Bjørn pauses before leaving his room upstairs, eyes trailing over to the launder hamper where he had dumped his coat. Carefully lifting the coat out, the hunter then hides the blood-stained jacket within the folds of the blanket he holds while making sure the precious gems are still hidden inside the inner coat pocket.
