Transcript

Panel 1: A large panel of Elena's figure that takes up the full vertical space of the page. She claps her hands together, as if to close to subject. Her heart-shaped smile is bright and wide. She says, "Well! Let’s celebrate you finally having your first drink, after-- what? Two months of working here?"

Panel 2: Daniel pauses before taking the final sip of his drink to sheepishly agree, "Close. Seven weeks."

Panel 3: Elena faces Daniel as she asks, "So what made you finally decide to have a drink today?" Daniel has on his usual, forced smile as he answers weakly, "Oh, it’s… a long story."

Panel 4: A close-up of Elena's eyes, glinting. She replies, "Kiddo. I’m a bartender. I LOVE stories."

If Daniel has a wall around him, then it's a good thing Elena is here with a sledgehammer.

In case you missed it last time... 

I  discovered I can give fun little badges to registered commenters!! I'm using it as a small token of my appreciation to the folks who leave a lot of comments.

A screenshot of a Hyvor Talk user console showing two users have been given the badges "Protect Denver Leary Club President" and "Daniel's Facial Expressions #1 Appreciator"

Unfortunately, I can't give badges to guests. :( So if you'd like a badge, I'd encourage you to register as a user here! Please know I cannot see any email addresses of the users who register on the Keeping Time site; Hyvor Talk takes your privacy very seriously. More on that here.

Please, let me badge you!! 

Also, it's the start of the month, so if you have some spare time, please consider voting for Keeping Time over on Top Webcomic! It's an old school but reliable way to get new eyes on Keeping Time.

Next week, we'll be back with the boys of Tennyson... wonder how that's gonna go...
