And thus, that table is seated.

[1d4 = 2] [1d4 = 1] [1d5 = 2]
[1d4 = 1] [1d4 = 2] [1d5 = 1]

[1d4 = 1] [1d4 = 1]

A single who intends to dine is given the high table with one chair, the others are informed they'll have to enjoy themselves at the bar.

One of De Sew's tables opens, as does one of Larkhaven's. Meanwhile, another table of Larkhaven opens

I wish I had a group of friends like that I could do things with, she thinks wistfully to herself. Maybe when I get settled down more.

The real question is, how many more cycles of tables do you want to go through?

The patrons come in waves, and as Amber stands strong, the wave crests and breaks. More enter, but from this point onwards, the number entering is fewer than those leaving. Amber catches a break, and nears the end of her shift.

Although it's less stressful for Amber she still must focus on her job. The strain of standing relatively still for a long period of time and her hunger makes it difficult for her, but she continues to put on a cheerful demeanor for newcomers while wishing those who leave a good night.

She sits down on the floor by the entrance and rubs at her eyes with a fetlock, yawning. It takes her a moment to consider whether she's actually free at this time.

Amber goes into the restaurant and tries not to get in anypony's way. She looks around to see how the waiters have managed and if they're as tired as she is.

Melon has become more lax, talking to a table. Larkhaven, slightly displeased, stands near the kitchen. De Sew is still moving. Cream Pop isn't visible at the moment. Mustard Trim is still running around. Their jobs are not done yet,

They're doing pretty well for themselves, I hope I can get myself to keep such a brisk pace even on busy days. Seeing what Melon is doing, an idea forms in her mind. She goes to a nearby table and politely asks the occupants, "Hello all, have you been having a good time?"

"It brings joy to my heart to see so many ponies enjoy the company of friends, and I'm glad to be able to help them in a small way. Hopefully I can enjoy the pleasure myself soon, but having just arrived at Baltimare it might be a little while."

"Well..." This question causes him pause, and Petal starts talking to either the Doctor or Makade - hard to tell.

"Things could be a whole lot worse. I have my health, my lovely Petal Dew, a nice house, and our Lyka is back. Things could really be a whole lot worse."
