"'S not stupid," Alex told him around a yawn. "Takes a while for your body to remember that it works nights now. Took me a couple weeks to get the hang of it. And if I'm not in my workshop, chances are I'm here. I was just making a lazy day of it today."
He blinked at the question, then remembered he had in fact offered to read Victor's cards for him. Which wasn't a surprise, he offered to read them for pretty much everyone. It was more fun doing it for Cirque employees, their futures tended to be much more interesting than your typical human. "Yeah, of course," he answered. "Give me a sec to get more fully awake, then yeah, absolutely."
"Toddies, hmm?" he asked, smiling at the idea. "Mum used to make those in the winter, or when I was sick. Heavy on the honey and lighter on the whisky, but she is Scottish, so perhaps her idea of lighter was different than other people's. They definitely helped me sleep, at any rate." He let out a quiet chuckle. His mum definitely had her own way of doing things, and Alex had adapted some of them into his daily life.
"Excellent, I'm terrible at remembering to do dishes, so good on you for being prepared. Have a seat anywhere, I'll go and get my cards. It'll just be a minute."
