"My parents are from London, but I was born on base in Argentina. My father's a Colonel, now. Enlisted after the absorption."
She looked away, into the distance. Having typically kept to herself, it was strange to be so freely talkative. "I'm only really ever there for holiday, Christmas and the like."
She was suddenly aware of the holiday decorations in the cafe. "Except for this Christmas, obviously."
That last was said a bit more forlorn than she'd intended. She was ready for a holiday, but with everything happening, she was more likely to see Mars than London anytime soon. Cafe Pushkin and Drayson were about the highlight of her week.
"So you went from Scotland Yard to Moscow? That's a big step."
She'd only been in Moscow.. a few weeks? Is that right? It seemed like yesterday that she was in Berlin. Truth be told, Torri wasn't too sure how she felt about her job in Moscow. If she felt anything.
