Anthony writes down everything Kijani says, never taking his eyes off of her. In response to her question, he taps the pen against he chin thoughtfully, then says, "I suppose that's good enough for today. I suggest you get some sleep now." As he mentions sleep, he motions to the couch in the adjoining living room.
