Lena Petrova spoke almost no English. She when started asking around for her husband she got mostly odd stares. Finally she found a staff person who noticed she needed help. Lena stood there while the Doctor Lady called someone on the phone.
--------------------
Julianna did not know much Russian but she knew enough to know to call the Creepy Guy and ask him to come help translate some things. She used the House Phone to call down to his office and ask t speak with him.

Luckily, Dimitri had not been fishing around in a dead person when the phone in his office rang. Rather, he had been in his office, organizing some files. Dr. Karloff was a man who loved organization and often re-organized things that he had already organized before, just to make sure that everything was as it should be.
Picking up the phone, Dimitri said, "Hello, this is Disney Land, happy Kingdom of Magic. How am I helpink you today?"

Julianna wondered if she should spare the woman Dimitri and just hang up. "Yes, Hello, this is Dr. Grayson, I am on the nurses Station in the main entrance. I have a young lady here who speaks only Russian and we can not find Alexei, could you give us a hand in helping her find who she is looking for, please?"

Dimitri lowered his brow a Dr. Grayson's choice of wording, as she had decided to tell him that they were only calling him because nobody could find Alexei. Of course, nobody talked to Dr. Karloff unless it was a last resort, but he was used to it, of course.
"I am very very busy man and I am not translator. . ." Dimitri spoke as if he was about to just hang up the phone. However, he cheerfully continued, "But I come and do this for you and then you owe me favor. Okay? Okay! I be upstairs in two minute! Go nowhere!"
Before Dr. Grayson could say otherwise, Dimitri hung up the phone and got up from his chair. Before walking away, he made sure to straighten the papers on his desk so that the edges of the paper were precisely parallel with the edges of the table.

IF he had hung up Julianna would have just walked tot he next nurses station and had him paged to there, but he was wise enough to come to her. Julianna hung up and wondered if it was to late to just walk away. Julianna looked at the woman and smiled knowing nothing they said would be able to be understood by the other. "Someone is coming to help you."
------------------------
The doctor was talking but Lena had no clue what she was saying. She understood the word Doctor. But nothing else. What about a doctor? Lena gave a smile and a nod.

As the elevator carried Dimitri up into the land of the living, the Russian hummed a little tune to himself in order to keep himself occupied. Dr. Karloff certainly always needed something to do or he might go insane (as if he wasn't there already.) When the elevator made that cheerful 'ping!' noise and opened it's doors, Dimitri strolled out into the main area, where he assumed Dr. Grayson and the woman that they claimed only spoke Russian. (Dimitri did hope that it was Russian and not something like Turkish or Czech.)
Though he didn't know what Dr. Grayson looked like (having never been introduced to her before) nor did he know what the confused Russian woman looked like (having never been introduced to her either), Dimitri was a fairly clever man. When he spotted a professional-looking woman with a Seattle Grace ID tag standing with a more causally-dressed young woman with a lost sort of look on her face, Dr. Karloff was able to guess that perhaps these were the people he was looking for.
Going up to them, Dimitri asked, "Dr. Livinkston, I presume? --Eh, I mean Grayson, not Livinkston. So sorry."

Lena heard the Russian accent in his voice and smiled. She spoke in Russian. "Hello. Do you speak Russian?" She hoped she was right, and the accent was not something American and just close to Russian. She waited for him to answer. ------------ Julianna was about to say something but then the Russian woman cut her off. Oh well. Make her escape now. "Thank you, and good luck Dr. Karloff." ----------- Lena looked between them. WOW, the blond doctor was amazing. She had brought her husband to her! "Dr. Dimitri Karloff?"

Dimitri grinned in a friendly way at the young woman and replied in Russian, " No, I'm sorry. I only speak Klingon." He thought he was funny. Dr. Karloff was not surprised that Dr. Grayson was making a speedy exit. After all, nobody ever wanted to stay near the creepy coroner very long. And it certainly figured that this woman was just looking for a Russian to dump the poor, lost woman on. Dimitri gave Julianna a very polite smile and nod and replied, "Yes, I vill be seeink you later to get return for this favor." He was not going to let her forget this little event. Looking back to Lena, Dimitri nodded and replied in Russian, " Yes, I am Dr. Dimitri Karloff. I can help you until we get a translator. Okay, where are you hurt?" He assumed that the woman needed medical care, since she was in a hospital, after all. [[ooc. I am going to use italics for Russian and not-italics when going back to English. It's easier for me that way.]]

Lena's face broke out into a huge smile and tears came to her eyes. Speaking a fast Russian, that most people would not understand she said, "Dimitri! I am Lena! I have come from Russia with a letter from your Mother! I am so happy I found you, everyone here speaks, English and I do not!"
Lena pulls out a letter, not open, but with the look of it has been handled allot. It had. It had been Lena's life line until she found her husband. Now she had.

Of course, Dimitri was able to understand Lena's fast-Russian, though he was more of a slow-Russian himself. He could speak faster if he wanted to, but Dr. Karloff did not like to be rushed.
Lena's words, however, confused Dimitri. Lena? She spoke as if he should already know who she was. Suddenly, Dimitri was embarrassed, thinking that perhaps Lena was a cousin or niece of his that he somehow didn't recognize (though, he was almost certain that he did not have a young relative named Lena. . .) Then where did this woman come from and why? Well, since she was offering a letter, Dimitri assumed the answer would be in there.
--Boy was it ever.
Dear Son, Your Mother is getting old. She has lived her years in wondrous adventure as your Mother. Now she wants Grandchildren. I have waited and waited, and my heart pines for them. But my son dose not know his duty. He will never give his Mother what she wants. I am sending you a wife. Marry her, give her children. Tell my brother he is next if he moves as slow as my son! I love you my son. Enjoy your wife. Your Mother.
Dimitri stared at the letter, blinked a few times. . .and promptly fainted.

Oh! Lena thought as he fainted. What a girl things to do. Her husband would grow out of this fast. She moved over and sat beside him as people came up to her and spoke in works she did not know. She waited with him when the moved him to a bed and she stood there waiting for him to wake up. "Deema!" She would call to him randomly to see if he was awake yet.
