105 Is she a trickster?

Alice kept smiling sweetly at the healer. The robed lady had no other option but to accept the drink. It would look rude to say no.

The healer took the cup in her hand hesitantly but did not take a sip. She only kept glancing at the watch wanting the hands of the clock to move faster than usual. Alice smiled at her and took a sip, eyeing the cup in the healer's hand, as if urging her to drink it.

She tried again "I think you should really taste the coffee. I am not that bad of a coffee-maker. Besides, as I told you, I felt like thanking you for everything and right now coffee is the best way of saying thank you for me."

The healer looked at Alice impassively, her keen eyes trying to make sense of the weird girl standing in front of her. Alice merrily turned her attention to the tray that the healer had got, humming a song to herself as she sipped her coffee.
