The specials show up on the board the minute he gets there. Bartending's fun -- at least he had fun the last time he was back here -- and if nothing else, he'll have paid off that new set of clothes Bar gave him after his trip to Ellen's world. The last thing he wants is to be known as some kind of freeloader. He's always paid his way, ever since he was seventeen and found himself alone, and there's no reason he'd stop doing it just 'cause he's stuck here.

Tonight's Specials

Easy Action

A Goodnight Kiss

The specials make him laugh but hey, they're kind of appropriate and at least they go in progression. He adds one more thing to the board before setting up shop for the duration:

"Never had any complaints about that either. But let's try it and find out."

The drink, he means, and this one seems more precise from the instructions. He places a single cube of sugar in the flute, adds a drop of bitters to it -- just one, that's all the recipe calls for -- and then fills the thing with champagne and a splash (just like it says) of Campari, which reminds him a whole lot of Juni Red.

He might have to try one of these himself sometime.

Dinah swaps her empty glass for the full one.

"Oh, this is going in the trophy room," she teases.

For all her willing complicity in tonight's specials, Dinah gets a wink. "You let me know if it gets any attention, okay?"

One more time, he clears away the empty glass. Three drinks. With some people they'd serve as promises, but with others they're just good fun. Dinah, she's fun. He's liked her from the start and she's one of those people here that he'd do just about anything for.

Just about. Even if he won't let her win at pyramid, at least not intentionally.
