Sergei took Thalia's things and Aria sat back down and turned off her wallet. The last time they'd met Aria had been overwhelmed with the city and the multitude of emotions, today she shook hands with the woman. While not significant to others, Aria saw the difference. How a few months had changed her, and not all for the better. Despite the control she'd gained she feared much about herself. Last night Lucas had helped, maybe it would get better? One could only hope, she really didn't want it to get worse.
Aria didn't believe it was fate, coincidence. Aria could see no reason the three of them needed to meet again and in a tattoo parlor. It was just coincidence that they'd found themselves here. Maybe it was just God's way of telling her she'd come full circle. Which in and of itself was rather comforting. She'd changed a lot since coming to Moscow. She was living on her own, working alone and doing fairly well considering she'd not actually taken a monster out with out the assistance of a godling. Maybe that was God telling her something too. But those thoughts and self realizations were for later.
The snowmen in Arbatskaya? Aria had seen much of Moscow by night, but she didn't recall seeing any snowmen either. But she hadn't been out that direction in a while. Aria glanced at Lucas and smiled. She turned back to Thalia. "I've not been that direction in a while. Though I've seen much of Moscow since coming. Met some unexpected people."
That was really an understatement. She'd met men and a woman who were reborn gods. There were very few mundane people she'd met since coming to Moscow.
