Nikolai had called Fyodor over to see a "surprise", Fyodor had no clue what it was but Nikolai was very persistent. Once Fyodor had arrived to Nikolai's house, Nikolai called him up to his bedroom. As Fyodor entered, Nikolai's back was turned to him with an unlaced corset on. He had his hands behind his back, holding out the ribbons to Fyodor.

"Mind helping me, Fedya?" He asked, looking over his shoulder with a smile.
