It definitely seems like an odd gap. Then again, Irina and Elluka seem to be masters of procrastination (tests a sword in EC 477 to make sure it works; waits several years before meeting with Prim so she could use it).

I thought that perhaps she might've been playing dead but that kind of falls flat when you spend an entire fight not getting stabbed in the first place.. Unless it somehow has something to do with her experiments on Ney and her creation of the Espionage Task Force.
