Felix's eyes light up "Chocolate milk sounds nice."

"Oh Eggnog!" another young looking worker responded, the synth player of the group.

Joanna chuckled. "Alrighty coming right up!" She hummed turning around pouring the drinks. "CHocolate milk- here you are. And eggnog! Here you go."

"I'll stick with water, loaded up on soda at the studio." Tempest told Jo "And thanks again for what you did for us."

"It's no big deal, just glad I was able to help." She smiled leaning on the counter.

"What time does usually close?" Temp asked "We closed up a bit early to visit you today."

"Oh- you didn't have to. We're open way past midnight. But I head home at midnight." She nodded wiping down the counter.

"Ah good to know." Temp took a sip of water and put the glass back down "Well we needed a shorter day anyway. I don't think any of my employees are gonna complain. They get paid just the same."

"Well lucky them, must be nice." She chuckled turning around pouring another glass for one of the other customers. "Oh! Tempest- you need to meet John."

"Alrighty let's meet this John fellow then." Tempest responded, his tail swished behind himself

"Hey- John you busy?" She called over her shoulder grabbing herself a glass of water.

John had peeked his head from the back, back from dropping by dirty cups to the back "Work load's pretty light right now. Why?"

"Come meet Tempest. The one I told you about." She smiled waving him over.

John walks out and looks over the gathered group "Oh wow…"

"Don't worry- they're nice." She smiled taking his hand.

They introduced themselves to Jonathan and he gave a little smile "H-Hi there you all it's um nice to meet you all."

Joanna smiled at him and noted his nervousness. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze and a reassuring nod. "Hey it's cool they won't hurt you."

"And the cat likes pats." Lexi said poking Felix

"Lexi knock it off, but um yeah I do." The feline in question chuckles

John looks back to Joanna with a raised eyebrow

"There no stranger then you." She said ticking her finger.

He gave a soft sigh and slipped his hand from hers and patted Felix who purred "You're right…they are nice."

"I told you. Now you can go back to work, thanks babes." She smiled at him poking his nose.

Tempest gripped his glass a bit tighter at that but says nothing, managing a smile.

She turned back to Tempest with a smile. "Sorry he seemed nervous earlier so I thought I'd introduce him."

"It's alright. He seems like a nice guy." Temp tells her

"He is- just a little unsure. But I've known him for years, honestly just a coincidence that we both work here." She laughed leaning against the counter.

"Yeah." He gave a little chuckle "Glad you have some friends here…" he drained the rest of his glass.

"You alright?" She asked gently. He seemed irritated.

"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about it." He softened his expression and loosened the grip on the glass.

"I am though. Did I do something?" She asked reachibg over to take his hand.

"No you've done nothing wrong I-"

"He's just becoming attached again." Felix softly said

"Attached? Attached to what?" She asked softly.
