Voyevoda nodded slightly in agreement. Volgin certainly could be agreeable when he wanted to, but The Boss suspected she was getting special treatment because of her title and status as a 'legendary' soldier.
"That sounds wonderful."
But that storm she had seen briefly in his eyes, dangerous, intriguing, a tiny promise of electrical fury. She would have to be on guard against him. There was no doubt in her mind that if it came to blows, she would come out on top, but that did not mean she could get careless around someone as dangerous and volatile as the Colonel.
She turned her head to regard snake, and out of the corner of her eye caught a face that for a brief instant seemed... a flash of spinning metal drew her attention away from the face. A makarov, being spun by a soldier in crimson and black. Major Ocelot himself, she would have to speak with him alone, though no doubt he was still angry at her.
But it looked like Adamska was studying Snake. How interesting, maybe the Major would oblige Snake with the rematch he desired... The Joy could almost see the complex gears turning inside Ocelot's head, and she had to resist the urge to smile at him.
The Boss reluctantly returned her attention to the matter at hand. "I suppose that's all for now." Volgin would probably want to speak with her alone later, without Jack as an audience. Likely to discuss the Shagohod, the safety of the Legacy, or what part the Cobras would play in the grand scheme of things. "However, I would like to know more about the base itself, and what goes on in each of the areas."
Perhaps the presence she had felt was merely Ocelot all along. Even if it had felt like The Sorrow. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking on her part. The Joy knew that The Sorrow could talk to the dead while he was alive... but there was no reason to believe that he could communicate with the living from beyond the grave.
