Tara comes downstairs and goes over to the bar, sitting at one end.

"Could I get a cup of tea with milk and sugar please, sweetness?"

The tea arrives and she sips it, glancing around the bar. She kind of wants to talk to Isabel again, and is torn between wanting to talk to Warren and wanting to leave the poor boy alone.

"There are more of us around than I'd've thought, apparently. It's not bad, though, at least I still get to talk to people."

Tara looks down and giggles.

"He's very sweet. I like dogs, but we never had one this big."

"Thing that gets me is, most of the people I've met are from far far in my future. Not so many from the past."

He smiles.

"Yeah. He's almost as tall as my horse." Okay, so, not really, but pretty close.

Tara looks thoughtful. "Maybe the bar attracts more future-people than past-people, for some reason. It's an interesting thing, though, most of the people I met are from around my time."

She smiles at Beowulf and scratches behind his ears. "He's a lovely dog."

"Maybe," he says with a bit more grin than before.

"He's very well-trained too." The smile grows, he might actually be showing teeth now.

"Considering he's not leaping all over me, I'd say he's very well-trained."

She drinks some more tea. "I wonder what brings people here, anyway. I mean, I think I've got a purpose, but some of the people I've talked to say that it's random, and this place is just like any other bar to them, but a bit... odd."

[i_vanquish_evil]

"I'm not the person to ask. Especially since it seems I must be in near mortal peril to arrive here."

[blessed-been.livejournal.com]

She makes a face.

"Oh, that sucks. I've done the whole mortal peril thing myself, it's not nearly as glamourous as people make it out to be."

[i_vanquish_evil]

He smirks. "Yes. I know."

"So, what did you do before you came here?"

[blessed-been.livejournal.com]

She makes another face. "Fought demons and vampires and insane evil goddesses. And went to college."

[i_vanquish_evil]

"Same for me, only no goddesses and no college. And I only know what I've been doing for the last seven years or so."

She grimaces. "Ouch, amnesia. Not good."

She scratches Beowulf's head again.

"I think I'm going to go stretch my legs, if you don't mind - I've been cooped up in my room for days, I need the fresh air."

[i_vanquish_evil]

"Maybe."

"Not at all. Might do the same myself here in a bit. Beowulf likes the lake."

She stands up, pets Beowulf once more and smiles at Van Helsing.

"It was nice talking to you. I'm glad the valerian helped."
