"Little over an hour left before we pull in to Paris. From there we'll catch a quick lift down to the hotel Moderne Saint Germain."

Talking about what's ahead eases her muscles just a bit, makes it easier for her to say anything at all. Before, she'd even planned on trying to spit out the hotel's name with proper pronunciation (It was silly, but why the hell not?) but now she just puts it out there very matter-of-factly, with her own mostly-Australian accent leading the charge "and if you're up for it we'll take a walk down to the local bookstore. Just about five minutes away. Not too far."
