Schulz Pub, Sevastopol

Postby Natalya Romanov » Tue Nov 15, 2016 9:57 pm

At a pub in Sevastopol, a rather severe looking woman is slowly circling a drink stirrer in a glass that mostly seems to contain vodka and little else. Her steely eyes are slowly moving across the room, looking for something or someone.

A woman, draped in a coat with an apparently atrophied arm in a sling, pushes her ways into the pub. She looks around the room, eyes finally lighting on the severe woman and beginning to make her way over.

"<You're not quite who I was expecting,>" the woman says in Russian, narrowing her eyes at the other approaching.

"<You were expecting someone,>" Tatyana says with a bemused eyebrow raise as she stands next to the seat opposite the other woman. "<One would think you've become good at dealing with the unexpected.>"

"<I'm on injured leave...>" She gestures to the arm, "<So it's not so tight at the moment. So they don't know I'm here.>"

Tatyana laughs and sits down, motioning for a drink, "<She was retaliating for a misguided mission, one that was executed, poorly I might add, by...>" She looks around the room, "<227A targeting 227B.>"

Tatyana shrugs, "<Do what you want, but you know the organization will retrieve her or destroy her. And next time they try, it won't be Svetlana running the operation. It will be someone more competent.>"

"<History repeats,>" she says flatly, emotion not showing in her face.

Her free hand however is tightly gripping the wood of the table edge, making a bit of a dent.

The woman lets out a long breath and lets go of the table edge, the clear impression of her fingers in the polished wood.

After Tatyana is gone, she finally takes a sip of her drink.
