Ilya's bags are fairly light. After all, he has virtually no personal possessions besides clothes, a laptop and a few books in Russian. He tries not to look amazed as they walk through the mansion, but it's obvious that he is; he hasn't seen a place like this in person before and quite frankly it's hard to believe this is real. It's like one of the palaces of Moscow, but they're just walking through it like they belong here.
"I've never been in a place this big before," he admits, looking at the huge library in awe. The library is bigger than his old house was. Ilya looked around, almost afraid to touch something. All the books are in pristine condition. Everything is beautiful. "I'm not even sure what 'occult' means. I mean, I know people back home used it to talk about things that weren't Christian, but... Russia isn't a really religious place." How many words is he going to not know or find have other uses in Russian?
