Ireena was shocked and yet surprised that she could still be surprised at such a time. These were her daughters, there was nothing that anyone could say to prove otherwise. Such conflicting feelings caused turmoil within. The woman listened and yet there was this whips of a voice telling her to go with them. Within the recesses of her mind, she almost wanted to go within the walls of the being who stole the life of her beloved. Watching and listening to Ismark swayed her from those thoughts and leased a sigh from soft lips. The man was the ultimate lush, but she loved him as family, none the less.<br/><br/>The mother of two looked at Teo in agreement with her about Strahd, "It is true, none come back alive, but are merely buying our time here until the inevitable?" What was she saying?! The argument was there, in her head, but for every thought, she had a counter. Naturally, a hand rubbed at the curve of her neck where Strahd left his mark. Perhaps it would be best to confront the inhuman being and see just what it was he truly desired.<br/><br/>"Regardless, we have to wait things out here until sun up," she uttered while covering up a yawn. Andrei had told her to rest earlier, but the adrenaline would not allow her to. Her lack of sleep and pure exhaustion seemed to rush her all at once. Sleep sounded so precious, but having her two baby girls here was far more precious. It was far from the reunion she had dreamed about, but the vision of her daughter in her dreams did their actual beauty no justice.<br/><br/>While lost in her thoughts, eyes grew heavy and nature took over. She dozed off and it was clear what her body needed, but it was a surprise that it did not last long. A familiar voice whispered in her mind. It was a deep and hypnotic tone that called to her. It pleaded and comforted all at once. While sitting in light sleep, soft lips moved with inaudible words whispered under her breath. By looks alone, she merely appeared on the cusp of waking up from a dream that she was not prepared to leave. The late-night, early hours of the morning were naturally inviting to her in this instance. Eyes seemed laden, but her mind was awake.
