[ Ellie follows, chuckling, and brightens when Max puts on some music. The girl's got good taste, and since she's been exposed to Max's genres of choice before via gifted playlist, the sound is... relatively familiar, despite it being a new song for her. She bops along as they go, humming along as best she can, trying to focus on the music only and not... the reasons they'd decided to do this in the first place.
Max stops in front of a door and Ellie almost runs into her back. She takes a step back, though, still bouncing a bit to the beat, waiting for the way to be opened. Her friend seems to reconsider, though, which makes Ellie's expression flicker to confusion... briefly, and then they're off again. She chalks it up to simple indecision and heads along the hall next to Max as they find a tea room.
It isn't hard, since there's one on every floor. She grabs the door this time and yanks it open, flourishing a hand in a sort of gesture, sort of bow. ]
