But it's only a moment before she looks down again, removing the clip from her gun and emptying it. The process doesn't take very long - she's used to having to do this by now, as she's definitely not going to use her own live ammunition for this.

When she's done, she slams the clip back in the gun (not particularly quietly), and then looks up expectantly, as though Ben had been the reason for the delay.
