Lois 'accidentally' spills her drink

The first drink was delicious, Lois had to admit. But while one freebie was understandable, even as sincere as Trixie seemed, Lois was suspicious of the second one. Still, she didn't want to seem ungrateful, or draw any extra attention. Lois decided not to drink anymore, and as she sat the glass back down, 'accidentally' tipped it over. The pink and yellow liquid spilled over the bar, as patrons scooted back to avoid the mess and Trixie quickly grabbed a towel to soak it up. "Oh no," Trixie said, her tone shifting from the fear and anxiety she had previously, to one more gentle. "Lois, honey, you spilled your drink."

"It's fine," Lois said, waving off Trixie's concern. "I think I'm good for now anyway."

"Sweetie," Trixie said, still cleaning up. She certainly seemed less concerned than she did a minute ago. "Accidents happen, let me get everything cleaned up and we'll get you a new one."

Lois shook her head. "I don't need another one, Trixie. I actually need to go... mingle." Lois looked around the club again, investigating further as Trixie cleaned up the bar. Lois noticed cameras all over, along with the staff, bouncers, and security guards. There were a pair of stainless steel swinging doors with small windows that appeared to lead to a kitchen area, where bartenders and wait staff were constantly coming and going. There was also a winding hallway, blocked off by one burly guard who dissuaded anyone from taking it. Besides the safety exits, the only other possible hiding spot was a black door on the back wall. It was unattended, but closed and likely locked. A handful of tables and patrons surrounded it, but none of them seemed to notice.

Lois considered her options as the crowd milled about, and considered which one she should choose.

But then Lois noticed Trixie was done cleaning, and was sliding a replacement drink across the bar. "Here you go, it's on the house," Trixie said cheerfully. There was an odd look in her eyes, and her behavior was completely different.

"Two free drinks is plenty..." Lois said, having no intention of drinking anything else while she was investigating. Then she noticed the cup, it was white plastic decorated with pink hearts. Even stranger, there was a pink plastic lid with a spout at the top. The cup was decidedly infantile, but Trixie acted like it was perfectly normal as Lois stared at her in confusion. "Is that... a sippy cup?"

Trixie didn't answer the question, but still had that odd, faraway look in her eyes. "Guaranteed not to make a mess, perfect for you!" She smiled happily.

Lois looked at the cup, the bartender, then around the club again. This was certainly a strange solution, and she was unsure how to react.
