No. Mum and Ms Frida say him pulling out a knife counts as threatening, but all he did was call his friend on it, so I honestly don't think it counts, sorry.
He said he was looking for Flint Manor. I asked why. He said a friend was staying here. I asked who. He deflected before saying Nadya was an old friend, that his name was Stan, and he knew her from University. So I asked him what diploma he was doing, and instead of correcting me to degree, he guessed "Law", and he didn't disagree with me again when I asked about criminal law terms instead of civil law. And then he said Иди ко мне to his knife, which summoned a woman, and they apparated away together.
*He shows David his notes. He's printed out screenshots of the video feed with timestamps, and he's written down who said what next to them, like a production storyboard.*
That's Comrade Scratchy. They're a matagot. I think maybe the Comrade scared him off? He pretty much stopped talking to me as soon as they showed up.
Okay. [He looks at Bolly's notes.] I think you're right the matagot scared them off. Him, at least.
They're trying to get to Nadya and they might use her family. Do not talk to strangers, okay? Nadya wasn't mugged, they hurt her. And they are very well armed. These two aren't smart, but they're not a joke, okay?
*Bolly huffs.* I know! "Get an adult immediately." And I know their faces now. But nervous strangers walk up to Flint Manor all the time. It's what Flint Manor is for. We can't go around assuming everyone that shows up is actually secretly Russian mobsters. Anyway, I think the lady one was the boss. She was very efficient. I think Stan was just a lookout.
They would have to be really stupid to go after Fluff. Grampa Mike and Aunt Chris would, um, do, uh, something legal? Yes. Very legal and not at all violent. Anyway: no strangers until vetted by an adult.
I wrote it all down!

That's helpful. Did Stan threaten you?

Well, yeah. pulling a knife is threatening. Legally. But I want to know what he said.

I think so too. But I think they're going try to use you or your brother or one of your cousins to get to Nadya.

Okay. But your cousins?

Right. Just remember that, okay?

And tell everyone else.
But we have photos now, so isn't that enough?

Yeah, just let adults deal with strangers, okay. [He's worried they might send others or use Polyjuice if they knew they're on to to them.]

...are there more of them?

[He hesitates. He doesn't want to scare Bolly. But...] Yes.
