It didn't take long to find them. The matching uniforms - though some were wearing an extra coat or two, and he didn't blame them - coupled with the cloud of smoke that had formed over the group... Sergei was surprised he hadn't noticed them earlier.
Andrei was the first one to call out to him. He hadn't exactly been expecting that, seeing as he was higher in rank and was usually busy chatting with Ilya or, more recently, the dark new addition to their ranks. He still had barely exchanged a word with the sniper, but that was partly due to the fact that Andrei had been so busy with him. Sergei wasn't the sort to get involved with gossip, even among his own comrades, but he had to wonder what Ilya thought of all that.
He was glad to be with his brothers again, unable to keep a bright smile from his lips as Andrei rushed forward to greet him. He wrapped his arm around the other soldier in kind, laughing faintly at the comment about his hair. "I know. The major might throw a fit if I don't take care of it soon." Letting it stay slightly longer didn't sound so bad, but if Ocelot wanted it short, then he would, of course, comply.
Sergei nodded in thanks when Andrei took one of his bags. He was certain the other knew he could carry all of his baggage on his own, so he saw the gesture as friendly instead of condescending.
As they made their way back to the rest of the group, he couldn't help searching out two people. First off was the major, but he had already figured Ocelot would be too busy to come out merely to greet him, and it seemed he'd been right about that. Second was his roommate, naturally, and it didn't take long for him to find Matvei. He looked slightly flushed and maybe rumpled, as if he'd been in a hurry. And Sergei knew that bed head better than anyone, since it was the first thing he saw most mornings.
He nodded to each of his brothers in turn, settling his gaze on Matvei last. "You slept in?" he asked with an amused grin.
