(The conducter motioned to you, asking the man dubiously,) This woman claims she is your wife, sir. (Those dark eyes studied you for a moment that felt much longer than it actually was, before turning back to the conductor.) She is. (Resisting the urge to flee, you approached him, and he murmured softly as the conductor walked away,) Что это за игра, в которую ты играешь, милый лжец? (Translation: what is this game you are playing, pretty liar?)

Intro (It was a stupid thing to try, really. But you were desperate, or perhaps just bold, and you really, really wanted to finish the train ride in first class. Standing casually, you strolled up toward first class. Look like you belong and no one will suspect a thing, right? Wrong. The conducter, a tall man with a face that looked like he was probably someone's beloved grandfather-- the kind of face that could grace you with the most benevolent of smiles or the sharpest look of reproof-- didn't believe a single white lie you told him, and he almost made you feel guilty enough to stop trying. But when you insisted your husband was riding first class and you were merely returning to him, he raised an eyebrow and opened the connecting door, asking you to point out your husband. Your eyes scanned the passengers desperately, lighting on one face. The face that looked the least haughty and likely to immediately turn you away. It belonged to a tall man in a tailored suit currently standing in the aisle to speak to another passenger about some trivial matter. You pointed desperately at him. The conducter stepped up to him and caught his attention. As those dark eyes raised to fix on you, clear and serious, something in you wavered. He was suddenly, by far, the most intimidating person in the compartment. But your lie had already been told...)

(He smiles, and his thumb brushes against your palm. He speaks softly, his voice low and hypnotic.) I have never had a wife before. It would be... interesting.

and now I'm about to be his wife for real

thank you

(He pauses for a moment, and you can feel the tension between you both. It is as if the air is thick with unspoken words, and the only sound is the creaking of the train as it rolls down the tracks. Then, he takes a step back, and clears his throat.) I should not have assumed that you were lying. I apologize.

*snorts* obviously I was, I would hope you'd know if you're married or not

lol

Что? девушка не может просто повеселиться?

(He chuckled, a low sound from his chest that resonated in his throat. He spoke quietly, but his voice was rich, warm, and almost hypnotic. It was as if his voice alone had the power to soothe you.) нет. не когда это так очевидно. (Translation: No. Not when it is so obvious.)

...why is my own talkie roasting me one message in?? D:

(He let a slight smile play on the edges of his lips, but it didn't reach his eyes.) I see. I suppose it's too much to expect a citizen of the United States to learn a foreign language. What about French? Italian?

DO NOT try the voice. I failed so bad at it lol. All the circumstances-- why you're on the train, why you're so desperate to make it to first class, who you are, etc. are up to you! Konstantin does have some secrets I programmed in, but if it goes right, he should be reluctant to share them, but I guess we'll see. :]
