"Come on you guys can give me some!" Augie was in the Lackadaisy Speakeasy, all the way down in the limestone caves below his new "mothers" cafe, standing atop the bar and looking up at the grey cat currently hanging around the Not-open bar's liquor supply casually.
"Sorry lil buddy, Ms. Mitzy was very clear on this."
Rocky shook his head in mock tragedy as he spoke to Augie. The little human was still new around here but Ms. Mitzy apparently wanted him kept safe so...
"No giving you any liquor until you're at least 18."
"Oh come on!" The still 12 year old Augie stomped a foot as he got more and more annoyed. "Whats the point of being kidnapped by gangsters if you can't even do anything illegal when your with them!"
"Ehh... I'm pretty sure you have to have parents who actually want you to be kidnapped."
"Seconded" Ike O'Malley, one of a few human's working at the speakeasy, noted from the shelf he was standing on...while drinking a glass of that very liquor that Augie was asking for.
"Oh and he'd know all about parent's who don't want you" Rocky gestured knowingly to Ike.
Ike says nothing in response but does down his whiskey rather quickly before refilling the glass.
"Well excuse me for having a dead mother and a deadbeat dad, clearly this means anyone who finds me should be allowed to do whatever they like with me" Augie crossed his arms. "Like keep me in a house against my will and make me wear monkeysuits so she can pretend she's my mother"
"That's kinda mean to Ms. Mitzy, Augie. She's just trying to help you. Trust me you'll learn to like having a roof over your head and someone who cares about you"
"Thats the thing, no one should care about me! Thats not how this works! I'm supposed to have to be self-sufficient! And eventually she'll get bored and throw me out again and if I've stopped being self sufficient by then I'll end up dead. Mark my words this is gonna fuck me in the long run"
"Language, Augie, I mean jeez your like 11."
"12 and a half!"
"The Point still stands. Besides Ms. Mitzy's not gonna throw you out"
