Sarah smiled again, "Orange juice is fantastic." She didn't get enough of it at home really, due to the kitchen usually being stocked by two boys and one teenage girl.

"OK, then," Dinah smiles and nods.

"So how are you this morning?"

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

A grin around a mouthful of waffle, though at least she chewed and swallowed before answering, "Doing quite well, somehow I managed to sleep in a booth again without realizing I'd fallen asleep, but hey, breakfast solves everything."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"It sure does," Dinah agrees.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Another grin around another mouthful, nodding. She blinked twice, then extended a hand, "I'm Sarah by the way, Sarah Rainmaker."

Dinah smiles and shakes with a hand that is warm from the waffles.

"Pleased to meet you, Sarah. I'm Dinah."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She could totally get used to this, breakfast and fulfilling her 'meet one new person every day' quota, "Nice to meet you." A pause then to snarf down another bite of waffle, "How long've you been here?"

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Oh a couple of months now," Dinah says. "Place sure is somethin'."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah grinned once again at that, nodding, "Isn't it?" She'd only been here a few months herself, off and on, but she was quite sure she'd never get tired of it.

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"So what about you? You been here long?"

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She nodded, already halfway through the waffles, they were good. "Been here off and on for... uh... three months now I think, maybe a little more. Seems like more though."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"It really does, doesn't it?" Dianh agrees. "Feels like home so quickly."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She smiled lopsidedly at that, nodding slowly as she took a long swallow of her orange juice, "Yeah. It does." A shrug, "Easy to make friends here really, get attached to people."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, everyone's so nice, I've found," she agrees, although she wouldn't really say she was attached to anyone in particular. "Have you met anyone special here?"

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Her brow furrowed, realizing how that must have sounded, she shook her head, "no. Well..." Her brow furrowed further, it was difficult to explain really, as 'special' meant something different to everyone, "Well, not special enough to get that attached to. But special enough to worry about if I don't see them for a while."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Oh that makes sense, certainly," she agrees.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Another smile, she was making sense, and early in the morning, yay!

She nodded then, "Good, because sometimes I'm spouting gibberish and I don't even realize it."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

Dinah laughs at that. "Oh don't worry. If you were spouting gibberish you'd know by my puzzled face."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

Sarah laughed as well, shaking her head, "I get that a lot though anyway. At least, back home." A pause, "Well, and around here really." A shrug, "At least with the puzzled face I know enough to ask 'did that make any sense at all?'"

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"well, I'll be sure and tell you whenit doesn't," Dinah assures her.

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She tilted her head then, "So what's your when and where?"

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

Dinah blinks, slightly confused.

"I'm from all over, Sugar," she finally settles on. "Originally built in the North Yard, Memphis."

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She blinked twice, but hey, this was Milliways, just about anything was possble, "I'm from California myself. La Jolla."

[vanwithaman.livejournal.com]

"Oh really? Lovely scenery out there. What was it you did out there, if you don't mind the asking?"

[iamnotstorm.livejournal.com]

She smiled brightly at that, waffles almost finished, "I'm a superhero. Sort of."

She swiped her fingers against the outside of the orange juice glass, collecting the condensation and forming it into a miniature stormcloud that drifted off across the bar, sparking static.
