Breakfast at Milliways

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

I know you're monrings have been incomplete without the dining car, so isn't it lucky there's one behind the bar right now?

Breakfast Specials
French Toast Casserole
Ulster Fry
Half a Grapefruit.

"What'll you have?"

Ton peers over the bar at the casserole and scrunches up his nose. "I think I'll pass."

"Nothin' at all, sugar?" Dinah asks.

Barry, in a t-shirt and loose jogging shorts, arrives for breakfast, nods at the man, and says hello to Dinah.

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, Barry," Dinah says with a grin, pouring him a juice.

"What can I get you this morning?"

[silverageflash.livejournal.com]

"That french toast casserole sounds rather like overkill. The kind of thing that can harden your arteries fast.

"Let me have one." He smiles with just a hint of the wicked.

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

Dinah beams brightly and fetches a good plateful of it for him.

"Anything to drink with that, Sugar?"

[silverageflash.livejournal.com]

"The orange juice should be fine for now." He digs in. And makes a face of enjoyment.

"Hmmm. Yet another triumph for the Bar. Or for whoever might be on duty otherwise. Though I hear that Gil has left. You hear anything about that?"

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Oh yes, he's off learning some magic," Dinah says happily. "I'm choosing the specials myself at the moment, and the rats help me put them together."

[silverageflash.livejournal.com]

Barry nods at the news about Gil and makes a mental note to check in with Suti.

"Well, so far you seem to be making some really good choices. Though a lot of people I know - at least the ones who are still alive and have to watch their diets - tend to like smaller breakfasts. You get much call for just plain toast and cereal?"

"Those things'll kill ya, Barry," Cassie says, slipping into a seat beside him. "Hi, Dinah. Can I have a fruit salad?"

[dr-cynic.livejournal.com]

"I'd watch out for that thing," Ton points at the casserole, spitting egg into the air with a hiss. "It's likely to attack."

"If you've got something simple enough to carry with me down to the cells, and maybe coffee in a thermos, that'd be great," Ray says. "Please?"

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Of course, Sugar," Dinah says cheerfully, producing a Thermos from... somewhere and filling it up. "How about some toast? What's your favourite jam?

"How do you take your coffee, Hon?"

[gone_byebye]

"Toast is good. Have you got blackberry jam back there? I don't get that often enough back home." He smiles a little. "And black with two or three sugars usually does the trick, thanks."

"Oh! I almost forgot. If you happen to have a bag of volcanic sand back there somewhere, I'm going to visit Naraht- he's in the cells because he's sick, and he eats rock and stuff, but he's not feeling well enough to eat the usual."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

Dinah nods and fixes the coffee, producing a couple of rounds of hot buttered toast and jam.

The Bar does the job with the volcanic sand.

"He eats rock? Is he a truck?"

[gone_byebye]

"No, he's a Horta," Ray says. "He's, um... He looks kind of like a rock himself. If he were any kind of a vehicle, he'd be some kind of mining machine- his people live underground and burrow through stone. Nice guy, as long as you don't trip over him by mistake and bark your shins."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

Dinah laughs.

"I'm sure he is. I do hope he gets better."

[gone_byebye]

Ray smiles. "Thanks, Dinah. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear you said so."

"Morning, Dinah!"

Asar-Suti smiles brightly at her. He's not a happy deity at the moment, but he doesn't take that out on the innocent. So he is blithe as ever.

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, Mister Suti," Dinah says, presenting him with a glass of frsh juice. "How are you doing?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Lazy," Asar-Suti admits. "While it rains, the garden sort of waters itself."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"That's true," she says. "Are you finding other ways to keep yourself busy?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"I read books," Asar-Suti says.

He foun that the longer Gil was gone, the more he missed him, but he wasn't going to go on moping. Charlie might understand, but he'd leave everybody else alone with that.

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Oh really?" Dinah asks, leaning on the bar. "Anything good?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"It would not be fair to say; it concerns people from this plac," Asar-Suti says, thinking of his Sherlock Holmes omnibus, and then some.
