No problem man, any time. I was a barrista for like five minutes a year back.
[Until his foster parents found out he'd been working a job on the side to earn his own money and that'd been very quickly pulled to a halt.]

A different drink? [Jasper just shrugs.] Nah man, there's not a lot of drinks out there that give both warmth and energy. Besides, I like sweet things, I've got a sweet tooth. [He also didn't need to mention that the high volumes of sugar helped to counteract the effects of his other vices.]

[seredresser]

[ Jean shrugs then at the explanation. He doesn't have much of a sweet tooth or at least he thinks that he doesn't since he never really was able to indulge in things like that. Maybe if he did he'd find out that he does have one after all. He doesn't think that's going to start just because his owner changed. ]

I drink water most of the time.

[Jasper just rolls his eyes to the heavens and shakes his head wryly.] Water has to be the most boring thing in the world... I legitimately don't think I even drink water. [He doesn't drink water, never by itself at least.] Its boring, right?

[seredresser]

It's healthy. [ Jean answers automatically, which isn't really an answer to the question that was asked but he finds maybe he doesn't really know how he feels about water. It's just how it always was. ]

I like it. Maybe I am boring.

Healthy... healthy... [He says the word with a rising wave of almost-hysteria.] Jean you're like twenty-something years old and you're worried about being healthy. [He shakes his head sadly, reaching out almost subconsciously, reaching out for Jean's shoulder and a mock sad expression on his features.] Who hurt you, man?
