Gorgon didn't have an arch-nemesis yet, but if Nikolai was ever asked if he had one, he'd probably say it was Mona. They had this whole thing down to a science way back when he was in high school. He'd duck in just a little too early for classes to be out in order to beat the crowd, she'd cuss him out because his future! and he'd cuss her out right back, mostly because he was a little shit who knew he could get away with it.
These days, he did less cussing back, though there were a new nasty words in Greek when another swat of the menu knocked his shades askew and he had to scramble to straighten them again before Mona could knock them clean off.
"Fell off a cliff! Fell off a cliff! Petey, do you hear this?"
"I hear it, Mo-"
"I wasn't finished yet! Off a cliff! He says it isn't his fault like he had no choice but to be on those rocks that day. Deje de ser tan pendejo, Nikolai!"
And this was about the point in the argument where Mona started cussing him out in Spanish. A few moments later, Nick started returning the favor in Greek. No, neither of them had the faintest idea what the other one was saying, but they could both guess, and this, too, was part of their routine.

Along with more menu-swatting.
