"The bathroom." She's glad these are straightforward questions that she can answer, that she doesn't have to fend off any accusations just yet. "One of my security team was doing a sweep before letting me in to get ready for the day."

"And when had you last been in there?" She realizes it's a bit of an awkward question, considering the location of the needle, but she figures that's forgivable under the circumstances. It's not like she's going to ask for details on what Nora had been doing. She's just trying to establish a timeline.

An aide in the adjoining room hears the question and calls out what he thinks is an appropriate answer, that Nora hadn't been in there since the previous evening, but she simply dead-eyes him until he shuts up. It's far too simple to uncover the accuracy of such a piece of information, there's no point lying about it, and lying isn't in her nature anyway.

"I woke up to use the facilities around 4am - though I'd appreciate you skimming over any detail there," she says with a wry smile.

"Unless you used the facilities for your secret bathroom virology experiments, I doubt details will be necessary for my article." And all things considered, she'd be very surprised if that were the case. Even if Nora were doing some supervillain mastermind virus plan, Georgia has enough faith in her that she's sure she wouldn't have left such obvious evidence.

"Was anything out of the ordinary at the time?"

"I honestly couldn't tell you." She knows she should be on alert, and most of the time she is, but when she stumbles out of bed to take a leak in the small hours, the only thing on her mind is getting back into bed. "Nothing noticeable, at any rate."
