Eat Drink And Be Merry
The trip to Moscow went rather smoothly. With all the kids in the jet, she would have expected some chaos, but after an hour or so in the air, they settled down. Some even slept, which was the best thing they could do with the timezone changes and all. Natasha read reports her nephew sent and had finished the stack of papers by the time they arrived in Moscow in the early morning.

The kids were given a car and driver along with a security detail and were given most of the day to explore Moscow. Natasha spent most of it with her nephew and his finacee. There was a brief meeting with Putin that she somehow managed to get through. Was it bad that she still wanted to shoot the man?

Dinner was a grand affair. A formal banquet with all the trappings and all of the kids were on their best behavior. There wasn't even any bickering between Misha and Anya. Natasha would take the small miracles when she could.

After dinner they retired to their rooms for an hour to change and freshen up. Natasha slipped into her second dress and made a quick call to Tony. Then she headed downstairs to the ballroom.

Anya loved parties and loved dressing up for them, but tonight her heart just wasn't in it. Aunt Jan had made her an awesome dress and there had been the obligatory spa visit before leaving, but she could really care less.

The Temujin stuff weighed heavily on her mind along with having to move to Boston. She had yet to tell Steve and anyone else for that matter and she wasn't looking forward to it. She wished Dad would have let her use the suit for commuting, but he did have a point and she really didn't deserve to use it. Not after her major act of stupidity.

She looked at the gathered crowd and suddenly wished she were miles away.

Steve put an arm around her shoulder. Not that he would wish her distractions on her for the world, but it gave him a distraction from his own feeling out of place. This was definitely not the kind of world he moved in. He was barely a step up from a carny kid. Definitely not the type you brought with you to something this high class. Not to mention the monkey-suit.

"Already? We just got here and think of the rumors that would be started," she said and smiled up at him. "I would love to. Some fresh air would be nice."

He grinned.

"Let's, then. And screw the rumors. 'less, of course, we make sure they're true."

Corey had been a Good Boy. He'd enthusiastically and very thoroughly, but politely and reasonably, answered the one question he'd been asked on the jet about his Santa Catarina-related reading material.

And then, Moscow. The architectural aesthetic was just beautiful.

He couldn't help but notice, the first time he walked on dirt, that it was connected with some pretty exhausted soil, though. Not that he hadn't read that about Russia, but it was too bad to actually feel it.

And then it was time to put on his suit, which was clean, Cait would be happy to see.

"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you without some dirt on you," Cait said as she offered her brother a glass of sparkling cider. "You clean up well, little brother."

Cait had chosen a simple dress in the Roman style. She could wear it again the next time they had a formal function to go to in Nova Roma.

"Thank you. Thought you would have been used to being wet by now. Mom would just die to see us like this," she said. "I can't wait to see what the ballroom looks like. Can you imagine? Us at a really fancy party. It blows the mind.

Eliza had regretted not getting a date. But her choices had been limited and she was still unsure about asking anyone out past a first date. Which was a shame now as she did the final touches on her hair.

Today had been fun though. She had never been to Russia before now.

She checked over the lines in her dress and was happy it had held up through the trip so well. She was glad that Romanov women cleaned up so well. This party would be fine she was certain that she could avoid any match makers tonight.

And as there was heading downstairs, Corey paused for a moment. "Oh, Hercules, that's..." He cleared his throat. "That's a nice dress."

The match makers might just get foiled. Eliza smiles graciously at him. "Thank you Corey. You look good in that suit. It's um, a good color on you."

Given that it's a nice earthy brown it does fit him quite well. She wasn't aware of his powers either just that he has something special going on for him. "Want to walk down with me?"

Misha waited in the ball room exchanging pleasantries with various guests and smiling amiably. He kind of enjoyed the surprise they tried to hide when realized he spoke Russian, although a few insisted on trying their English out on him. The first time this happened confused him as their English was technically correct. Then he realized it was the American slang they wanted to practice.

He waited patiently for his mother, sisters, and Mikhail's fiancee to appear so he could get the duty dances out of the way. Then he could relax and ignore the faint scrabbling sensation in his head. There was a bottle of vodka in his room for later, if he needed it.

"You hurt my feelings," he cheerfully told her. "I'm putting the natives at ease with the American branch of their royal family and politely declining their offers to introduce me to a 'suitable' girl. Still having a good time?"

"You look hurt," she said. "What you haven't told them that you've found a suitable guy already?" She winked. She couldn't imagine what it had to be like for him to have people going on about getting married and having kids. She thought her mother was bad for already having mentioned grandkids, but Misha had it a hundred times worse.

"I am, thank you. It's a wonderful party and I'm glad I'm here."

Natasha danced one dance with her nephew and then mingled. Usually she loved parties like this, but this wasn't the same without Tony here. She missed him and despite wanting to get out of the house for a bit, she suddenly found herself wanting to be home. Maybe she was getting old and growing up a bit.

She sipped at the glass of champagne she carried. The glass had lasted her an hour so far and it wasn't even half empty. Yeah, she was getting older. Thinking of getting older, she had to remember to make the final arrangements for Tony's birthday. It was just over a week away.

Natasha did her usual sweep of the room and checked on the kids. Misha was talking to Caitlyn Drake. Eliza was talking to Corey Drake. David was off to the side being his usual quiet self and Anya...her daughter was no where to be seen. Not too surprising. Her mad little genius knew the ins and outs of these parties and had probably come in, let everyone see her, said hi and then disappeared just as fast as she had arrived.

Natasha let it go. Anya was going through a rough patch in the road and some quality time with her boyfriend could do nothing but help. The kid had mentioned her conversation with Tony about her punishment and for the most part Natasha was on the same page. Though Anya did ask Tasha to talk to Tony about the use of the suit for getting to school. Natasha recognized the desire in the kid to not move away from her friends and family. Natasha added the request to the mental list of things to do when she got home.

With any luck after an hour or two Natasha could disappear and retreat back to her room.

The Winter Guard was always responsible for the safety of the country and the imperial family. Tonight they had the luck of doing their part as security for the Tsar's engagement party.

Zemlya didn't mind donning a tux. He thought he looked rather good in one and the party would be full of beautiful women. It wasn't such a bad gig.

He stood off to the size near Tsar Mikhail and watched the crowd.

David had done his best to be extra polite to the guests. He had done better earlier in the day when it had been just strictly Misha's collection of siblings and the Drakes. Tasha had been cool as well honestly.

So he took stock of the ball room and silently counted the ways he could avoid causing a social problem of some kind. He just wasn't very suave. At least he could get away with his current suit it had passed the Romanov women test. None of them had frowned over it so obviously it had worked out very well.

David offers his friend a small smile. "I've had some. It's different than what I'm used to from home but it has a good flavor."

He can tell the differences between the kinds of fruits they use. For most it wouldn't stand out but for him it's pretty much right in his face. "You seemed to be having fun. Different from this afternoon anyways."
