[ An open person. A lot of them are, really, but mostly because they lived dull lives with no real secrets to keep. Aside from a handful, and Zarina, he knows, is one of them. Someone like her can't have led a dull life, no matter how hard she might try to paint herself to him as just someone trying to do their best, investigating wrongdoings and only sometimes succeeding. Or at least, that's how he's starting to take it.
No, she's open because she's naturally honest, but even the most honest people hide things. And his life has been spent finding those hidden things, that sense of privacy, and tearing them open. He'll get to the core of her eventually. It's not as if they don't have time.
As for the chance to ask a question ... he pauses, considers it, watching her from a still position not far from where she's sitting. He slips his camera away but keeps her recorder in his hand, still visible, and he's still considering turning it on just so she has a reminder that she agreed to chat with him, which she might regret in the future. Once he gets someone in his head, they generally never leave. ]
How about ... who's your favorite killer to deal with? I know we're all the nightmares that would haunt you if you could ever sleep, but some of them must make you sigh with relief instead of trying to find someplace to hide.
[ He knows she won't say him. He has a few suspicions of his own. But even if she doesn't have an answer, the way she responds will be enough information for him. Mostly this is just curiosity, but there's always a way to use information, no matter how useless it seems at first. Even the little things can turn out to be critical at the end of the day. ]
