Bartending

[markedcard]

It's been a while since Merlin was in Milliways, but that doesn't stop a politely worded napkin request once he's made it to the counter. One he finds agreeable. Bar is kind enough to produce a book of drinks, and after skimming through it, he dutifully marks them up on the board.

"Greetings," Teja says to the young man who reminds him both of Eirene's lover, and of long-lost Merlin, the Amberite.

"I would try one of those drinks, but not one with vodka in it."

"Your best bet is the Stardust, then. It's the only one lacking vodka as an ingredient," replies the not-so-long-lost Merlin. Helpfully.

Ahhhh - but Teja does not know that this is, indeed, Merlin. He had not given his name when they spoke before.

"I will drink that, then," he says.

"Hope so, since you're ordering it."

It doesn't take long to gather the somewhat colorful ingredients, mix, shake and pour the finished product into a glass for the sombre goth. He's kind enough to resist putting a tiny umbrella in.

Nikola eyes the specials board warily.

"I think I'll stick with scotch today."

"Not a problem. Straight or on the rocks?"

Helpful Merlin is helpful.

"Straight," Nikola says.

Helpful people are useful. Nikola approves.

Well, that takes less than two shakes of a lamb's tail to put together. One glass of scotch is set down in front of the scientist, quite possibly accompanied by a tiny umbrella.

Merlin can't help himself today. "There you go."
