Steph has barely touched her drink, it's a little too hard to remember things like that when she's focusing on not blowing her cover.
At the threat - and it's definitely a threat in Steph's opinion - she has to bite her tongue to stop from saying or doing anything incriminating. It hurts a little, but that helps her focus anyway and she keeps up the smile despite the momentary panic she's suffering from. This isn't what Steph is good at, and she suddenly feels so stupid for even trying; she should have left as soon as she was spotted.
She should get out now.
"You know what, nevermind," she smiles, keeping up the accent and light tone of voice, "I feel silly enough already, I wouldn't want to drag you into it."
Even as she speaks, as she smiles and tries to look normal, she's subtely checking the exists and sizing Irene up. She's not sure whether Irene will let her go, but Steph is ready to get the hell outta dodge if she has to.
