There is a cool breeze from the door as Guppy comes in; a light drizzle dusting everything in a damp and annoying fashion. He quickly closes the door, runs a handkerchief through his hair to remove excess moisture, and goes over to the bar.

"Tea please." he says, putting a gentle hand on her varnish. She obliges, also giving him an apple. He smiles slightly, thanks her and takes them over to near the fire.

Soeless, sitting with her feet up in a chair, Ravin is near the fireplace, working away in another drawing...

[guppy_sandhu]

A polite nod and smile from Guppy as he sips his drink.

"Good evening."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

A glance up, raised eyebrow... not used to people being nice, not yet. "hi."

[guppy_sandhu]

He smiles a little.

"Dreadful weather out there."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"I like it." A shrug. Yes, she is drawing the rain... trees, the lake, a paved road winding into the distance...

[guppy_sandhu]

He glances over at the drawing.

"So I see. That's very good."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

A nod... adding details, shadows under the trees, humanoid shadows hiding... "Ravin."

[guppy_sandhu]

He glances around the drawing.

"I don't see one."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Ra-vIn..." He will get it. Probably.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh, sorry, I beg your pardon. Nice to meet you Ravin, I'm Guppy."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"That's a fish." Obvious...

[guppy_sandhu]

"It's short for Gurpreet."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"I like Gurpreet. Sounds like a real name."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well nobody around here really calls me that. Or at home, apart from my mum and my grandma."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Names are important..."

[guppy_sandhu]

He nods.

"Yes, they are. And I prefer Guppy if you don't mind."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Why?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Because I do."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

Ravin blinks... then shrugs. "As you wish."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thank you."

He smiles a little and sips his tea.

"Have you been here long?"

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Twenty-two days." Still drawing...

[guppy_sandhu]

A small wince.

"Are you Bound by any chance?"

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I am." Drawing... making the rain stronger, adding lightning...

[guppy_sandhu]

"And not happy about it I take it."

[lichvell-r.livejournal.com]

"You would?"
