Boromir is in the bar. He has coffee and waffles.

Sara shrugs helplessly. "I do not truly understand it myself, Boromir. But I understand it as well as I understand anything in this bar."

~~It appears that way. Sara will keep her mouth shut.~~

"Yes," he says simply.

Sara searches for a new topic.

She grins wickedly as the thought occurs to her. "Do I seem so strange to you now that you have been here a few days?"

"Well . . . not as much as you did. Your times are strange but not the strangest I have heard of."

She chuckles. "Thank you, I suppose. Though I do understand what you mean. I have been surprised by some of the people I have met."

Though she hasn't run into an Oompa Loompa yet, she knows it is only a matter of time.

"Though most have been very kind. Just . . . different to what I'm accustomed." He shrugs.

She smiles wryly. "That is certainly one way of describing it." She shrugs herself, ordering another cup of coffee. "But I am finding the difference to be welcome. And this is now starting to feel like home."

Boromir looks around. "it is a nice place, certainly, but home?

Not yet.

He sips his coffee.

She nods. "When one is hear involuntarily, I suppose the perception of the place would be different." She shrugs again.

Vegas had ceased to be home for her several years ago. In some ways, she considers the bar to be a godsend.

"Asar-Suti mentioned many believe the dead are brought here for a purpose. I would like to know what that purpose is, in truth. The sooner I know the sooner I can fulfil it."

She shakes her head. "I'm afraid I cannot help you there, Boromir. The purpose may be for you to make peace with yourself and anything that happened while you were still living." She grins again, trying not to be morose. "Or maybe your gods wanted you to have some fun."

A quick frown crosses his face and he looks down at his coffee cup. "Fun . . . yes."

She raises an eyebrow. "Fun: a state of being where one is enjoying oneself. Also, a person is not generally on duty while having fun. The definition of what is fun varies from person to person."

"I know what fun is, thank you. I do not think my gods intend that for me here, however."

"Forgive me, I did not mean to cause offense. I was being sarcastic, a terrible habit of mine."

"No--I'm not offended. Thoughtful, perhaps."
