Ellen took a couple of swigs of the golden liquid, savoring the taste of more than a century old liquor. Ellen looked up when Daric blurted out a remark, to which she asked, "Excuse me?" looking up at the man. She rested her right elbow on the counter and her chin on her palm, and then looked up, continuing to take swigs from the bottle. Ellen read Daric's head shaking, assuming that he was referring to nothing. She turned back to her drink, but couldn't help but glance through the corner of her eye and see what antics Daric was currently doing to cause him to blurt out the remark.
