[Action at 456 Stone st]

[If you happen to live on Stone st, or just pass by, you'll find Hungary muddied to the knees, garden gloves on and shovel hard at work. There is a pile of dirt on one side, and unplanted bulbs waiting their turn.]

Stupid jerk got himself droned for good. [She gives the shovel a swift, hard dig as she mutters] sticking me with a small zoo in the house the stupid drone won't even take care of.

[Perhaps this would put an end to the perpetual and continuous destruction of her flower garden for good...]

So you really are back...

I haven't been here ever before, Mrs Hungary.

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

Right.




[The "Mrs" throws her off, though, as does the absence of "comrade" and "little Hungary."] I'm not sure whether to welcome you or feel sorry for you. It's not a good place to be in for the first or second time.

You must have been here for quite a while, yes?

[He's being pretty polite - definitely very different from Soviet times.]

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

A little over a year. It's been... trying. [Not anymore difficult what she had been through at her home, but then she remembers the reason for that and resumes frowning.] You've seen your sister, then.

Is Austria here as well?

Yes, I met her. She has [hesitating for a moment]... changed.

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

In a manner of speaking, if not himself.

Many of us have changed here.
