Bright and early again, the bar's resident dining car is behind the bar, setting out juice, sugar, sauces, all the things one needs for a good breakfast at the end of the Universe, the specials already written up on the chalk board:

Breakfast Specials
Breakfast Wellington
Apple And Raisin Oven Pancakes
Half a grapefruit

"What'll you have?"

"Of course you can, Sugar," Dinah says, with a dazzling smile - almost literally, as her teeth are that white. She serves the pancakes with surprising alacrity - facilitated by the wheels on her feet - and also provides him with a glass of orange juice.

"There you are. Can I get you some tea of coffee?

"I am new, yes. This is my second week on the job. I'm Dinah."

"Funny I didn't meet you yet; I was terribly busy. I like coming to breakfast, between gardening and librarian-ing. I'm Asar-Suti; perhaps you heard my name from the rats? I live with Gil."

Asar-Suti tries the pancakes and finds them excellent; he smiles to himself at how easily he supposes that people have heard of him because he's with the cook.

But then, this is a bar.

"Coffee, please," he adds.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance," Dinah says with a nod as she pours out a cup of coffee. "How do you take it?

"Oh, Mr. Whimple's a dear, isn't he? He suggested I get this job. So how long have you two been together?"

"Oh, just with a bit of milk, please," Asar-Suti says, à propos of the coffee.

"Of course he's a dear - but I'm totally biased in his favour, so. I think Gil is the most wonderful person there is. We've been together for almost half a year now - it's six months on the sixteenth. Good thing you remind me; I have think of some fun thing we can do to celebrate. Somebody suggested picnics might be nice..."

So she pours a little bit of milk into the coffee before passing it over, smirking softly at his description of Gil.

"Well, ain't that sweet," she says. "You could certainly take a picnic outside if the weather's up for it. Thick crusty bread, a selection of cheeses, a nice Rosé, strawberries, of course."

Asar-Suti sips his coffee, smiles, and thinks.

"Yes, that sounds very good; I'll have to see what the weather is like on the sixteenth."

He munches pancakes, trying not to talk around them.

"We celebrated the quarter-anniversary in May; funny to think it's another three months already. It feels so new. It feels as if there never could have been a time without him. I wasn't me without him." Dinah probably doesn't know how true that is, in Asar-Suti's case. "I must sound totally sappy; I think I must be in love..."

He grins at her, and drinks his coffee.
