“You speak Russian?” Ilya’s voice is simultaneously incredulous and thrilled, like he can’t quite believe it, but he’s excited all the same.

Hayden Pike never really talks about his mom's family. Ilya finds out why and decides he simply *must* fix this.

He is going to teach Hayden Pike how to be Russian, whether Hayden likes it or not.
