[u]"Such a big change for someone like me. I feel as if I'm a completely different person."[/u] [i]Irina laughed to herself a little, sighing as her breath faded away into the freezing air.[/i] [u]"Always loved the winter months. Reminds me of Yharnam 'n Cainhurst. My home."[/u]

"Ah. I've never minded the winter months very much myself. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the cold, but when you grow up like I did, you learn to deal with it."

[u]"Heh. I love the cold, for some really weird reason. It reminds me of the place that kept me safe from the Healing Church, and the Executioners, least till they actually found a way to get there. Cainhurst, of course, was that place."[/u] [i]Irina had considered the Gothic-Victorian castle a home for almost ten years, as it had housed her while she was hunted by the Healing Church. It held a special place within her heart (alongside Athena, of course).[/i]

"'The Executioners'? They sound friendly..." [i]She takes another sip of her still damn near steaming hot drink[/i] "What'd you do after they found you?"

[u]"Long story. Pretty much retreated to here, it was...only one man. Daniel. He's...he's dead now."[/u] [i]Daniel had been the one that had made Irina a mute before she arrived at the Dojo by literally slicing and tearing out her tongue. Nasty business.[/i]

[i]Sensing the change in Irina when she talked about Daniel, Athena put 2 and 2 together.[/i] "I take it there's more to the 'Daniel part' of the story?"
