Dinah was a bit overwhelmed by the number of new faces that appeared in the bar overnight, and she's looking forward to meeting them. For once, there's no need to clear up the mess from happy hour last niht, so she just clears the bar and writes up the:

Breakfast Specials
Fava Bean Egyptian Breakfast
Rice Pecan Hotcakes
Half a grapefruit

"What can I getcha?"

"For the time being, Dinah. Trade would be the fastest way to establish solvency in the short term. I still have credits in the Imperial banks, and I probably could slice some out of the system, but I would prefer to have some credits outside Imperial observation.

"This, however, would just be seed moeny for whatever comes next."

She listens to all this with her head propped in the base of her hand, grinning at him.

"And d'you have any idea what comes next?"

Lando's smile fades a little.

"Not yet. I was hoping I could reclaim Cloud City, but the Empire still has it, and I don't think there is much chance that the Alliance will retake it.

"But there is always opportunity out there. Always a project that a smart and determined man can make work. And with the war ending, with the return of the Republic, the galactic economy is likely to enter a boom phase."

Dinah's face falls as she hears about the loss of Cloud City.

"Oh now that's a real shame. But I'm sure you can find somethin'. You don't strike me as the type of man who'll let somethin' like this get in his way. I'm sure you'll do just fine."

Lando beams. Even he could use a little egoboo sometimes. Not that he would admit this.

"I know that I have a good long life ahead of me, so I'm sure I do as well. It's just a matter of finding the right opportunity. It always has been."

"And you've sure got an eye for opportunity," she assures him. "I don't doubt you'll be fine."

He just gives Dinah one of those looks he likes giving women, and then finsihes his breakfast.

"Dinah, thank you for the breakfast, and the conversation. Have a good day."

"Sure thing, Lando," she says, clearing away his plate. "You take care now!"
