“How did you know that Trino and Martin were disagreeing on what to do with the Mexicans, princess?” Ivan asked.

“It just popped in my head. That’s how it works for me. Trino was thinking about it, probably trying to decide if he should bring it up or not. Given his reaction, I think he’d decided to not bring it up,” she said.

“His guys think she’s a witch now, too,” I said, laughing.
