They worked mostly in silence, Nicolai not quite in the mood to make the girl talk unless she wanted to. But he felt her eyes occasionally watching him, the first few times simply to assess his work. Of course once she realized that he was as experienced as he claimed she seemed to be looking at him...

Nicolai finished his work in silence much to the joy of the foreman. A few mistakes were made, and quickly rectified although not for the reasons he had been told. Rather his sheer frustration and anger at the position he was being put in caused Nicolai to err before he caught himself and fixed it. ...

Nicolai couldn't hide the amused look in his eyes as he looked up from the last page of the script and saw Nasku practically barreling towards him, or rather the food. Standing up he passed the sandwich over and then opened the bottle with a quick pop before handing it over. He was relieved that the...

He was gleaning tidbits of information about Nasku, from the glint in his eye at the mention of a darkened, private box to the implication of family drama. But this was probably well known if Nicolai bothered to look deeper into Nasku and his family. When he got a moment of time he would have to fin...

Nicolai felt butterflies briefly flutter in his chest before settling once more. He couldn't tell if it was merely his shared excitement at the soon-to-be glory of the theatre and the vision Nasku was bringing to life or if it was the excitement for the place that he obviously had. There was somethi...

Nicolai's nose crinkled momentarily as his name was finally called, a little disappointed at first but then he shot one of his care free grins at Nasku with an acknowledging nod. He obviously wasn't going to be starring but then he did still manage to pull a pivotal character. Not to mention he had ...

Nicolai was thankful that Nasku did not take his impertinence in the wrong way. He had intended on answering how he was used to long, hard nights with little sleep (innuendo intended but also when he was a young apprentice he was ofter left with the task of costume maintenance and then would have to...

Nicolai emerged from his shadowy corner just as Nasku walked by - the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Nicolai was proud of the job he had done, regardless of the humiliation of it, yet he kept a straight face as Nasku complimented him. After all only an idiot could have screwed up that job s...

Nicolai was too engrossed in the script to see Nasku approach but upon hearing his voice Nic looked up, his brown locks falling in front of his eyes. Running his hand through his hair to push it back he smiled "Well, they say the early bird catches the worm." He explained with a cheeky grin as he tu...

It was all that Nic could do to hold back his excitement that Nasku had taken him up on his offer to help out. He waited until he was a block away before he danced a little jig before sitting down on a bench. His hands shook a little and his breathing was heavy, it felt like he had been holding his ...

Nicolai tensed up slightly when his acting was critiqued but any evidence of that was soon gone. After all - he had told a story, not done a monologue or acted out scenes from a play so it was only natural that Nasku wouldn't have had the proper opportunity to judge him on that key fact. Not to ment...

So if you want I can come up with the story that Nicolai tells although that will take a few days at least. I was thinking about it being some kind of tragic love story that explains some kind of natural water resource that is near his village. Like a waterfall is actually the tears a man sheds beca...

Nic's acting skill certainly came into play in hiding his embarrassment at confusing Nasku for a common actor. But sometimes it was better to go with the flow instead of kissing the ring and mumbling apologies. Thankfully the young man did not seem insulted by his assumption, unlike some patrons of ...

Nicolai Svecha tried not to yawn as he stood outside of the construction project of a theatre, his domra in a special case beside him. He actually hadn't been aware that there was a theatre going up here in the outskirts of the city and may have missed auditions all together if a friend of an acquai...

Okay edited a bit more - sour aftertaste mostly. Work better?
