"Yeah, sure," she says in response to both his requests. Jess diverts her search from the cupboards above the counter to the ones below, soon hitting upon a set of metal mixing bowls. She pulls them out to select a medium-sized one, puts them back and starts the sink running. The view through the window above it is odd and calming. Nothing but trees and the paths cut through them. Nowhere for a watcher to hide.
Once the bowl is full, she shuts off the faucet and moves Rocky's water to the floor. Since they haven't joined him on the couch, he hopped down from it and came to find them. His tail beats against her shins and his snout disappears into the water as soon as it's on the floor. And she thought she was an inelegant drinker.
In short order, she has two stranger glasses filled with her whiskey. Frank's glass is placed on the counter while she drinks from hers and idly checks the contents of one of the boxes. Dog food. She isn't sure where to put that. She drains her glass to half full in two gulps, leaving it with Frank's to help with the last of what's in the van.
"You stay here," she tells Rocky, who disobediently tails after her.
