Alex, in contrast, had no qualms about sipping a firewhiskey at the bar. The regulars knew him well enough. He wasn't an alcoholic by any means, but he stopped in at the pub every other week to keep an ear out for gossip.
There wasn't really anything else he could do with his time when he wasn't working for the Malfoys. Listening to local news passed the day for him and offered a small amount of entertainment.
He didn't fail to notice Yuki come in, but he didn't take too great an interest in her.
"Cold?" he wondered mildly, tapping a finger on the bar and gesturing to the barkeep that he'd like a glass of water.
