"A year ahead is it? Well done, and don't let the older kids give you a hard time."
He was of mixed opinion about letting children advance in grades. While they benefited from the steadily increasing difficulty in curriculum, they were often victims of bullying or segregation from other children who saw them as different or felt threatened by the younger child's intelligence.
"Transfers to Moscow are often seen as very prestigious things. You must be very good at your job."
He had worked hard, but arriving in the capital wasn't his end goal. He would have been just as happy in London, but it was a new challenge and he wasn't the type to shy away from such a thing.
The child's curiosity was obvious, and he assumed, rather boundless. Coupled with her overwhelming confidence could spell trouble for the kid, and endless stress for her mother, but the two did seem to get along together rather well. It was a rather surprising dynamic, considering how young Nadia seemed to be. A child Zoe's age, and doing so well as to warrant a transfer to Moscow, at...what, maybe 22? surely no more then 25. She had gotten a very young start to life, apparently.
