Y/N got away from Alex and went walking around, making sure everyone was still getting ready for the show. She noticed Vitaly, still eating borscht. She leaned against the wall with a smirk.

“That taste any good?” she asked, getting his attention.

He wiped his mouth and said, “Go away.”

“I just got here. Is it wrong that I actually want to hang out with you?” Y/N wondered, approaching him.

Vitaly seemed to look surprised, but regained himself, saying, “You can 'hang' with your brother and friends.”

"I've done that since we've lived in New York. It's nice to meet other animals like ourselves," she said.

"Well, this circus different than what you and your comrads have been through," he pointed out.

"I can agree to that," Y/N said.

They both chuckled then looked at each other.

“It may take me a while to trust your comrads, but I see potential in you,” he told her, making her smile.

“Understandable and thanks,” Y/N said.

He nodded his head to her then said as he walked off, “Enjoy the show.”

"I shall," she smirked at him.
