She tilts her head and sighs, "It does feel strange - and I... am not in any great hurry to be running counter against you, Natalia, truly. No. I... do not want it on my mind." She rubbed one of her cheeks, eyes closed, and spoke again, softly. "Tis a cold place."
She did not plan to make enemies out of allies, not again, not like this. She ate more of her food, chewing thoughtfully.
She kept it hidden, but the thought did stay on her mind long enough for her to speak.
"We are predators," she said softly. "I think we take the measure of each other, as befits each of our natures, for our natures have sustained us. understanding that instrument within is important and for people like us..." She paused long, looking at a wall sidelong for many long, silent moments.
When she looked back, her eyes were very bright and focused on Natalia and she gave a small smile, her tone soft, understated but clear, and she nodded a little for emphasis.
"It's unavoidable."
She tilted her head, resting her head on her left fist, looking towards the other sniper while she thoughtfully chewed.
"I would raise a toast to that, if I had the sense to bring something along to drink, honestly."
