"Da, of course," David said, and he nodded too. "Please."
He smiled at the young woman, briefly and warmly.
She looked terribly young and delicate, pretty in a fragile way, pale ivory skin and finely drawn features framed by shockingly red hair. Her body language seemed almost defensive, though, and he couldn't quite read her expression. He wondered if they'd sent her in to act shy on purpose, to get him to drop his guard.
"If you can help, I'd be grateful," he told her anyway, letting himself relax against the headboard again, as if her offer of assistance had put him more at ease.
David glanced at Rakitin, whose lips were pressed together in a non-committal line.
"Lieutenant Rakitin and I were just discussing how we can go about finding out who I am."
He paused, and raised his brows, looking at the woman again. He kept his gaze direct, and searching, though he tempered it with another smile.
"But first - I apologize, I didn't get your name?"
