Elias refocused on the voice of the person who was speaking to him.
"Sorry, Henry. What was it that you were asking?" He asked his best friend as he traced his finger on the rim of the whiskey glass in his hand.

He had never seen his friend like this, looking despondent and forlorn.
"Have you been living under a rock, Henry? Of course, they had a fight! It's all over the news!" Atlas Craft commented as he smacked Henry on the back of the head.
"Ow! That hurts, don't do that!" Henry exclaimed before turning his attention back to Elias, "Is that why you look so down?"
