'Relaxing' is something Ilde is terrible at, especially in company, but she's had a strange kind of evening and with or without beer (without, her inability to drink in moderation isn't made for deviousness) the notion of just taking a breath isn't such a bad one. If that breath happens to be full of nicotine, so much the better.

"I can't drown, I tried," she says, however, because that's the kind of (disturbing) pedantry that occasionally comes out of her mouth.
