"Yeah." Matvei gave a sheepish smile, immediately picturing Ilya going absolutely spare, Andrei having to calm him down before he could get down to business functionally.
And then, if Ilya found Vladya, he would dispense personal justice. Ilya allowed no insult against his squad unpunished, and he was good at separating heightened emotions from a situation. He would come up with something infinitely worse than a good kicking Andrei might give.
"You bet I'll find him." He grinned. "We jumped him once with rope and tape. We can do it again."
He felt slightly uncomfortable about all this, and wondered if Andrei, or any of the others, would call him on the fact he had avoided the "sacred duty" shit... blame him, somehow, for Vladya's leaving. It didn't seem like he would've appreciated it, anyway, and that just... wasn't Matvei's thing.
He thought he might be forgiven for opting out, but nonetheless, things seemed to have been fucked-up enough this week that he felt it was best not to depend on certainty.
He also didn't seem quite comfortable with meeting Andrei's eye, although he seemed otherwise fine.
