[ @m-knightblogging's Marc from here.]
So ... was that a complete miss or a subtle 'no thanks'? Thera studies him a moment with a look that says she suspects the former, a mild edge of 'are you daft?' that only lasts a moment. The 'whatever' thought that follows isn't fussed, shows only in a small movement of one shoulder as she goes back to her drink. Like the subject of Hanukkah itself, she has no reason to push about it.
"Dunno how you can handle that beer," Subject change, and teasing - she's a cider girl herself, as evidenced by the green bottle in her hand, plus giving each other casual shit is a way of communicating without getting too deep (which for Marc is like ... anything lower than a puddle). "Gotta be an acquired taste, right?"
