Ako had mentioned to Laini about the tabs. Thus, when Laini arrives today, she has a small purse-sized bag with her. It gets set on the top of the Bar, and she rapidly sorts through it. Yira, shekles, galliahs, omis, along with chinese dollars and USD $2 bills get stacked on the bartop as she does conversions on her PDA.

"Sixty-nine per, cross by the inflation rate of feathers in finland... and that should cover it, with a bit to spare. We're good?"

Apparently, as the money vanishes. Laini grins, and orders some sort of coffee drink, with enough flavors and sugar in it that the existance of coffee in the cup is debatable.


((OOC: Slowtime for early shift- night all!))

"That looks sinful," House says, tilting his head toward her drink. He has a milkshake in hand, and stirs it with the straw.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, it is. Though it rather defines on your definition of sin. It someplaces, I could get locked up and get a red letter painted on my chest for this." Laini nods sagely, then takes a sip. With a blissful sigh, she grins at House.

"Totally worth it, though."

Then the coffee is abandoned for a friendly, gentle pounce and hug. "And how have you been, Doctor Gregory?"

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

House smiled and accepts the hug, standing on both legs, and no cane in sight. "I met a woman here, who helped me with my leg. It's good as new." He demonstrated that he could stand on one foot, either side. The setbacks he'd had weren't important. "So I've been...never better. How are you?"

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Ooh." Laini bounces back down to her feet, giving House a look over. "That is new, then. And good. Certainly, quite positively on the good side." She laughs, giving him a quick kiss.

"Me? I've been keeping busy. Getting a few things planned, as a surprise for a friend of mine, here. He won't know what hit him."

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

"Oh, fun. I'm sure he'll love it." He gives her hand a gentle squeeze. "Seems we're both doing well."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Oh, he'll probably hate it at first." Laini grins at that. "But we'll see afterwards, specially if I'm careful to not get him killed."

"And- it certainly seems that we are. Toast, to that?" She grabs her cup of 'coffee'.

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

"You bet." House held his milkshake up triumphantly.

It felt good, to just relax and share a good natured conversation with an old friend. He'd been wound so tightly since his return to the bar, even as his leg settle down again. Talking to Laini, he could forget all the uncertainty he was dealing with in other areas of his life.

"To us."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

Laini is quite good at that. Chaos Spirit, and just overall bouncy. Too much, at times. But still. She grins, and clinks her coffee cup against his milkshake glass.

"To us, all around wonderful and extraordinary people. They should be in awe of our presence."

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

"You got that right." House grins. He hasn't felt this relaxed since coming back to the bar. "It's really good to see you."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"You as well." She chuckles, sipping her coffee.

"Aside from the awesome news of your leg getting all put together properly, what have you been up to? Tracking down strange new diseases, and putting the smackdown on them?"

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

"Something like that. Last case I worked, I just had a guy, rejected by the heart transplant committee because he was too old." House frowns to think of it, even now. "So I found him a heart, a woman who was brain dead after a car accident, and I had to figure out what was wrong with her organs. Of course the husband couldn't tell us the truth, and we wasted valuable time trying to save a dead woman's heart. Turns out she had gonorrhea, and I figured the guy would rather have an STD in his blood, than six feet of dirt on top of him."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"... I didn't know that sort of thing could be transfered that way." Her ears flatten. "But- well, better than the alternative, right? And that sort of thing is treatable... Or at least I'd hope." Laini's tail twitches as she frowns.

[ineedavicodin.livejournal.com]

"Well, it was in her blood stream, so when we gave him her heart, it was in his blood stream. Operation was a success, though. Old guy will have a few more years with his kid." House smiles, although beams might e more appropriate.

A man sits nearby, watching the bar. He glances her way and grins, a beautiful woman, indeed.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

Laini's ears twitch, and she glances his direction, and smiles. Beautiful?

Shapeshifter. She knows it.

[walker-cain.livejournal.com]

His grins widens a bit and he waves.

"Good day, madame."

His voice is slightly husky with an ancient accent that is blurred soemwhat by the intervening years. Depending on her age, she might recognize it as that of New Eden, from the Beginning.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

.... Laini's not that old. She lies about her age, but she is not that old.

"And good day to you as well." Bouncy, bright, and she knows too many languages to really have any accent unless she wishes. Laini grins, turning in her seat to face him.

"And what's someone like you doing in a place like this?"

[walker-cain.livejournal.com]

Well, one never knows, so one's narration sometimes likes to be prepared, just in case.

Beautiful and bouncy, nice.

"Getting a good drink and resting my feet, and pondering the beauty in my life."

There is that grin again.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Plenty of beauty, if you know where to look." Laini answers, lips twitching in a faint grin. "The Observation Windows for one- best light show all around, I've been told."

[walker-cain.livejournal.com]

His own grins grows a bit and he nods,

"True, and excellent scenery here."

Beat.

"Outside you know, with all the plants and lake..."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"And springtime right around the corner out there- or so I've heard." She sips her coffee demurely.

"I usually find my sights in here."

[walker-cain.livejournal.com]

(ooc: slowtime is suddenly striking... power outages are hitting every few minutes suddenly. I will be back as soon as I find out what is going on, otherwise, sporadic tagging.)

He grins.

"I admit of late to having found the sights in here much more appealing. Today for example is proving to have a great deal of beauty inBar."

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

((Slowtime is good- I have to crash soon anyways.))

"Well- so it is." Laini grins, with a wink. "Could just be a whim of the weather- tricky March Madness, you know."

[walker-cain.livejournal.com]

He chuckles.

"So what brings a beautiful woman like you into the Bar on a day like this?"

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Well, bringing in the cash to pay off my tab, for one." Laini motions to the sign.

"Then- they have good coffee here, for another. And usually they're quite good with the company here as well."
