- Kateri smiles gently at Tanais from her perch on the bar, and
- beckons him over for a scritch, a hug, and a drink of whatever he's
- having...
-
- "Hey, Mike....one for him....and some real cider for me, okay? Not
- this cheapo stuff we usually get in the States."
-
- "And Tanais....welcome to the Place. What took you so long, silly?
- Well, I guess you explained that....never mind. At any rate, good
- companionship is always available here....and there are some
- surprisingly rich friendships to be made. Lots good
- people here."
-
- Her half-pint arrives (gotta re-start slow...:-), and Kat drinks it
- with the respect it deserves before walking over to the chalk line
- with her glass.
-
- "Instead of a toast, here's a poem by Emily Bronte...
-
- 'Love is like the wild rose-briar;
- Friendship like the holly-tree.
- The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
- But which will bloom most constantly?'"
-
- The glass arches into the fire with a gentle crash, before Kat turns
- and heads back to her bar perch.

- i thank you God for most this amazing
- day: for the leaping greenly spirits of the trees
- and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
- which is natural which is infinite which is yes - e.e.cummings
