Da: "Er du okay?

Da: "Slap af, jeg har lige, hvad du har brug for," svarede Nikolaj og gav hende en pille med et smil.
En: "Relax, I have just what you need," Nikolaj replied and handed her a pill with a smile.

Da: "Tag denne og drik lidt vand.
En: "Take this and drink some water."

Da: "Astrid tog imod pillen og drak.

Da: Efter få minutter begyndte hendes vejrtrækning at blive nemmere, og svimmelheden forsvandt.
