Jennifer was doing her best not to be bored. Being the new girl meant the hours she got were during the slow times at the bar. Besides making the occasional drink and making sure the tea was fresh, there really wasn't much to do. So now she was engaged in weaving an intricate pattern of water supplied by three glasses of water.

As he approached, the water cascaded back down into the glasses without spilling a drop. Jennifer smiled at him, "What can I get you?"

"I dunno, something that doesn't taste too alcoholy. Maybe vodka and somethin'," he said, sitting down.

"What are your feelings on peaches and oranges," she asked as she washed her hands.

"Okay," Jennifer said, pulling out two bottles of alcohol and a bottle of OJ and mixing them, mostly the peach and orange with just a little bit of the vodka. "Here you go," she said, setting it in front of him.

"Fuzzy navel. Not the most appealing name, but it's a decent enough drink. Peach schnapps, orange juice, and just a little bit of vodka."

"A pleasure. Will," he smiled, taking a sip.
"Oooh! This is quite good."

"Nice to meet you, Will," she said, putting away the ingredients and doing a little cleaning. "New student or been here a while?"

"Really? My mum's an environmental engineer. She's from there. My Da's a businessman from Moscow. We lived in Cardiff until I started doing water tricks. Then I lived in the States for a while."

"Tried going to university there. It didn't work out. So now I'm here, looking for a friendlier learning environment."

"And my mum likes having me closer," she said. "So life is reasonably good." She looked at the glasses again. Watery horses started prancing on the surface of the water in the glasses.

"Well, I haven't been around here long. At the Institute, there was always a use for them. I was on a team there in high school and used the code name 'Rusalka'."
