The bar was extraordinarily well-stocked, which Shadow supposed wasn't really surprising. A quick trip into the back room yielded everything he needed to make the drink. There weren't any bowls, but that was probably just as well, he thought. It took him only a few minutes to make the drink, and he dropped a straw into it as he slid the glass to Bast.

"Enjoy," he said.

He didn't really want to talk about what Odin and Loki had done to get Shadow involved in Odin's life and the war he was planning. He'd told Pepper because he had been drunk and comfortable, but generally he didn't like talking about such private things. But he supposed that if he was going to tell anyone about it, it would be Bast. He wondered what she would think.
