[After the execution finishes and Wendy is dragged down into the Earth by that absolute horrific monstrosity of a creature and Typhon gives his goodbye, Quark will stand there for a long moment in the silence, before announcing, in a voice that wavers while trying to go for neutral:]

The bar’ll be open. Sitting around alone isn’t going to help anyone. [he turns to look at Ferdinand] Ferdinand, you’re with me. I need someone to move the table.

[and, taking Cerejeira’s elbow, he’s going to head out of the Arena. So...post trial, the Eatery’s been moved into bar configuration by Ferdinand and Quark. There’s been several of the extra togas gathered and folded to be used as blankets. There are snacks from the pantry brought out and placed on plates and in bowls and left out to eat. The bar is open, but so is the kitchen, if anyone wants to make something.

Both Ferdinand and Quark can be found behind the bar, the latter attempting to teach the former how to use the replicator he’s now got back there in addition to the other drink components. At least it’s keeping them busy. They’re both there to serve drinks, however.

The door is open.]

And why should anyone do that for me?

What, like you don't have nightmares?

That is not anyone else's concern!

Why not. What makes you so special?

If I of all people cannot keep my own dreams in check, who else could?

You, of all people? What's that supposed to mean?

If the Princess of Night cannot give herself good dreams, then clearly she deserves it!

[Yeah. There it is.]

Now that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. [BLUNTLY] And my brother's an idiot, so I've heard a lot of stupid things.

Well, who do you expect to do it? The stars themselves? Cel - Athena?

[he catches that change on name. He tucks that away, tabling it for later. He'll bring that up in a bit.] You're going to be stopping by tonight, right? Try pulling me into your dreams.

[ Immediately: ]

Absolutely not.

What? Too good to let a commoner in? [sure, he knows that's not it, but pushing some buttons has worked so far so we're going to keep doing that]

What need hast thou to enter my dreams at all?

The same reason you do to enter mine. [duh]

You could not do anything about it, anyhow.

How do you know.

What would you even do? You have no power over dreams!

Maybe I don't need it to influence them.

It is far too dangerous, and that is that!

Why? What is it about your dreams that are more dangerous than mine?

That is not your concern.

[ It is, admittedly, a pretty circular argument. ]

Well, then I guess my dreams aren't your concern.

It is my job to watch over dreams! They are indeed my concern!

[ Granted, she does refrain, if asked. She agreed to that for Ranma, at least for a little bit. But Luna doesn't...want to offer that, right now! ]

S'that so. Because last time I checked you were the Goddess of Dusk here, not dreams.

I still think that is ridiculous, too.

[ A title better suited to Twilight Sparkle, surely! ]
