"Do we really want to travel into that territory, the stereotyping territory?" The grin shows he's teasing, but he isn't entirely sure she won't take it personally. "I've met scarce few Russians here. Mostly it's just been Americans."

Regardless, it's just as honest as the fondness when he talks about Theresa, although there's a stir of pain in his chest at that whole mess. And as much as he could say on the matter, you don't get to be a career terrorist with actual family if you give out information about them willy-nilly.
"She's grown now. Doesn't call, doesn't write, after all I've done for her. It's enough to give me a crisis of faith in the human condition."
