Martha caught the attention of the bartender just before he turned to get Eliot's drink, waving her cash in front of her. "His drinks are on me tonight." The bartender shrugged with a smirk, pouring Eliot his beer and taking Martha's money.
Martha turned her focus on her drinking companion with a small grin. "Evening Mr Intriguing," she raised her glass in an almost sardonic salute.
"Here's to surviving the latest crazy, everyone surviving actually," her grin widened a fraction. "And to say in person thank you for whatever you did to get that machine. Turns out it was really needed after all."
