[She says simply. Not unkindly, but more in the sense of a friend brushing aside anything that would threaten a pleasant time.
Trish follows Atem to the pool, then, watching him get comfortable. It's a little more effort on her part, but she takes off her own stylish boots before joining him at the water, dipping her feet in. She hasn't felt water on her bare skin in so long...and this is a facsimile, she knows, but it feels real enough she savors the sensation.
The ducks are a cute touch too, and she's of a middling opinion on them, usually, but right now? It's a nice addition to this perfectly idyllic picture.
At Atem's question, she tilts her head. First Sardinia, now "cervo"?]
You mean Doppio again, don't you? Unless you've managed to get close to his boss. I know you were looking into the two of them.
[Way back during the investigation of Steve's murder. She still has the deadman's switch he gave her, kept close to her laptop at all times.]
"Cervo" means deer in Italian. In Sardinia, there's a resort called Porto Cervo. I suppose it's possible Doppio has been there, since he worked for the mafia. It's a place attended only by the obscenely rich. I can't imagine his boss ever going there, anyway.
[Although she has no clue what Doppio would do in such a place. Be an embarrassment, maybe.]
