Taras stepped into the hall, closing his door behind him.

He had showered and changed, and now had on the casual clothes he wore to work out, complete with a light jacket over his tank, to cover his shoulders and arms. That was better. Easier than having his tattoos on display, even if it was only Isaev's brother and his comrade.

Taras carried the bottle of cognac that he'd brought with him from Leningrad, Isaev's brand.

He felt the strange need to see Ilarion.

Taras crossed to Isaev's door and knocked briskly, then opened it and stepped inside, pausing to assess the situation.

The room was mostly as he'd left it. The Ukrainian sat in the corner, still clutching Lasha's vodka bottle, though it looked considerably less full than before. Taras frowned at that.

Ilarion and Andrusha sat next to each other, leaning close with chairs pushed together, like they had been talking.

Taras wasn't certain how long he'd been gone. A while.

He held up the bottle, as if it had only been a few minutes.

"Brought more cognac," he said.

Taras found his gaze drawn to Isaev's long, tapered fingers, watching Ilarion work loose the knot of silk with idle tugs.

"Okei," he said, quietly. His voice sounded strange.

Taras cleared his throat.

"You're right. Might as well, while we're thinking about it."

He shifted where he sat, leaning forward slightly, resting his forearms on his knees.

"What did - " he started, breaking off with a scowl.

What did Barshai think, he'd almost asked.

Ilarion's eyes were keen behind low lids, watching him.

Taras shook himself.

"What did...you find, to keep it from drying out? Lotion or ointment or something like I said, right?"

He nodded.

"We kept everything real clean so it should have healed quick, no problems."
