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?"

Dinah gives a slightly disappointed look, but doesn't look actually sad.

"Well, that's a shame. Can I at least offer you some juice?

"I'm just fine, thank you. Settling into my new job well. Meetin' all sorts of people."

"No thank you."

She frowned at the bar.

"I'm having some financial problems, so it's budget for me from now on."

She looked annoyed, but Aeryn looked annoyed 50% of the time anyway.

"Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that," Dinah says, sounding like she genuinely means it. "Here, have this glass on me."

She doesn't eat. She has no tab worries.

"Can't they run a tab for you?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." She didn't want to fill up someone else Tab, but she had no desire to throw the gesture or the juice back in Dinah's face.

"I dislike owing money." She'd find some way to get by.

"Sure you don't," Dinah says with a sympathetic nod. "Are you Bound, if you don't mind my askin'?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No. But I'm not planning on going anytime soon."

Her face darkened over a little. The others were just as poor as her, there'd be no point.

"Well, have you tried gettin' a job here? I'm sure there's lots you could do."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I'm only good at one thing." She patted her pulse pistol and grinned.

"Well, maybe it's time you learned something else?" Dinah asks with a wink.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You may be right." She took a drink and tried to imagine doing something else.

Dinah lets Aeryn follow her own thoughts for a while before shrugging.

"But what do I know? I've been doin' the same thing since I was built. Why don't you ask Mr. Wrangle where he needs people helping?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps I will. Thank you for the advice."

She stood up and with a wave, wandered off.
