The woman offered a gloved hand in response to the gesture. It was grasped in a firm yet gentle grip, as if the man was afraid of damaging something delicate. Gazing straight into eyes whose color matched her own, she gave another alluring smile as she proceeded to introduce herself.

"Tanya. Tanya Smithson," she replied politely, placing her hands in her coat’s pockets. "And yes, the scenery is beautiful," she continued, casting her eyes at their snow-clad surroundings. "I'm glad you're not put off by the cold, for it really is a delightful season," she concluded, returning her piercing gaze upon the man’s face.

"Oh no, not at all," the man replied, sounding somewhat lost in thought to the CIA operative. It gave her the impression that the man was lost in her eyes, prompting a contented smile.

Casting her eyes downwards, Tanya proceeded to rub her arms about her waist, shuddering slightly as she attempted to warm herself up. "Well, better get moving if we're to stay warm. Care to join me for a stroll?" she inquired, an inviting expression residing in her eyes.
