Ilesha turned to start at the mall behind them. So close to the Kremlin - it almost seemed like blasphemy. But she supposed even the Ascendancy needed to shop right?
Ilesha nodded. "I can do some sight seeing. 6 sound good? I don't know what time they close."
She could look it up but right now it didn't matter. She didn't have anything else to do. She had a few more days in Moscow before she went back home, the rest of the time she'd figured she'd spend doing exactly that - seeing the sights.
Moscow as old country. It held all sorts of gems.

After Ilesha and Claire parted ways for the time, Ilesha wandered around Moscow. She first took the tour of the Kremlin and laughed slightly as the tour guide stumbled over the newest addition to the tour in place of her normal monologue... "The nec...." Pregnant pause as she stared at the missing necropolis and saw a horse glaring down at her. It was amusing watching the woman fumble. It was the best part of the tour.
She went to an old monastery and took it's tour. She wasn't religious by any standards and the cemetery was beautiful. Creepy but still a piece of art.
Ilesha walked down Nikolskaya street towards the Red Square. She stopped into the Baccarat mansion and found their tour to be the most interesting. The pieces of glass and crystal on display were exemplary. Ilesha could sit and stare at them for hours. She wished she could have touched them with earth, but she was afraid that would set off an alarm. There was so much she didn't understand about the earth that she was eager to see Claire again, even if it was just shopping - a task usually dreaded. But this, this is different. This was a way to meet a very specific goal - and to meet new people like her.
Ilesha stood outside the GUM and waited for Claire as she ran through several apps on her wallet picking up a few messages she'd missed while she it was on silent - she was on vacation - no one was supposed to disturb her.
