"High school German courses? Fuck those. I grew up learning those four languages, and it was a bitch." Jess laughs.

"Oh, this and that. Mainly this." they reply, indicating the empty glass in front of them.

"I see." Oliver said nodding. He smiled and refilled the glass. "Do you have a preference on drink types?" he asked moshening to the wall of bottles behind him.

Jess sighs.

"As long as I don't wake up until yesterday, I'm fine with whatever."

Oliver smiles
"I can do that, but i don't think that's what you need." He said reaching under the counter and coming up with a black shaker. he pored three different bottles into it and a scoop of some sweet looking cream. "Are you curious yet?" HE asked as he began to shake it up.

Jess sighs softly.

"Well, it's kinda what I want, and sometimes that's the most important thing."

"About what? What you're making?" they ask.

Oliver nodded and pored the shake into an old 1950's dinner style glass and put a cherry on top. "That may be so, but not always." He set the class in front of her and smiled. "Maybe you'll find that that helps a little better then anything that would get you drunk."

Jess sighs, looking at the glass with some ammount of trepidation and confusion.

"What is it?"

"It's just a strawberry malt." He stuck a tiny but long spoon in it.
"Try it."

Jess pauses, then sighs, then looks confused as they try to remember the English word for "okay, fine."

Eventually they settle on Japanese and start eating.

Oliver watched as she ate. Refilling his own glass with the whisky as he did so.
"well? do you like it?"

Jess shrugs slightly.

"It's okay, I suppose. But I still want to wake up yesterday."

He shot the glass and set it down.
"That won't solve any of you problems."

"It'll keep them at bay, my friend." Jess replies, taking another bite of the malt.

"Sometimes keeping something at bay just gives it time to ferment." He poured another glass of whisky. "And that just makes thing worse."

Jess raises an eyebrow.

"Since when are you a psycologist or a philosopher?"

"Since i got tipsy." He said matter-of-factly. "Why?" Oliver shot his glass again, this time refilling both of the glasses. Not just his own.

Jess laughs.

"Fair enough! Give me another drink and we can contemplate the mysteries of the world together, hm?"

(fuck it I'm hopping in because I don't want to be forgotten XD)

lexie rolled over in her bed no longer able to sleep she laid there for about an hour still restless she huffed and got out of bed throwing on some clothes and headed out the door she started her walk down the street looking down at her phone she walked for about fifteen minutes before coming along a bar that seemed to still be open she sighed and said what the hell before crossing the street and pushing open the heavy door seeing that there were only two people in the bar relaxed her slightly but at the same time she didn't feel like saying anything so she just sat down at the bar on one of the stools without speaking

(Okay lol)

Jess turns their head to look at the newcomer.

"You just get out of a job, or you wake up in the mood for a drink?" they ask brightly.

lexie doesn't look up from her lap
"um… couldn't sleep haven't really ben able to lately so.. this helps"

Jess sighs, looking at Oliver.

"Whiskey for her, then."

"on the rocks," she adds looking up at oliver

Jess grins at the woman, then forgets any semblance of English and starts speaking German for a moment.

"Ehrlich gesagt habe ich nur eine Vermutung angenommen. Ich bin überrascht, dass ich Recht hatte." they say, before freezing and trying to correct theirself, mortified.

Lexi smiled a bit
"Es ist jedermanns Schlafmittel, denke ich, richtig?"

Jess pauses, then smiles brightly; the spell of forgetting any English had passed, but now they had a reason to talk in German.

"Du sprichst auch Deutsch?"
