Action
[ Eric is drinking straight blood which is really the only thing he really can drink. He's tried adding whiskey to it and while it does add a smokey sort of flavor to it, he doesn't get drunk on it. The closest he can come to drunk at all is draining a drunk girl.
Any other time, Elena's news might elicit more of a reaction from Eric. However, at the moment, it simply causes him to arch one eyebrow up. ]
I've got a whole bar to make sure it eventually occurs.
[ Because for some reason it will make him feel better if Elena is sloppy drunk.]
