Ian had just bitten into one of the biscuits and was in the midst of taking a swallow of his juice when he heard a female voice address him. He panicked, trying to decide if he needed to swallow or breathe and so he did both at the same time. The predictable action occurred as he got the biscuit lodged in his throat and some of the juice down his trachea and he began to cough uncontrollably. He stood up, grasped at his throat and looked around wildly trying to catch his breath or dislodge the biscuit. Right now he didn't care which one happened first.
