[Arkady's standing in one of the hallways, looking a little lost.]

...Oh. So this is what it feels like.

Um...Dr. House's door has returned to Barge normal. So...he's left us.

[She hopes it just means he woke up on the damn operating table. She has to convince herself that that's what happened.]

I'll be down the pub if anyone needs anything.

[Friends filter]
I could use a hug. I'll be all right, but I could still use a hug.

[Private for Reaver]
So I heard you're interested in our little establishment. Well, there's a bit of learning involved and I'm happy to help with that. Perhaps we should start with a tasting?

[Arkady is puttering around, teleporting now and again to save time or rescue a dropped glass. She's clearly coping with her loss, but wears the occasional sadface. She's pretty much letting in anyone who knocks.]

Fascinating. I wonder if it's some kind of genetic mutation, though it seems exceptionally rare that twelve unrelated people would manifest something so similar. Of course, evolution does depend on what's seemingly exceptionally rare at any given time.

[He pauses, enjoying the mint leaf smell.]

I think all people in higher powers enjoy being secretive, oftentimes to control those below them.

[A brief pause before she finishes stirring everything together.]

Yes, well, they were fairly well evil in our world.

I'm sorry. But there can't be great good without great evil, either.

[He studie Arkady for a while afterwards.]

Did they just let you go?

No. We escaped. There was an explosion caused by their experiments on our brains, and we got out that way.

...the whole thing was a horrible mess. We were fifteen, very angry and very scared.

I'm sure.

But you were able to find your own way, after that?

[Julep sip. Mm. Minty.]

Well...first there was the bit about being chased by tanks and helicopters for a few months. Then the disaster came, and we were able to disappear in the chaos.

After that we found our way to Whitechapel, cleaned the place up and started taking in refugees.

[She sips her own drink, a faint guilty look on her face.]

I'm glad, that you became something great.

[He offers something that might be a smile, a crinkling at the corners of his eyes. Julep sip.]

This is very good.

It needed doing. And really...if you're a psychonaut, if you're really into becoming aware, your moral development grows as well. You can't see...really see people...and not love them at least a little.

[She bounces in her seat.] Oh, I am glad that you like it. I love being creative and showing people new experiences, even if it is just a new drink.

For all their flaws, humanity truly is the Lord's most beautiful creation. They're capable of so much.

How is it made?

Mint leaves, powdered sugar, bourbon whiskey, water and a touch of lime, with crushed ice.

[He considers this.]

There may be some fresh mint in the garden. If not, I imagine the admiral would grant such plants.

Oh yes! We have lovely mints, I smell them whenever it is warm. Apparently they grow very, very fast!

From what I understand, it has many culinary uses.

Ever had mint chip ice cream? That's lovely too.

There are a lot of lovely things. They tend to be small, but that's all right.

Hm, I haven't. I haven't tried most foods, but many of them that I tried, I liked. I wonder if the cafeteria would make some.

I shall ask around the kitchens. I have friends there.

I've been speaking with them more lately, given that the greenhouse is now producing several types of fruit as well as fresh honey.

Oh yes, it's lovely. I had a nice conversation with the Queens the other day. Bees have such interesting minds.

I hope they find my care of them adequate. If not, if you could get them to tell me how I could improve it, I'd be more than willing to do so.

More clover. That is the only thing they specifically wanted. Apparently it is very tasty to them.

I will grow some more immediately, then. I believe there are a few additional flower boxes I could use.
