*Opens eyes*
*Tries to remember yesterevening, tries to forget*
Where am I?

You are in the Bar my friend do you want a drink?

*Wanders in looking for the kind gentleman known as M.K.*

*Takes a seat at the bar and waits for a kind soul to offer her a drink*

* She doesn't have far to look... *

* M.K pops up from restocking the bar freezers... *

Good Morning All !!!

I've got a few spritzers here that won't fit in the fridge, they're on the house !!!

Lord M.K*

Very kind - thank you ... as long as they are the ones with the quiet bubbles ... you understand?

* Smiles sweetly at M.K. *

I´ll have one of those.

So, did you miss me?

(Missed you? I didn't know he'd taken a shot at you)

* M.K removes the bottle tops thinking about how Dax this morning without make-up looks even more radiant than she did the other night... *

Miss, I will make it a point to never miss you in future...

* He goes on to ponder 'infact, make-up on her sullies her beautific looks...' *

Er... Good Morning Kes, how is married life ?

* He turns to Dax... *

I'm sorry this is Kes, who got married, married to a lovely women, married life really, really suits him...

Lord M.K*

Thank you for the introduction, your Lordship - most kind.

Hello Dax ... and thanks for the headache pills.

Smile not thus, Mi'Lord married life has more to it than the unwed may imagine ... much of it better forgot!

... and talking of amnesia - I'd like another drink, please

* looks at herself in her little hand-mirror, sees herself blushing *

If I´m not wearing make-up, how come my cheeks are red?

*Turns and nods politely at Kes*

Hello, nice to meet you...

Thank you. My eyes are usually a better colour than this - rather more blue, and less red. Yours, on the other hand ... complement your natural colouring so well. I'm sure my wife would agree, were she here.

* M.K turns to Kes... *

So how is your young wife these days ???

* M.K sees Dax's flushed expression and wonders why such a young attractive lady in full bloom isn't being swarmed over by potential suitors... *

So what brings you in here early on this fine day ?

Lord M.K*

Nothing brought me in early, Mi'Lord - I've been here since yesterday. I am unsure how (or even if) my wife is at the moment, but I will find out in due course, I expect.

... and your own self, sir?

* at M.K. *

Well I came in early to see you of course my dear...

As for suitors... I´m new here, and you were just lucky enough to notice me first I guees.
Besides, I never could say no to a handsome gentleman who offers me a free drink at first site

*Kes drinks, and awaits His lordship's reply*

* M.K smiles ruefully at Kes... *

Well, lets just say things are cool...

cooling off that is...

* He looks away glumly... *

So your twin brother, is he still around ?

* He then catches sight of Dax intense gaze... *

Well, I'm flattered...

Infact, I'm charmed...

* He reaches down and grabs another drink for her & slides one down the bar to Kes, without turning away... *

Well there are plenty of free samples of this one Banana & Mango one...

* He is awe struck with how closely she resembles Alyssa Milano in this light... *

Lord M.K*

*Kes catches the welcome slider, and continues his conversation with the sample bottle (bottle containing free sample, that is)*

Cool, cooling ... nice cold bottle. Cooling off Know the feeling ... that I do. Actually easier to handle than overheating, though. Cheers!

*Glug*

Aaaark! What the hell is this? *Reads label* Sardine and passion fruit concasse in a distilled liniment base. Bottled in the former Soviet replublic of Darzerkistan.

No wonder you got them for free. You haven't got one in plain old brown boot polish, have you?

*Still smiling, now laughing plesantly at M.K.´s remark*

Charmed eh? Oh I just love that show. But I´m really more of a Piper girl myself...
Perhaps I could stop time around us and we could see just how nice a bit of magic in the air could be

*Kes appears to have frozen, in the midst of trying to spit out the offending drink unobserved*
