[PROMPT] Mixology 101

"So, I've heard ya wanted some help learning to make drinks?"

For some reason, Despite coming here for this exact reason , Ignition is startled by the sound of another voice. He had been loitering around the back of the bar, he comes to the rabbit hole often and the wonderland casino moderately when he isn't performing. He plays of the start she had given him as him just...casssuaallllyy noticing her and turns a little.

Hops, the ever-popular bartender who absolutely was totally not here to pay off a debt.

He watches her gather a bunch of things, and a strange pouch that he is far too concerned about to even mention. As she places items down she looks over at him with a lopsided smile "I've seen you in here before. Any reason why you're on this side of the bar today? Didn't get into any trouble didya?" She's only teasing with the last part, he can tell by her tone. He shrugged a little, hands finding his pockets comfortably.

"Just curious"

In honesty, He liked learning things. He doesn't show it but with enough practice he can take in information and slowly learn how to do something to a point that he can do it without even needing to think much. He wants to be able to do that with as many things as he can. It began with confectionary, Some mild imp pet care and now here he was with drink mixing. His flames made a small glow around the area, It was dimly lit in here so it helped somewhat.

"Okay, Whaddya wanna make? I have to warn you i wont show you my secrets, But i CAN help ya make a drink if you have one specifically on the mind" She hums contently as she steps back, Station prepped for mixing.

"So...If i wanted. I could make a Dracquiri?" He asked, trying hard and failing to conceal his excitement.

"Dracquiri it is! So all the ingredients for that are in THIS pile here" Hops points to the left-most pile of semi-organised ingredients and beams.

Taking an empty glass, Ignition notices that as he steps forward, Hops has put up a clear instruction-based guide on how to make the drink, so if he wanted to read along or skip ahead, he could!

"Okay, First things first, You gotta take this much alcohol and ice it up in that there shaker-" Hops plops the silver cylinder in front of Ignition and he slides it open with a firm twist. The alcohol and Ice are put inside and he gets to shaking as hard as possible. With a few firm but smooth pointers from Hops, He ends up mixing the drink incredibly well.

While his back is turned, She pops her secret ingredient into the mix to make sure it ends up tasting right, or almost right depending on how well Ignition did.

Theres nothing here he could burn, so thankfully it looks like the drink has turned out fairly decent.

"Moment of truth!" Hops exclaims, eyes flicking between Ignition and his finished drink. He sighs and slowly sips it, Preparing for some horrible outcome or smack of sour.

Nothing of the sort came, He frowns as he tries to decipher the taste in his mouth. "It tastes right its just,, Less sweet than usual and not as icy. So, Maybe more ice, Less hard shaking and a little sugar and strawberry extra?"

Hops claps with a smile "You've got it! Not bad for a first try, AND you know what and where things went wrong, So next time you can fix it. You know, If the whole singing thing ever gets dull...Bartendings always open!~"

He scoffs and waves her off, Crossing his arms as his cheeks begin to darken with embarrassment "Yeah yeah, Whatever"
