*Bernard makes his way out of the Staff Quarters, looking... not too bad. He's got his newspapers in his hand.

He gets a cup of coffee and a bagel from the bar and sits at his table, reading.

His face turns grim.*

Bartleby spots him from behind the bar and nods in greeting.

*Bernard nods back, in a foul mood.*

Normally, Bartleby would respect that foul mood, but he has a purpose. He'll keep it short though. He makes his way to Bernard's table. "Hey. Don't suppose you saw my notice?"

*He rubs his eyes, suddenly tired.*

No, I must have missed it. The fucking board fills up fast lately.

What did it say?

"Congrats on the bar working again, by the way." He smiles. "And it said: I've gone to live in Wisconsin, need wages in cash instead of room and board. Roughly."

Oh!

*He grins, a little shamefaced.*

Sorry, the holidays have been full, to say the least.

So, uh. How was Wisconsin?

"It's okay. Couldn't find you, so had to get another job to get enough money to move up from the park bench." He shrugs. "So I've been a bit scarce." He sits down in a chair. "You look a lot better."

*He smiles*

Thanks. I feel better. Look, ma, I can walk on my own, and everything.

*he takes a long drag*

You need a raise, Bartleby?

"Just need cash. Although a raise would be good. As the longest-serving member of staff." He grins. "Or maybe not longest-serving, since I left for all that time, but you know what I mean."

*Bernard concentrates, and Bartleby's built-up credit decreases. On the bar appears a small stack of American dollars.*

That okay for the time being?

"Yeah. Thank you." Bartleby smiles widely. "Will make things a lot easier."

*Bernard smiles*

Anytime.

Ask me in about a week about that raise, ok? I want to make sure the Bar's okay with it.

"Sure." The prospect of being able to quit his job in Wisconsin is making Bartleby grin widely. "Thank you again. Glad you're better." He stands to head back behind the bar.

Thanks. So am I.

*he goes back to his cigarette, and contemplates getting a drink*
