[ Oh Fyodor. Surely you knew he knows manipulation when he sees it? Or is that all part of the game?
A first clue comes when Gogol frees up both hands by placing the ushanka on top of his own head without saying anything. The second clue should be how with a low and humourless laugh rumbling up from his chest he twirls Fyodor out from the safety of his arms with a flourish... and right back through the Overcoat. He reaches backwards into the fabric to grab the man by the ankle to dangle upside down five feet from the ground. ]
Haha hah, Fedya? You're so welcome! But, well, how should I say this? I have a question just for you.
[ So saccharine. But his jaw is clenched and his breathing still not entirely calmed. All clues point to one thing: anger bubbling up under the surface. ]
