*Bernard's at the usual table.

Coffee.

Newspaper.

A shocking lack of scars.*

Comments

[sai_delgado]

From the bar, Susan notices him and waves, smiling brightly.

*Bernard twitches his newspaper down and smiles back warmly.*

[sai_delgado]

She slides off the barstool and comes over, saying as she approaches,

"Good day, Bernard-- long days and pleasant..."

That's as far as she gets before she sees clear the difference in his appearance, and her eyes widen.

*He's grinning like an idiot.*

Hey, Susan.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith notices the lack of scars, and is appropriately shocked.

"...Boss? What the Hell?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard raises an eyebrow, smirking*

Hmm?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

"You're all..."

Faith gestures, incoherently.

"Scars gone."

*POINT POINT POINT POINT*


DID YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL?!?!

*Spluttering*

No!!

[leplusbeau]

*pinch pinch poke pinch*

WHAT!! HOW--??

[gil-whimple.livejournal.com]

Gil blinks a bit and smiles uncertainly.

"Looking good, Bernard. Want a paradox?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard grins*

Sure, Gil. Thanks.

How're you?

[gil-whimple.livejournal.com]

Gil clip-clops to his side and places a steaming bowl of freshly fried paradoxes within reach.

"Fine now, getting used to being an animal again." He smiles. "I can be really precise with my seasoning with this sense of smell. Sorry about last week by the way."

He hesitates. "You - um - seem to have made a few changes, yourself."

Elaine passes by Bernard's table with her tray, and pauses to greet him. Something is different.

"Good even, Bernard...you look...different." Elaine has not placed her finger on what it is yet. She never knew Bernard without the scars.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He grins up at her*

Hey, Elaine.


...Do I?

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

Elaine nods. And then realizes. "Oh! all the scars are gone...however did that happen?"

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

Anthy peers at him.

"Did you cut your hair?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

No, Anthy. I didn't.

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

"It's a good cut."

Anthy is selectively deaf.

[creator_raven]

Hello, Bernard.

You look well, today.

*Raven means this on several levels*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard replies belatedly because his mun is not getting notifications.*

Thank you, Raven. How are you?

[creator_raven]

I am well. Already this place feels very comfortable.

Although I should probably learn not to sleep in the rafters. There's a surprising amount of activity up there.

[young_tmriddle]

*Tom sees Bernard on the way to get a very fast scotch and he breaks out into a huge grin.*

Bernard, bloody hell! What happened to your scars?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard replies belatedly because his mun is not getting notifications.*

Thom fixed it.

[young_tmriddle]

*Tom replies quickly since his mun is on a class break!*

Brilliant - that's absolutely smashing.

I met him for the first time not long ago - I didn't realize he was that powerful of a magic users.
