Ilya instinctively interlocked their fingers. It had been too long since he'd had human contact, or at least, that was why he told himself he did it. He's not sure, actually, what he's doing. That's not a new sensation, either, so he just tries to power on through it like nothing is weird about this.
"Where I grew up most food was either fish or reindeer meat. So I like a lot of foods because I like new things, and there's always something else I've never had before. It's a longstanding joke in Russia you have to like vodka if you were born in Siberia, but my healing factor makes it not make me get drunk." Or at least, not off a few shots. He's never actually had the opportunity or motivation to actively try to get drunk; what would the point in that be? "I'm still sort of learning what I like and don't like. Everything is new and that can be great, but it can be a bit much, too. Especially since people actually talk to me now. I'm used to just being the bookworm in the corner." Since they're in semi-private, he feels comfortable adding, "Thank you. For what you said when you found out I'm only half white. It - it means a lot, you know."
