Quickly her expression shifted to one more friendly and apologetic. "Apologies. I didn't realize you had a guest." She gestured to Eli over her shoulder with an open palm. "Maybe another day." She glanced up, peering around, then at Eli again as if judging the lighting before shaking her head and limping back out again.
She was grateful to escape the stench of alcohol.
