[He's about to thank his lucky stars when the officer cuts the Hanabi scolding short, but he asks a question they really didn't go over. He didn't think they'd want to know about their history, and he's about to object to it and ask what that has anything to do with them getting attacked by a monster, but Yoimiya beats him to it. He lets out a sigh and smiles, folding his arms over his chest. He's going to skip the occupation question and focus on following up with Yoimiya's statement.]

That's Yoimiya's way of saying she got completely lost and clung to my side until we finally got her home.

[He laughs, giving her a look. A kinship over being country bumpkins? Girl...if she were anyone else no one would buy that.]

Oh, so where are you from Mr. Volkov?

[He takes the opportunity for the follow up question, and Ajax replies coolly, without skipping a beat.]

Snezhnaya. I'm from a backwater town in the middle of nowhere. Yoimiya's right, we're definitely both country bumpkins, but you get used to it here pretty quickly.
