I'll come up with something better next time?

[Elena laughs.]

( Something does occur to her. )

Did you bring either of the bottles with you?

[braveandstupid]

Yes!

[She pops herself up to reach for the bottle she had brought with her, before taking a sip and raising it in a toasting gesture as she passes it over.]

To solidarity.
