There is a familiar sort of conversation going on over at the bar. A temperamental teenager receives a napkin. There is frowning and griping. Another napkin appears. Another round of griping. And it ends in the usual fashion.

Threats and a new message on the board.

Ben's feeling mostly good for once and so decided to take the chance of Milliways when it showed up. And there's someone at the Bar...weird.

"I didn't think the Bar was ever tended," he says with what he hopes is a friendly smile. Though it's been most of a year, he still isn't sure about the facial expressions his new body makes.

Well, that's... interesting.

Not the weirdest person/creature Rachel's ever spoken to, but definitely getting a glance up from her magazine.

"...only when she gets too lazy to do it herself," she reports, lifting her head. "Can I get you something?"

[unbreakableben]

She looks familiar now that he sees her face.

"Yeah," he says catching sight of the Specials Board, "Um..can you do a protein shake? Banana and blueberry flavored?"

"Sure," Rachel replies, setting the magazine aside to slide off the stool. There's not a whole lot of conversation that can go on while the blender's running, but it doesn't take too long for her to put the drink together.

It is offered to him with a neon blue straw, and a tight smile. "Here you go."

[unbreakableben]

Yeah he remembers her now that he's seen that tight smile.

"I think I remember you," he says hesitantly. "You were that gal with the hawk or eagle...when I first came here. R something right? I'm Ben."

"Hawk," Rachel corrects automatically, frowning a little at him. "I'm Rachel.

"Hi, um. Sorry, I don't think I remember you."

He is kind of memorable at the moment.

Ben laughs.

"I was that idiot frat boy who said interesting things like magic bars don't happen to him. I was human back then so if you don't remember me that's fine."

Rachel blinks and that look of dawning almost-disgust on her face shows she does remember him.

And is looking him over now, too, smirking a little.

"Your sense of fashion's improved."

[unbreakableben]

Ben continues to grin.

"I thought that tie was pretty decent," he says in mock outrage, "though on retrospect, the toga might have been a bit much."

[amazonofthe21st]

"Yeah, somehow Roman Empire and business casual never really combined in the department stores."

[unbreakableben]

"I'll remember that for next time...though I doubt there ever will be a next time," he says and covers his admission with a sip of the shake. "Tasty!"

[amazonofthe21st]

"Not planning to show up in another sheet?" Rachel teases, friendly as she wipes down the bar. "I approve."

[unbreakableben]

"Not if I can help it," Ben replies a bit off balance by her friendliness. "Though my dance card ain't exactly over flowing so I doubt I'll get the chance."

[amazonofthe21st]

Rachel lifts an eyebrow at that, automatic. "So your fashion sense hasn't actually improved, the likelihood you'll be invited to parties has just decreased?"

[unbreakableben]

"Well it wasn't like I worn togas all the time, just for parties. You know for fun. I'll admit the tie was a bit much though. That I wouldn't repeat."
