DAY 3 (DAYTIME) ALFENDI & ELIZABETH
There we go.
[They're now out of earshot from anyone who might possibly listen in to their conversation. Alfendi smiles at Elizabeth, burying his hands into the long pockets of his white coat.]
It's actually incredibly simple. You want to find out if someone has left a room in the middle of the night, yes? What you do is that you take something, like a piece of hair or a needle, something thin and small, and you lodge it into the hinges or the space around a door. If the person leaves the room, the hair or needle, of course, falls down due to the movement, but it's so small that the person, hopefully, won't notice it.
[A simple tactic, but incredibly effective.]
That way, you can check later to see if the thing has been moved, and if it is, it's quite the nice clue to tell you that someone in that room has exited it during the night. We could do something similar to that, if we want to be especially sneaky here.

Of course, she blends in, but listens quite nicely. Humming to herself, nodding with the occasional 'uh huh'... she glances through the corner of her eyes to him. ]
Is there a way where we can dictate direction? Presumably, we're lodging - and you know, this includes you and I - with possible staff members. If we're put under, they'll be able to leave.
[ To her, she just having something fall down doesn't give her a thought on if the room was stepped into or exited from. ]
Best case scenario? They got one sick murder in and they're done... but I doubt that's the case.
[ But... this isn't a bad idea. ]
But... this is a good start.
