He sighed, his back to Nikolai now. "You're an awful lot like him, you know. My Derek, my beautiful one. He was so very much like you, so much that I look at you, and I can almost see him." Anthony didn't look at him, but glanced to the sky. "But I force myself to see the one thing that truly separates you both, and the similarities leave to plague me at another time."

Nikolai watched Anthony talk. He was like Derek? By what he heard, he was nothing at all like him! Derek was a bodyguard whereas he could barely handle any push-ups. He imagined Derek as big as Anthony with, he didn't know, a shaved head. "What's the one thing that separates us?" he asked with a curious look.

"God was first and foremost in Derek's life. You believe there is a God, Nikolai, but you do not worship him," he said simply, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

It was almost terrifying how accurate Anthony was. Nikolai was unnerved, he digressed, but refused to show it. "If that's the case then I wouldn't be a priest, now would I?" he pointed out.

He laughed, turning back to Nikolai. "Bullshit. You aren't a priest. I'm only so simple, Nikolai."

He stayed quiet for a while, rubbing his arm more. "Dammit," he finally spoke. "Was it that obvious?"

"Almost adorably obvious," he said, smiling. "It was cute watching you try to appear like any other priest."

Nikolai glared sideways despite the humiliated blush on his face.
I thought you said you knew how to be a priest! he yelled at Sloth.
Sloth whimpered, I-I thought I did, dearie, you must believe me! He groaned. Times certainly have changed...
Idiot!
"Alright, well you caught me." the Russian grumbled and looked at Anthony almost hesitantly. "Do you know what I really am then?" he asked while clasping his hand on his forearm nervously.

"I don't need to know," Anthony said, waving a hand. "If I want to know, I will find out soon enough. Until then, this is the way of the world, my pet. I won't sell you out, provided that you tell me all you know of the outside."

"So what, I'm your slave now?" Nikolai seethed and turned away with a 'Hmph!'. "And what do you mean 'outside?' You're already outside."

"I mean outside this city," he sighed, his hands on the railing as he peered downwards. "I don't know anything about the outside world, and the propaganda lies to us."

With a snort the false priest rested his forearms on the railing and leaned forward a little. "It's not much better. Most of the cities here are corrupted. Racism is too common, I think a few people are trying to take this up in court." Nikolai snorted, "Good luck to them."

"Still, anything is better than the ignorance here," he said, pushing his hair back.

"You really haven't been outside in the real world, have you?" Nikolai muttered and straightened up. He was just about to walk out when he somehow looked back out to the lights. "But... It's not completely bad. I saw a few families spend holidays together. It's almost..." His face softened. "Nice."

Anthony strode over to the elevator, pressing the button. "I want to get a tattoo," he said suddenly.
