Angela has settled into a confortable chair, ordered a glass of wine, and gotten out her sketch pad.

Tonight she is drawing hands, from memory, with long fingers and what appears to be a rubber band around one wrist.

It's nothing that can't be interrupted.

They're very nice hands, Booth notes, though he can't really critique the artist's style. The fact that they look like hands is the only way he knows how to tell if they're any good.

"Angela?" he asks, not entirely sure it's her. It looks like her, and the drawing is a clue, but it's best to check.

Booth should probably be less surprised. But he's still flummoxed by Milliways, and so he is, a little.

"I'm good," he says, smiling. "And you? Looks like a pleasant way to spend an evening."

"Sitting, unless you'd prefer looming," he says. "That could be arranged. But I don't think there's a lot of need for it."

That said, he takes a seat and orders a beer. "So, come here often?" It's said with an endearing grin and the goofy tone a pickup line like that deserves.

"I find astrology to be an imprecise indicator of compatibility," Booth says in his best Zach voice. "Time spent at a Bar at the end of the universe is much, much better."

He laughs. "I live for danger."

Booth pretends to look wounded. "Fine. I guess they can have the monopoly on stilted diction and long words."

He looks around too, and nods. "He really would. And he'd come up with new theories, too, and that would be kind of scary, really."

Yeah, Booth doesn't need to think about that.

"No," he says emphatically. "No, I'm pretty sure I can't, and that I shouldn't try."

He picks up his beer and takes a drink. "Oh, you know, fine. Still tying up some loose ends on the last case, but it looks like it's going to be a quiet week."

Quiet for Booth means paperwork, mostly, and a little consulting on other cases if they need more help. It's relative, really.

"Busy for you guys in the lab?" he asks. Sometimes he forgets how hard they work on other things, cases that have nothing to do with violent death and modern murder.

"So true," Booth says, grinning. "So, have you ID'd any World War I soldiers? Or maybe Ice Age hunting guys?"

Booth pauses for a moment, thinking about that.

"Maybe she should," he says. "I mean, maybe she shouldn't, because what it represents is bigger than just those men. But they identified the Vietnam soldier, and that's...worth a lot to his family."

He pauses again, not sure what he's saying, but still processing.

"It could, but they've still got families, maybe. Descendants. And -"

Booth pauses, because this is the sort of thing he can't say to Brennan without her scoffing.

"Then there's their souls. Don't you think maybe they'll rest easier, knowing their bodies have been put to rest?"

He pauses again, and this time the hesitation is from thought rather than concern. "Or maybe, once you're done with your earthly remains, you just can't care anymore. I don't know. But there's something in naming a person. It's powerful. Meaningful."

"And they probably were too," Booth says, sighing. "But maybe it's the sort of thing a man can get reconciled to, after all. If we're given a choice, we wouldn't choose that kind of memorial, but if it's what we've got, representing the lost, we could accept it's something worthwhile all the same."

"Just a little," Booth says, smiling so his eyes crinkle at the corners. "And murky, too. I'm not sure we made any sense at all."
