Sergei, meanwhile, was unaware of the fact that Kassian was eyeing him and Matvei. No, Matvei was the only other Ocelot he was currently aware of at the moment, even though they were crowded all around him. His eyes were on the spectacle at hand and his thoughts were half on Borishnakov and half on other things.

Worrying again. He'd be teased if anyone noticed his far-off look, but he couldn't help it. He cared for his major (his friend) and his recent absence was bothersome. Despite the fact that Ocelot had explained his reasons (which were legitimate), Sergei was still wondering if the major was okay.

He didn't blame Borishnakov for running past. In a way, it wasn't worth the risk.
