Logan glanced over at the people who seemed to be making a fuss over Celsius. He glared darkly at them. He wasn't sure what they were saying but he didn't like it one bit.

Thankfully, the trio did not approach. Two of them turned and left. One of the males, a tall, dark-haired man with emerald eyes and a very built figure, did not. He stayed behind, absently studying the penguins.

Celsius finally looked up from the penguins. For some reason, he looked a little startled when he glanced across the exhibit and saw this tall, dark-haired man standing on the other side of it. Was that recognition in his features?

Logan was glad that at least most of the trio had left. He looked over at Celsius in confusion. " Is everything alright?" He asked.

Celsius jumped, turning back to Logan. "Yeah. Everything's fine. Hey...do you remember my little cousin Viktor?"

Viktor was Celsius' nineteen year-old second cousin. His family lived in Russia...as such, he and Celsius rarely ever saw each other. The last time he had seen Viktor had been when he was seven and Viktor was six. Celsius was twenty, now. Viktor had had long black hair and piercing emerald eyes...

Logan mused for a few seconds, the name sound familiar, but he didn't really remember the person the name went with. " The name I recall, the person I do not, why are you bring this up now?" Logan asked. His eyebrows were knitted in confusion.

"Because..." Celsius nodded as subtly as he could to the beast of a man standing on the other side of the exhibit. "...I think that's him..."

The man certainly resembled the little Russian boy that Celsius had last seen. He'd seen more recent pictures of Viktor online...but no very recent ones. But was it him?

" Hmm, Oh, well do you want to go over there and see if that is him? I wish I could tell you for certain if it was, but that man over there, doesn't remind me of anyone." Logan said.

"...I'm...well, a bit wary of just going over there and asking him," Celsius admitted, sheepishly. "He's rather scary-looking. I don't want to get popped in the face for asking or anything..."

" Well, then what should we do? I could go over, but then again, he's not my cousin so he might not answer me. I also wouldn't let anyone hurt you" He said.

"...Maybe we should wait for him to look this way?" Celsius suggested, hopefully. He pointedly stared at the man, silent for a few moments. He hoped he would be noticed.

The man seemed to sense that he was being watched. He lifted his head and met Celsius' eyes. Their eyes remained locked for a moment before the larger man grunted and shrugged away from the railing of the exhibit, which he had been leaning on. He made his way around to the other side of the exhibit, and before words were exchanged, he leaned forward and enveloped Celsius in a big hug.

"Hello, cousin." He had a deep, sultry sort of voice. And a heavy Russian accent. "It's been a while." He glanced up towards Logan, puzzled. "...I remember you. I just don't remember your name..."

" Yes, that seems to be the best idea" Logan said, in response to Celsius suggestion. Logan along with Celsius, watched the other man for a second, before he seemed to notice them and head their way. When the man went and hugged Celsius before speaking, Logan was ready to attack, but when he spoke, he relaxed slightly.

When he was spoken to, Logan felt slightly bad, that this guy could at least remember his face, while Logan didn't seem to recall him at all. " Ah, yes my name is Logan" He said.

Viktor's brow furrowed. "...The bodyguard, yes?" he asked, hopefully. He remembered faces much more than he remembered details about people.

Celsius snuggled against Logan's arm once Viktor released him.

" Yeah." Logan said. He turned his head slightly, and smiled at Celsius. There was just something about this guy, well cousin, he didn't like one bit.
[[ I meant to ask yesterday, but where do you find your pictures?]]

((That one I found randomly, through hours of searching different terms on Google Images and Photobucket.))

"Ah, I see..." Viktor took a few more looks between Celsius and Logan, and then he nodded, firmly. "You make a nice couple," he stated, bluntly, with a charming sort of grin on his face. "If you're wondering, I'm here on vacation. I need to get away from my parents..."

He was an only-child, just like Celsius was.

[[ Ah I see. Alright, I'll have to try using google at least then.]]

Logan was thrown for a loop when he mentioned that they made a nice couple. He hadn't really expect that from any of Celsius family members. " Um thank you" He mumbled. He looked to see Celsius reaction, to this news.

Celsius did not seem surprised. While he hadn't seen Viktor in years, or seen pictures, he'd been in contact with him on several different sites, including an art site he was rather fond of. It was no secret, even among Celsius' whole family, that Viktor was very open about his sexuality. He was quite flamboyantly gay, though he sometimes, very reluctantly, settled for women when he couldn't find good fun for the night.

"Thanks, Viktor," he muttered, looking amused.

"No problem..." Viktor leaned back against the railing, eyeing them rather curiously. "Say, you guys don't know of anyone who's single and looking, do you? Because I'm certainly looking...and it's already getting rather boring here..."

Logan stood there recalling he once had heard a few of the other servants gossiping about the news they had heard about Viktor when Celsius Father, had ranted about it. So he had some idea that he swung for me. He thought of the few people he knew, and really didn't know anyone single. He looked over to Celsius, a bit sure, that out of the two of them he would know someone single more than Logan would.

[[ If you want me to bring in another person in, I can. Cause I totally have this picture in mind for the guy, and everything.]]

((If you want to, go on ahead! :D I love playing Viktor. He's such a big meanie. X3))

Celsius was frowning, and he seemed to be deep in thought. He was running different suitable males through his head. Unfortunately, he didn't know of any male associates of his that were openly into other guys...so he couldn't say for sure.

"Sorry, Vikki..." he murmured, apologetically. "I can't think of anyone."

Viktor frowned, folding his arms across his chest. "Aww. That's a damned shame."

[[ Alright, Yay! Logan's parents can bring he's cousin, to the meeting thing, and maybe Viktor could be over. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../Anime/229.jpg Do you think he looks Asian?]]

Logan watched the two interact, wondering if he would end up being able to interact this way with any of his family.

((Sounds good to me. Seems like Asian mixed with something European to me. :3))

Celsius rested his head comfortably on Logan's shoulder. "If you don't have anywhere to be, Viktor, you can head on back to my house. My mother is sure to welcome you in. Dad's not home right now, so you should be safe."

"I might do that. I'm not fond of hotels...especially American hotels." Viktor wrinkled his nose a bit. He then turned and started to stride away, waving to them. "Goodbye. I'll see you later..."

[[Alright, just checking.]]

Logan waved bye, and the turned to speak to Celsius. " Well your were right. So what shall we do now?" He asked.

"We can still continue our date. Viktor's a night owl. He'll probably just find a guest room once he gets to our home and pass out for a few hours," Celsius revealed, pleasantly. "We've seen pretty much every animal here. Where would you like to go next?"

" Alright. Well I'm in the mood for some food actually? What about you?" He asked. It had suddenly dawned on Logan, that he was starving.

"Oooh, sure. I'm starting to get hungry, too," Celsius admitted, looking amused. "You want to eat here, or somewhere else?"

" Well, it's doesn't matter to me. Though, I was thinking we could go to the little Chinese place we go to sometimes. Though, I'll let it be your choice." He told him with a wide grin.
