Oh, darn. Thanks for pointing that out. *is ashamed* I did originally intend swilled, except I changed something in the sentence later on, so that now it doesn't work. Alas I failed to notice.

I'm very pleased you liked it. I do get a feeling of UST from the two of them in canon-- there's something flirtatious in the way they interact, although obviously there's something much darker going on underneath.
