Well, why the hell not? There was a reason so many people drank to excess. They had pain that they needed to escape.
She had awoken from a nightmare -
- Professor Holland ... please, don't ...
Oh, Maureen. Poor sweet thing ...
We must look at our professors when they speak to us! -
- and there was simply no way she would be able to sleep anymore. It was late, and dark, and nothing made the memories go away.
For a moment, she entertained the notion of going off-campus, to the Underground. She would find Fin and he would give her one tiny glass of brandy ... but it wouldn't be enough.
Maybe he wouldn't even give her that. Not after she'd proven herself so vulnerable, so unreliable.
Luka. Didn't he do this sort of thing? Wasn't that what people said? Wasn't there ...
And that was how she found herself out on the grounds in the dead of night, purse full of cash, hand trembling as she lifted it to knock on the door of the abandoned toolshed.

Luka's 'business' had steadily been blooming. He had his people verbally sharing information, that was only, mostly reliable. He had three 'shops', this toolshed where he was currently brewing his latest and greatest whiskey, the abandoned boys bathroom where the was somehow able to make the world's best beetroot vodka and white lion's wine, and the cellar where he manufactured the largest quantity of his beer. He was in the midst of beginning the second fermentation of his latest bath, humming to himself as he did so when he got a knock. It sounded tentative and Luka put on his warmest smile - the character something between his true self and Luka. A sort of sweet, perceptive dunce. He opened the door and leaned gently outside, the warmth of his brewery gusting out to greet the red head with him. "Good evening, lady," he said, sizing her up in the privacy of his mind. Tired. Restless. New to this ordeal. Beautiful. His favourite sort of client. "If you are lost the school iz just... over hill."He kept his acent thick, though he truly knew how to articulate, he wouldn't reveal that until absolutely sure this was a trustworthy client though.

The door opened, and Maureen found herself looking up at a tall, slim boy with a sharp face. For a brief moment, she wondered if this was really a wise choice ... after all, she'd never consumed alcohol with anybody who wasn't her brother, and she didn't exactly know this person. She swallowed hard, willing herself not to turn and run away. She wanted to do this - to drink, and more than just a single tiny glass of brandy.
Well, at least he wasn't looking at her with pity. That was a refreshing change.
She cleared her throat. "Um ... no. I think I'm in the right place. I want to ... to buy some of ... what you make. You're Luka, correct? I'm Maureen."
She could do this. She could absolutely do this. She wasn't nervous at all.
Not a bit.
