chuckled. "No. I do not have anybody," he remarked, washing his face. "Who is your sister?"

"Svetlana," Pasha answered coldly. "All I ask is that she stay here. She cannot do a thing as simple as that! How can she expect to be a suitable wife?" He paused, laughing. "If that were to ever happen, that is." He laughed to himself, his head shaking as he reached for a towel to wipe off his face. "With that attitude, no respectful Russian will ever want her."

Leo gulped. he was far from Russian, he didn't even look the part! pasha would never approve of him. "This is America. She will find someone."

"Not with that attitude, she will not," Pasha reasoned with another quick shake of his head. He shrugged and pushed himself away from the row of sinks. "You are lucky you do not have a sister, comrade."

Leo nodded, and glanced at himself once in the mirror and knew it was time to meet Lana. "I have met your sister. She is very nice. She will be fine, senor." Leo assured him.

"You know my sister?" Pasha asked, his eyebrows arching. Oh, he was not amused. "How did you come to meet her?" She knew better than to talk to the boys in this house! Suddenly, Eli's warning came back to him. Oh, this would NOT do! "What have you done to her?"

Leo blinked at him, remaining calm. "I went to go make tea after my job, and she was in the kitchen." He left it at that, figuring that would explain it.
It was a lot better than the truth, anyway. Oh dear, Lana was expecting him...
