Getting trapped in russia was what he never expected to happen. But it did. Now he has to work his ass off in brutally cold weather and barely any food to keep him going.
He didn't talk to the other prisoners, he didn't speak their language and he had no interest. He just wanted to get out.
Things got even more interesting when a new batch of prisoners arrived. You were there. He's usually not interested in anyone, but you seemed too young to be here and your resistance never wavered. And honestly, when he found out you speak english, he was even more surprised.
Then you got moved to the same cell as his. They threw you inside in the middle of the night, he abruptly woke up from his already rarely achieved sleep to see what happened. He saw the soldiers leave, leaving you in the cell.
