MJ looks at the pint of whiskey in front of her. "Hmm, it's been a long time since i last had a drink, hasn't it, Reku?" she asks the giant cat. He just yawns and curls up closer to her feet. "Ah, well, it's Christmas," she says, lifting the glass. "To a good Christmas!" she toasts the air, then chugs her drink. Her insides become warmer as the liquor makes its way through her system. "I refuse to be locked up in a crazies place for Christmas," she mumbles, thinking of the virus test that told her she's level 2.

Ben shivered as he went into the pub, he was freezing his arse off with snow dusting every inch of him, his hair dripping from it almost the moment he entered the heat. Ben went up to the bar with a suspicious grin "I'll have a whiskey." he grinned and the bar tender just grinned at him, already knowing where this was going "I.D." he said
"Ah come on man I'm eighteen." he grinned and the bartender shook his head "I.D." he repeated and Ben just sighed knowing well he'd alreay lost
"Come on, I'm eighteen..." he grumbled one last time "Fine gimme a coffee." he sighed rolling his eyes and sipped the hot liquid with a sigh as he took a seat at the table next to MJ and looked at her cat with an odd expression. Man the pub must be desperate for custom if they were letting animals in now. Still it was a stunning creature, he wished he owned anything like it, his mother had a few chickens she used for eggs but that was it.

"Yo, i'm MJ," MJ says to the stranger. She sees his odd expression upon seeing Reku. "This is Reku," she adds. "He refuses to let me out of his sight. He nearly attacked the bartender when we were told he can't come in. So the bartender let him in. Reku can seriously rough up someone if he wants to." She grins. "I saw you were having trouble getting a drink. If ya want, i could get us each one."

Ben looked up in a bit of a surprise at MJ and shot her a slight smile "Ben." he nodded referring to himself and smiled at the cat "remind me not to piss you off" he smirked and when she offered to buy him a drink grinned widely at her "I can pay for it but cheers! I'm almost old enough but not for a few months." he shrugged rolling his eyes and then grinned "So what are you and yer kitty doin' sittin' around here on x-mas?"

MJ grins. "Just having a couple of drinks," she says. "Reku and i have always gone to bars on Christmas for a drink for as long as we've known each other. That's pretty much since Reku was born." Her smile turns a bit sad. The reason she started drinking on Christmas was to remember the day her real parents had been killed. But she's not about to let that slip. "I'll get us a couple of drinks," she says, standing up and heading for the bar. She pays for two more whiskeys. Returning to her table she stops by Ben's table to hand him a drink. "There ya go. So what about you? What you doing here on christmas?"

"Eh? that's um, nice." Ben shrugged and moved over to her table, albeit a little away from the cat not wanting to get mauled by it "Cheers lass!" He grinned and handed her the cost of it before taking a sip, wincing a little as it burnt the back of his throat "Eh that's good scotch they got there behind the bar there. silly bastard thinks I can't handle me drink ya know?" he grinned at her "Ah me, mothers passed out drunk and my brothers fuck knows where but doesn't matter ya know? I mean like for my family this is a good Christmas even though ye probably think it's a messed up state of affairs." he grinned his Scottish accent coming out thick in his voice
