His steps were light as Lex wandered down the path in the direction of Anatoly's hut for their first Russian lesson. His mood was high for two reasons: his actual true joy of learning something new and spending time with someone that he considered a friend. Clark had been his first real friend, so the idea was still new to him. At home he couldn't trust just anyone and here was proving to be almost as difficult. But Lex didn't feel like that around Anatoly. He felt more like Lex then Lex Luthor then he had since arriving on the island and it hadn't taken nearly killing himself by driving recklessly off a bridge to do it.
In his hand, he clutched a small bottle of rum. He'd heard rumors of Han Solo giving away semi decent rum. When he'd noticed that today was the day of the Russian Revolution, he felt the need to bring something to celebrate so he'd tracked down the famous smuggler, hiding his inner geeky fanboy rather well if he thought so himself, and managed to procure some of said alcohol.
Finally arriving at the hut, Lex knocked on the wood by the door. "Hello?" He called politely in Russian, not sure yet if he should just walk in or not. He figured it was better to be polite.

Date: Nov. 8th, 2008 04:25 am (UTC)He glanced at the bottle curiously. "Holiday? I - oh, yes. I hadn't realized the date. Thank you."
Revolution Day had always left him with very mixed feelings. There had been so much hope, so much promise, and for what?

The Revolution came true, it just took longer then anyone thought." He lightly reminded Anatoly of the news he had shared during their first meeting. "And anything worth having is worth waiting for."

Date: Nov. 8th, 2008 06:51 am (UTC)"Outside it is then. Do you really spend so much time in there? I think I'd go crazy." He remarked as he stepped outside into the sunlight, looking around for a place for them to sit.

Date: Nov. 8th, 2008 06:54 pm (UTC)Lex was going to have his work cut out for him, there was no doubt about that. He was perfectly content being left to his own devices, and very well might have to literally be dragged out.
Still, that was neither here or there at the moment. Finding a good spot to sit and begin the lesson was the focus of the day After looking around, he gestured to a nearby palm tree. "What about here?"

He walked over a settled himself gracefully on the ground beside it, removing two cups from his pockets that he'd brought to accompany the bottle of rum.

Date: Nov. 8th, 2008 11:36 pm (UTC)He'd tried to teach Florence, but that had turned out to be a disaster. This would be different, he was sure, but all the same, he wasn't going to start with Cyrillic.

Date: Nov. 8th, 2008 11:45 pm (UTC)This would be different. Because Lex took things like this with obsessive seriousness and had no intention of letting himself or his teacher fail. And if anything, at least he was spending time with one of the few people on the island he trusted. That was almost enough in of itself.
