Myka wouldn't hold it against Anatoly if he couldn't help her. He was trying at least. And it wasn't like he needed to. They knew one another more because of Helena and Svetlana's friendship and that threw them into situations where they interacted. Yes, she generally liked the Josh Groban look a like, but that didn't mean he had any sort of obligation to talk this out with her. So if she had realized he felt he needed to help her, she would have been confused. Because truthfully, he didn't. Beyond worrying how Helena and Svetlana would react but again, it wasn't his responsibility. Still, it was helping to get be rid of the edge from all the stress by talking. Even if Anatoly could never truly understand about the Warehouse, it was still something.
Then again, he seemed to be able to make connections to things he knew, which probably helped him at least follow along. So all the more power to him with that. Because it kept the conversation going so that Myka didn't sit in silence too long and brood on what she had seen, relived. Not like she ever really stopped. It was why she didn't get much sleep. Because she didn't want to see the destruction of everything she loved, of Helena. She couldn't keep reliving that. Though the comment on his defecting was... well, oddly fitting. True she hadn't left for freedom.
"You were a moron for that. Just saying." Sipping her gin and tonic, Myka sighed, "I didn't even leave because I wanted freedom. I left because I betrayed them. I lied and the world was nearly destroyed because of it. I knew that I would never be happy anywhere else but... I put everyone's lives in danger...Because I refused to see I was being used..."
Funny how even though Helena used her, Myka still would do anything for her. Not that Anatoly would know what she meant. Well, okay, she hadn't heard Helena's rant where she confessed to the betrayal between the two of them so that Anatoly might actually figure out what she was referencing. But it had been hard to go back. To know Pete was hurting but not have him talk to her about it until his mind had started regressing and he had opened up about it, thinking she would leave him again and the guilt had been horrible as she had done the same thing everyone else did to him and hurt him. But they had made their peace with that right after at least.
"I should look into that..."
Because Myka needed to know how to protect Claudia and Helena and Emily. Oh she knew Claudia and Helena could defend themselves just fine, but it would be something to learn and well, Myka liked learning. Where everyone else didn't want to go to school, Myka had adored it. After all, she had been pre-med before being pre-law. But then Anatoly was mentioning trying to get a secret service job and she scoffed in annoyance.
"I tried a few times when I first showed up but no one was helpful with that. I don't even know if Secret Service would be beneficial here. I was promoted to Presidential detail before being transferred to the Warehouse.... but no one ever told me where I would best be of use and everything started getting worse here.... But maybe now that things are calm I can try to find some sort of job..."
She could always run a book store, that wasn't hard. It was in her family, but she wanted to help people. Protect them. But she did need to keep busy, that much was certain.
