( Welcome to space, Otabek. This is apparently a welcome to the world of Victor Nikiforov hugging you unprompted, though at least once he pulls back to clasp Otabek's upper arms with his hands, Victor's giving the other skater back most of his immediate bubble.

Most. Not all. He's not quite that caringly self aware, and this situation is not a pleasant or easy one. He's at least calm, past that initial burst of energy and confusing sort of affection. Finding any part of the home he's been taken from (along with Yuuri and Makkachin) hits him in the gut. )

By my count? Over two months. I started keeping track; by the calendar I'm using, it's February 14th today. I showed up here on December... 11th? By ship calendar. Yuuri arrived right before January 1st.

[This personal space thing was going to take some work--and time to get used to. With any luck, the hugs wouldn't come too frequently.

Two months...was a long time, especially since he had heard nothing of his disappearance--not to mention he had just seen the both of them at the Grand Prix. That concept earned a concerned hum.]

Nothing had been said about you or Katsuki missing back home before I came here. I saw both of you not too long ago.

( This announcement takes Victor by visible surprise. Though it niggles in the back of his head; he frowns, thoughtful in the aftermath of this striking consideration. )

Yes... but when, and where? I'd seen you too, but it was last as we all were heading in to the rink in Barcelona for the Men's Singles Short Program.

[qarajilqi]

At the gala...I don't understand how you could be two places at once, but you were. You and Katsuki both.

[Were copies made? Was there another Otabek back home standing in for him as well? None of this made any sense.]

[genice]

( he blinks, lifting a hand up to rest his index finger on his chin. )

But we weren't. Or... I don't remember any of that.

( which is troubling on a whole different level. )

It's not the only time people have found differences in what or when they remember... but it. Hm. Yuuri arrived in costume for Eros.

( he glances up, pressing his lips into a thinning line. )

This is going to lead to a whole new set of headaches if I think on it without getting coffee or tea into me. Have you found your bunk yet?

[qarajilqi]

[Tea, coffee, a hard drink--honestly he could be up for any of those things. This was far too much to deal with in a matter of days (hours?)]

Ah. I found it but then all of this started--I haven't really been inside much...

[He wasn't even sure if he'd be able to locate it right now, given how dark the halls could be.]

I think it was back down this hall way.

[genice]

( He'll take him out drinking once that's actually more sensible than at present; as it is now, he nods in the low emergency lighting, straightening up best as he can under the circumstances. )

Yuuri and I have rooms back this way, down the hall. We've got a French press.

( ??? yes, he's. offering to make coffee. in the midst of all this. this is why they have straws and travel mugs. )
