Guppy has a small, open cardboard box with him today.

If you listen carefully, it's meowing.

He's on the lookout for Amanda specifically, but if you should want to look at six week old kittens, feel free to stop by. The proud daddycat is under the table.

[ooc: ~~Disappearing briefly. Back in 45 mins (midnight GMT, 7pm EST)]~~

[OOC: am only on for about an hour but how could I not.]

Thus far Amanda is unaware that Guppy has entered the bar. In fact she doesn't even yet know of the troubles that have ben affecting her friends as of late. Rather she is sitting by the fire reading a book.

Something very soft and fluffy is placed on her shoulder.

It meows quietly in her ear.

Yes he has his hand around it just in case.

That's good because it does startle her but when she turns her head to see those cute eyes staring at her she smiles and takes him into her hand. Holding him gently to her warm cheek.

[OOC: tomorrow will have to work on making some kitten icons.]

Guppy smiles and gently lowers the second kitten into her lap.

"Six weeks old today. Ready when you are."

"Oh I am so ready." her heart warming as she lets them rest and play in her hands. "You two will look out for eachother right?" her eyes beaming down at them.

"You will join us wont you?" she cant gesture as her hands are full at the moment.

"Of course."

He smiles tiredly as he sits next to her.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you much lately. Shufti settling in well?"

"I've been around..I think." she smiles tiredly, "Suppose I haven't. There has been alot to do back home. Setting up a new identity and all. Still haven't decided where I want to go or what I want to do yet."

Amanda thinks about it, "Yes I think she is settling well."

"Good, poor kid needs a bit of security and stability in her life."

He smiles "New identity? You look tired."

"Yes, I've been around too long. People are going to notice the fact that I haven't aged in the last decade. So the time for moving on is approaching." there is a frown. She is rather enjoying being a business owner again. "SO there is preperation that must be tended to. Will, insurance, transfering funds, new paperwork, finding a location, and more."

Nodding in agreement, "Yes she does. Fortnately I wont be moving on too soon." she smiles thinking about Shufti.

[OOC: I have to go. Will be back tomorrow.]

"She certainly looks a little more relaxed." Guppy says, glancing over at the young mum across the bar.

"I doubt people would notice over a decade."

"Perhaps not. Consider that I have only been a business owner for about that long. Before that I was an international art theif. Which means that the police might notice over lets say twenty to thirty years." she offers.

"Well yes, that's true. But with all this ID stuff around it must be getting harder to change person."

Amanda nods, "It is." honestly doesn't help that she travels so much because it get far more difficult to hide after that. But with a smile, "Looks like I am going to be retiring to a tropical island."

The kittens play in her hands.

Guppy smiles.

"Got any names yet?"

"For me no. Maybe Barbara? what do you think?" lookingdown at the kittens, "I think I'll call her Ice and him Fire." she says, seeming a little cliche perhaps but she likes it.

Guppy snerks a little.

"I thought you meant the kitten then. Yes, Ice and Fire are nice names."

He looks her over.

"I don't really think you're a Barbara. It sounds too old for you."

Amanda laughs, "Thank you. Hmm" she thinks for a moment and then shrugs, "Something will come to me I'm sure."

"Thank you." she indicates the kittens, "They are sweet."

[OOC: sorry can't rememebr how you described them?]

[ooc: One black female, one blonde male. But since sexes are hard to tell at that age you can change if you like]

Guppy laughs.

"Yeah, I'll keep thinking. Trouble is, you look like an Amanda to me."

[OOC: sounds good.]

"Been an Amanda for a long time. I'll think of something. At least I can always be Amanda here."

"How about Mandy?"

He tilts his head. "Is Amanda your real name?"

"That could work." mulling it over.

Nodding, "or at least it's the name I had before I became an immortal." that's why she always introduces herself that way.

Guppy nods. His pager makes a noise like a mosquito, startling the cat collection.

"I have to go, take care sis."

He gives the kittens a last scritch then departs.

Guppy has attracted a curious onlooker.

"Cats?"

Guppy looks up and smiles.

"These two are for a friend, the large black one's mine."

"I see."

He's not interested in pets. He has a pet mechanical dragon in his room. Made of spoons. Or something. But one does not often see people carting a menagerie through Milliways. The occasional extraordinarily rude horse, maybe, but not multiple animals.

"Her kittens?" he asks, gesturing towards Scampi.

Scampi purrs and rubs against Faramir.

"His kittens, yes. Sort of an accident."

He extends a hand. "Dr Guppy Sandhu, nice to meet you."

Faramir takes the hand and shakes it in a swift, businesslike gesture. "I am Faramir of Gondor. And happy to meet you. You work in the infirmary, do you not?" He smiles at the cat and reaches to scritch him. "I have heard your name."

"Good to meet you Faramir. And yes, I work part time here and full time back home. Good things or bad?"

"Neither, really. Only in passing. There is a woman I know in the infirmary, and I seem to think I once saw a staff list of everyone who holds a position in the bar." He nods down to the badge on his belt. "I'm on backup Security."

"Always good to know a Security chap." Guppy says, gesturing to the empty seat in front of him.

"Who is it that you know in the infirmary?"

He hasn't admitted anyone over the last few days. Normally if he does he will stay there overnight to keep an eye on them, Holby permitting.

"A woman named Eowyn. She has been there quite some time. Since she arrived, in fact. She is recovering from the Black Breath and a broken arm."

It may be the look in his eyes, it may be the way he says her name, but it's obvious he's utterly lovestruck.

Guppy nods ~~despite the fact that his mun has completely missed Eowyn being admitted and hadn't even heard of her until now~~.

"I've seen her around. But she isn't my patient so I couldn't tell you anything about her progress, even if you were a relative. Do you know whoe's treating her?"
