[ Rikki has been skulking around, not coping very well at all since her little chat with Pat. But she's run out of food at her place, so to the diner it is. Enjoy the glum redhead with the burned and blistered fingers, Steph. ]

[ The flash of bobbed red hair out of the corner of her eye needles Steph with a rare sense of déjà vu. For one irrational second, she swears it's Holly and almost yells her name. It's brief, but disappointing. She hadn't been able to help the joy and relief that had bubbled up at the idea of a familiar face not of the bat variety.

But no, it's not Holly. She kicks herself for thinking it in the first place, then plasters on a smile. ]

Ouch. You want something for that?

[ Rikki makes herself smile back. Normal people are able to smile. She is totally normal and fine. ] I'm okay. That's what I get for playing with fire, right? [ she flexes her fingers and winces a little. ]

[ Steph eyes the long scar over the bridge of her nose. Wearing a tank top herself, her scars are also visible. She knows that normal girls don't have scars like the two of them do. ]

You know what's great for burns? Eggwhites. I can bring some out to you with your order, if you'd like. [ she takes out her pad and pen ] What can I get for you?

[ Rikki manages another smile, this one smaller but a bit more genuine. ] That's really nice, but I'm okay. [ Rikki's eyes flick towards Steph's scars, assessing them. ] Uh, the chicken salad with non fat dressing.

[ Rikki stares at the menu again for a second. Eating salad sucks without Anya here to rib her for it. ] ...On second thought? Screw that. Can I get the ridiculous pancake with the smiley face? With chocolate chips. And extra whipped cream. [ Eating healthy is for losers, obviously. ]

[ Steph's smile jumps in wattage. It's broader, brighter, and more real. ]

A girl after my own heart. I can't decide if I like the waffles or the pancakes more here. I switch off daily---I figure I'll decide which is the superior breakfast carb sooner or later.

[ she scribbles down the order. ]

So I'm Stephanie, and I'll be your waitress today. Can I get you anything else?

So French Toast is no longer in the running? [ Rikki asks. It feels bizarre to be talking about normal things. Having a conversation feels strange. ] No, that'll do it. Thank you, Stephanie.

yousonofabat July 18 2011, 06:37:55 UTC

French Toast was eliminated in the first round, just like crepes. I love 'em, but around here we stick to our roots and leave the fancy-schmancy carbs to Europe.

[ she takes her menu ]

Yeah, but what about Belgian Waffles? [ Rikki asks, mock serious. ] God, I can't actually remember the last time I had pancakes.
