This is a misstatement of the facts, I'm afraid. Young Elin was there for someone who turned out not to be on that flight. Therefore she turned her attention to some other bloke, since she was on that flight. Protest is about optics, and being as she was on that flight, she went ahead. Nothing wrong with that.
I just talked to her, and yes, she is interested in getting a drink to discuss the whole thing with me.
