Bonfire: Thierry and Ellie
"Can't go throwin' names like Jack Daniels 'round without 'dere being a teacher ready to hear it, cher," Thierry replied, "So you gotta come up wit' more creative ways a'gettin' around 'dem." The choice for that student happened to be a pirate from a movie who had a thing for rum, not whiskey. But it was more about the name than it was about his poison of choice. He gave Ellie a smile wink and then waited for her to take a drink of her special cider.
As she drank, he watched and then he grinned. "See? Right amount a kick and plenty a'sweet. Guess you could say it a lot like you, non?" he smiled. Ellie may have been shy around others, but she did have some spirit in her. When it came out, it was fun to see. It showed a certain level of comfort in a way. That she wasn't afraid. He hoped to see more of that in her as time went by.
