Dar was up early, as usual: the habit of a person who is used to getting up to let the bread rise before breakfast. Ashari sounded like they were in no mood for back-talk. As a matter of fact, given that this was a business affair, not a party, Dar wasn't inclined to argue.
Besides, there was more than one way to let your boss know your opinion on things.
So she gave herself a time limit: one standard hour. Plus a goal of making use of some of the party leftovers.
She lays out the breakfast spread as unobtrusively as possible. There's a variety, because she's still learning what these people eat, but the quantities are more modest than the night before: The buns make a re-appearance, some actual leftovers and filled with duck, other steamed freshly from the refrigerated leftover dough and presented with a choice of fillings for the diners to add: grilled tofu in a vegetarian sauce, nut butter, and berry jam. There's a warming pot full of rice gruel, with toppings ranging from savory to sweet available. There are two dishes of baked eggs, one with vegetables and the other with ham and aged cheese. Urns of green and scented black tea are set out, along with a carafe of coffee, plus all the various trimmings for such. Some of the leftover sweets and fruit are set out by the hot drinks, and there are also pitchers of water and fruit juice.
