Right after Liz made her speech, Elijah was the one who gawked at her most, which made for the third time that he had been rendered speechless by this woman in one day.
Even though Liz was in front of him, she saw the security guard glance at him with puzzlement on his face, which made her understand the situation, look down, and stamp hard on his foot that was right behind hers.
"Ow!"
As the kid clenched his foot that had just been mashed by Liz's heel, Liz innocently said, "Sorry about him. He's new today, so he's still being shown the ropes."
'Is that show you're supposed to be showing the ropes?'
The guard looked like he might ask this, but seeing Liz's honest smile, he decided that all this was above his paygrade.
All he did was take her badge, verify her identity from Happle, and push forward her request to the First Lady.
