Barney is both ticked off and not wearing a suit this morning. He's in a green shirt and pants, for reasons you'd have to ask him.

He is frowning and poking at a bowl of some multi-grain cereal. It doesn't make him an old person, just health conscious.

He'd love to grumble about Ted at someone.

If Juliet were sardonic enough to golf clap, she'd do just that.

Oh, well. At least Barney gets a teeny tiny smirk from her. "Okay."

"There's got to be a lot of money in the whole fertility thing, though. Lots of desperate women looking to have themselves a bouncing baby?" Barney says.

Which causes her to avert her eyes -- "Yes."

Barney raises an eyebrow.

"I just hit a soft spot. Forget I said that."

To which Juliet responds with one of her "I'm an emotional wreck but I'm trying to keep it together" grins.

You see, one of those desperate women happen to be her sister.

"So, you a Sex and the City fan?" Barney says, trying to change topics.

First, she stares.

Then, she laughs. "No. I can't stand that show, actually."

"Thank god," Barney says. "I really didn't want to have to be called a Samantha for the millionth time."

"I wouldn't blame you; I wouldn't want to be judged based on a television character, either."

O THE IRONY OF THIS THREAD.

"It's like, why not, instead of watching a show about sex in NYC, you actually have some sex in the city?" Barney says.

"There's a market for people who like to live vicariously through their television sets."

"See, I prefer to actually live, don't you?" Barney says.

And lo, did the waitrat arrive with Juliet's breakfast.

LOADED WAFFLES! :DDD*

"I'm a little too busy for that."

* Not actually the expression on Juliet's face.

"Nonsense," Barney says. "Now that you have Milliways, you have all the time in the world."

" -- to do more work," she says wryly, digging a fork in the massive pile of unhealthy that is the Belgian waffle.

"Come on," Barney says. "This is a bar! No one does work in a bar."

"Nobody eats waffles in a bar, either."

"Everybody eats waffles in a bar. Or at least, they should. They are delicious, and dare I say, nutritious?" Barney says, oozing charm.

Juliet looks at her waffle. Juliet looks at Barney. "My dentist would not approve of this breakfast."

"Dentists are only sado-masochists on their day job," Barney says. "They aren't real doctors."

"They do know a few things about teeth."

"Oh, I guess," Barney says with a smile. "Hey, can I get a bite of that?"

Juliet looks around for a -- " -- if you can find a fork."

Barney snaps at another waitrat. "Fork," he orders.

"So, I've got to wait before I can fork you," Barney says. "But just a bit."

Juliet grins, taking another slice and another bite out of the waffle.
