[ learned from damon salvatore and practiced because elena's not exactly concerned about taking from under a bot's nose. it's one thing they aren't punished or held accountable for, and this is a special occasion.

she slides in across from him - not wanting to crowd him, and also because it's better to see him. her eyes linger on him a moment; she smiles, and then pours a healthy amount of liquor for the both of them.
she's quiet a moment and her lashes flutter. she had been paying attention to his other conversations, and their own. ]
