Being the trained observer that she was Irina took note of how he came closer but not enough to invade her personal space. He's smart she thought and her head tilted to the side as he explained that he could in fact help her. Irina had known it would come down to willingly being given answers or having to coax it out of whoever she came upon. The part of her that was still on edge from what she'd recently gone to had hoped for a fight of some kind. It would have given her some much needed amusement that she hadn't gotten in quite some time. When the man in front of her mentioned that it would sound insane she raised an eyebrow. Rambaldi's prophecies had seemed insane once upon a time but then they had slowly become an obsession. It had been what kept her going in life for awhile and then a lifelong goal to see his endgame revealed; until it had meant the death of one of her daughters.
When he reaffirmed what she had read on the newspaper, Irina gave him an incredulous stare. She wouldn't be taken for a fool and there was no logical explanation for her to have been in Svogda one minute and in Lawrence, Kansas the next. And while she had hallucinated once or twice before it had never been this elaborate. Little by little her incredulous stare turned back to the unamused confused one she had from before. "I don't know who you are or what your agenda is but that is not possible."
Releasing the safety on her rifle she pulled it around to the front of her body. "Now, would you please explain in full detail what is going on and quit treating me like a fool." Elena had done quite a number on her and just when she felt she was free to recoup this happened. It all felt too suspicious and rarely had her gut feeling done her wrong.
