From the fridge, he pulled two new bottles and opened them quickly. Dov was closer, but Elias still went to Charlie first, trading the empty bottle for the full beer. "Do you have more here?" he asked Dov as neutrally as he'd asked the last question. He considered and then declined to kick Charlie under the table before he left -- as an unsubtle hint to point out that Dov had her at least.
When he traded the empty for the full with Dov, he finally took a seat at the table. Glancing first at the clock, then back to the kids, he decided that they had just a few more minutes before dinner began. If he could somehow manage to convince Dov and Charlie that they should learn more about each other -- and possibly delay Dov's leaving back to New York, then dinner would be almost a celebration.
It was a lot to hope for in 7 minutes and 24 seconds.
