Olena shivered at the vague memory of Leshi and Baba Yaga, stories of forest and fay creatures that were as likely to lead a child to adventure and wonder as they were to murder and misery. If pressed, she would claim the chill of the air as the reason, inwardly chastising herself for indulging in thinking of folk tales at a time like this.
"She knows how to sneak in, look natural, and get out. Beyond that, I'm not exactly a talent agent," Olena breezily moved on from the conversation of Lyudmila... It was best she not look too interested. Best case scenario, if she couldn't pull strings in the background for her, maybe Mama would take her on long enough for the thief to sneak out? If that's how things were going to shake out, the Vixen couldn't look too interested... Especially where her mentor was involved.
Olena's eyes softened at the memory of one of her assessments, how she had managed to impress Mama with her marksmanship and got her interest with the reveal that she had a veteran father who had served in the War... There was always going to be that chilly dread at the mention of her name - she was a disciplinarian and a KGB officer - but the codename was apt. "Well, flaunt what you've got, right? Besides, if she's good enough, maybe she'll end up like you, Uranus." The redhead's eyes wrinkled at their edges as the impish smile spread across her features, teasing the eldest of the trio, both in words, demeanor, and the way she crossed one thick leg over the other.
