Breakfast at Milliways

Richard steps behind the bar and ties on his apron.

"What'll it be?"

A bleary-eyed Wash plops down onto one of the barstools, mumbling something that could just as easily be "hello" as "why, God, why does the 'verse have to exist before seven AM?"

...actually, he's giving the whole 'laconic' thing another try this morning. So let's go with the first option.

Richard grins.


"Morning, Wash, what can I get for you?"

"Uh. Omelette? Omelette sounds good. Can you make it with real eggs? And maybe lace it with caffeine?" He rubs the back of his neck, grimacing a little as he works out the kinks.

"Of course we make it with real eegs. What would you like in it? And how about coffee or tea for the caffeine?"

The corners of his lips twitch up into a smile. The smell of food's starting to wake him up a bit. "I don't know, I kind of have my heart set on a caffeinated omelette now...but I guess the coffee'll have to do. And let's go with cheese and green peppers."

He smiles and brings out an omelet and large cup of coffee. He sets out the cream and sugar.

"Let me know if you need anything else."

"Xièxie. Will do." He dumps a few packets of sugar into the coffee and tucks into the omelette, absentmindedly stifling a yawn.

"Hm?" He blinks at Richard, politely bewildered, then, "Oh! Right, right, 2005, not....Xièxie means, uh, 'thanks.' It's Chinese."

"Oh, I've never heard any Chinese before. Leanr something new everyday."
flybywash: (*snerk*)

Wash nods and takes a long pull of his coffee. "Yeah," he says. "Everybody speaks it back home. I still forget that almost nobody's going to know what I'm yammering about if I use it here." A small smirk. "On the plus side, it means I can be sneaky and use stealth insults."

Richard rolls his eyes and grins.

"I knew i shuld have paid better attention in French class."
flybywash: (confident smile)

[personal profile] flybywash 2005-01-17 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughs. "Can't help you there, sorry. But...." He scoops up the last bite of his omelette and chews, thinking. "Liú kŏushuĭ de biăozi hé hóuzi de bèn érzi. There you go. Much better than French."

He snerks.

"What was that? And do I need to revoke your coffee privileges now?"
flybywash: (*snerk*)

"Hey, I say it only to educate!" Wash clutches at his coffee with mock-protectiveness. (Or maybe not so much with the 'mock' part.) "And it's 'stupid son of a drooling whore and a monkey.' But, see, now if somebody calls you that, you'll know! And you can say it right back at them."

Richard laughs and tops off his coffee.

"Duely noted. I'll try to remember it."
