A little blood presses her trouser-leg to the inside of her thigh just above the knee, and that would be what she was talking about when she said Ivan is a sleepy drunk.

"Copies," she says, smiling back, but leaves it at that as their drinks (and chips) arrive. Her Shirley Temple looks only slightly out of place with the pitcher of beer, and she pops a cherry in her mouth as the waiter sets everything down and excuses himself again, leaving them to it. In his wake, she adds to Remy, "I told you I gave copies to Ivan, too. He's upset about the blood."
'Upset'.
Then, to Erik, "It's everything that was there. They must've taken things when they left."
