I followed, exchanging another worried look with Ariston as I did.

She reached for a glass of wine, her hand trembling slightly as she brought it to her lips. She downed it quickly, then grabbed another glass just as she placed the empty one back on the table.
"Aelin," I said softly, placing a hand on her arm. "What's wrong? Talk to me."
She shook her head, avoiding my gaze. "I'm fine," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "Just tired." She was about to down the second glass when I stopped her by grabbing her wrist.
"If you're tired, why are you drinking?" I didn't want to hurt her, so I kept my grip light, it was only strong enough to stop her from drinking, but even then she winced and I immediately let her go.
