Cowering in fear, as always

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

[Last time Nicole checked, she was cowering under a tree in Dolinovodno, when Ocelot showed up.

But now there are no trees around her anymore as she found herself in an unknown building.]

Wh-Where am I?

[She's still shaking though. She doesn't see Snake anywhere and that soldier is the only source of protection she has.]



(( ooc: I was thinking about this ALL DAY LONG. Have a female!Sokolov <3 ))

I don't really care. There was nothing for me back in my world. The Nexus gives me a chance to maybe see Yevgheny again.

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

Nothing back there? Well, that's kind of sad Mr. Raidenovich.

[It's weird to think you are 'alone' in the world. She just can't imagine her life like that.]

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[He "tsk"ed.]

I don't want pity from you, Doctor.

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

Well, 'sorry' for trying to sympathize with you.

[That man was just unbearable. She doesn't even know why she's still talking to him.]

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Thaaat's Raikov for you!]

I don't need sympathy.

[He still looked somewhat sad though, this encounter wasn't going at all like he had wanted. He wasn't supposed to be the one overtaken by her.]

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

Alright. But I have one last question Mr. Raidenovich.

I don't want to be invasive but, have you always been that... Rude, or did your commender turned you into such a man?

[For some reason, she wants to go to the 'root' of all that. She knows that if she bothers him too much he's going to shoot her, but she can't help but be slightly fascinated by that whole scenario.]

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

Rude?

[Raikov raises an eyebrow and smirks, seeing what she was getting at.]

If you're looking for some wayward soul to help, you won't find one here.

[He frowned]

And Yevgheny didn't make me anything I wasn't before.

I finally answered O=

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

I'm not trying to 'help' you. I'm just trying to understand you. You have a fascinating mind Mr. Raidenovich. I just wished you weren't so hard to talk to.

[Nicole was being totally honest. At the same time she was bothered by Railov, she wanted to know how his mind worked.]

Woah

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[He shoots her a look.]

...But why?

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

I admit that I don't really know myself. Maybe I'm just trying to get information that'll help me on the 'real world', if I'm ever going back to it.

[After all, if she gets caught by Volgin, somehow, knowing more about Raikov could give her an 'edge', so she'll use this opportunity to do so.]

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow raise]

How many times do I have to tell you, you can't go back.

And how would knowing more about me help you in the real world anyway?

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

It might be so, but I have faith that I might back, somehow, someday. You should try having a little faith yourself.

[She smiles a little as she looks at him.]

How that'll help? You see, people always fear the unknown. As soon as you know what you are dealing with, the fear goes away.

[therealraikov.livejournal.com]

I don't need faith, I don't want to go back. I'm perfectly-

[Happy? Not really.]

-Content here. Just as much as back in my own world.

[shagahot.livejournal.com]

Very well Mr. Raidenovich. You shall do as you wish.

[She nods softly.]

Now, if you excuse me, I better take a look around this place. [She says as she turns to leave the main lobby and go to one one of the hallways.]
