When the door shows up for Beckett for the second day in a row, it comes as a bit of a surprise to her, but she heads toward the bar without hesitation, hoping to at least get a cup of decaf out of the deal.
Instead of a cup, a napkin appears in front of her. She reads it with a frown.
"Really?"
Another napkin appears. Beckett reads that one, too.
"Alright," she finally agrees, shoulders sagging in surrender, and slides under the bar to set everything up.
"Just so you know, I'm not very good at--" A third napkin appears and interrupts her. "Fine. But you're going to have to help me."
The specials board immediately changes to a list with Bar's handwriting:
HAPPY HOUR
Cop Car
E Pluribus Unum
Holly Golightly
Beer, wine and other mixed drinks available upon request.
Beckett's eyes read over the list and she makes a face.
"Funny."
A fourth napkin appears: this one with just a smiling face drawn on.

"Probably the E Pluribus," she decides out loud, hands hovering over the tumbler. "You want one?"

There are strong drinks, and then there are stupidly strong drinks.
"I think a person could have a different drink every day and never try everything there is to try."

The rest gets served to him in a nicer glass, with the chocolate shavings sprinkled on top.
"There you go."

He smiles faintly, and takes the glass. "Thank you."

She watches him closely. "How is it? It's my first time making it, so I welcome critique."

He smiles. "It's very good. Sweeter than I normally have, but I like it."

"It's almost like dessert when the ice cream gets thrown into the mix."
