Ross was aimlessly wandering around the settlement again after having actually left the hospital grounds, or what really passed as a hospital. It was more clinic than anything these days but his dad had been there and that's where he had been when he wasn't at home or doing his own life's work - just because he didn't have his degree in teaching didn't mean he wasn't going to teach. He had opened a school in the settlement, it was the elementary school that once was. He taught everything he could think of to the available youth in their community, as small as the group was.
He looked up when he heard a woman speaking frantically in Russian, the two toddlers trying their hardest to keep up, and the man with them who looked lost beyond all comprehension. He recognized the woman, and the toddlers; they were basically his neighbors "Nadya, are you okay?" Ross asked of the woman, though he used Russian to speak with her. He had his own well-traveled languages; Russian, Chinese, Japanese and, of course, Spanish. His family had spent years representing worldwide companies, and learning these languages had, unfortunately -or fortunately, in his case- been just apart of being with his family as a child.
Ross looked to the man who was with Nadya, but he really didn't find him to be a threat. In fact, Ross found him to be relatively attractive, not that he was trying to pick up a boyfriend or anything else at the moment. He listened to Nadya as she rapidly explained what the problem was -not that there was a real problem to be had. Ross sighed and straightened up, running a hand over his head "She is trying to find her husband, is all...There is no real emergency." Ross explained to the young man that had been helping Nadya. Ross went on to explain to Nadya where her husband was located, pointing her in the right direction. Nadya quickly collected her two toddlers and headed toward the hospital "Her husband is a doctor... Nadya has memory problems, she sometimes forgets where her husband goes..." It was one of the most repetitive problems he ever dealt with. He smiled at the young man "Thanks for taking care of her, getting her this far... She usually stays home, but I guess she had to get out and get something and then forgot where to go..."
