"Can I get you anything?"

The soft, friendly voice comes from the young woman behind the counter, and is clearly directed at him.

"Coffee, maybe?"

"No, no, I'm fine..." He looks up from the menu and pauses. Stares, even. "Moiraine?"

She seems amused, but it fades into concern quickly as she looks at him.

"Are you sure I can't get you something? You look-- tired, maybe." A beat. "Rough day?"

She's not the Moiraine I know. The right edge of his mouth goes up in a grimace. He flicks the edges of the menu. "Yeah. Yeah. Coffee's good."
