Arthur and Mikhail

"yeah.."

"Was that strong enough or no?" Mikhail asked before re-filling the man's cup.

"Got anything stronger?" asked Arthur quietly.

"Do you want the strongest?" Mikhail asked with a slight laugh.

"Sure.." said Arthur.

"Okay then," Mikhail filled his cup with the strongest they had and handed it back to him.

Arthur sipped it carefully, Grimacing at how sweet it was, but already feeling the effects seep in. Quickly he gulped more of it down, happy to let his sense of judgement slip away.

Mikhail chuckled then went back to cleaning the tables.

Arthur took a long drink, hating the taste but welcoming the fuzziness in his head.

Mikhail kept cleaning the tables.

Arthur sighed, Why am I doing this??? he thought. I never saw myself doing this back when I was a kid… he took another long drink, wanting the guilt he felt to leave.

Mikhail sighed in relief when he finished cleaning the tables and looked around, almost everyone has left by now.

Arthur finished the drink, still mostly sober.
(He's half wolf after all!)

(Cool)

"Still sober or no?" Mikhail asked the man.

"Still sober" said Arthur, quietly and clearly.

"Not even a bit tipsy?" Mikhail asked. That drink usually made people very tipsy or very drunk.

"I'm not most people…" said Arthur, softly,

"Neither am I," Mikhail replied. "Refill?"

"yeah.."

"Okay then." Mikhail took the cup, refilled it and gave it to the man again. "So, what's your name?"

"Why does it matter" replied Arthur softly before taking another drink, his cloak hadn't come off in the entire time he'd been there, and his face was still concealed.

"It doesn't. I was just curious," Mikhail muttered, not sure what to do now.

Arthur shrugged, Taking another long drink, "My name's Arthur if you really wanted to know…"

"Oh, okay then. I'm Mikhail," Mikhail answered. This guy always keeps surprising me…

"pleased to meet you" said Arthur cordially, still not making eye contact as he took another long drink.

"Same to you," Mikhail muttered. Everyone had left by now and only the staff were left.

Arthur finished his drink, "i can leave if you need me to" he said softly.

"It's your choice, I can wait for you." Mikhail quickly replied. The staff started getting ready to leave since they all had someone who was waiting for them.

"Fill it up please" he pushed the cup back to the bartender, still mostly sober.

Mikhail did as he was told and pushed the cup back to Arthur.
