Istvan looks up, then down again.

“I mean, yes, I was trained and hired specifically to murder her,” Zach says. “But can I help what I am? I’m like the guy in that Grosse Point Blank movie, where he has to kill Natalie Portman’s dad but then they have sex. You know? That’s what I’m supposed to be doing, not sitting in a room with you two while she’s out–whatever!”

“Elbaszta,” Istvan sighs.

Zach frowns at Istvan. Istvan frowns at Pál.

“Gin,” says Pál mildly, spreading a hand full of diamonds.
