Okay, I don't have any answers, just observations. There are many Q phrases rolling around in my head waiting for explanation and this is the main one right now. I know there are posts every day wondering if they've cracked the mystery but they always seem to be too much of an ambiguous stretch. So what if it was never meant to be cryptic. I think of all the weird water drinking moments Trump has had and how clearly exaggerated his actions were: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1ZIq-IL7Jw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Pe1QmuYUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTqTFnzkaJU
Isn't it quite possible that these were all meant to convey something and either we just missed it or I just didn't get the memo?
I'm not sure either way about Pence. You're right though, the synchronized water bottle movements seemed to indicate a shared mindset, and Trump's speech on Jan6 where he said (regarding Pence) "doing the wrong thing might take more courage" could validate your line of thinking.
