There are a pair of feet (socks, blue with bunnies) poking over the end of a sofa.

Attached to the socks is Guppy, who has his headphones in and is humming something that sounds suspiciously like 'The lion sleeps tonight'.

The doctor is in.

Belle sneaks over, grinning evilly. She hasn't noticed who the feet belong to yet, but, there are feet with no shoes, and she means to tickle them.

Sneaky Belle has come for your feet, Guppy!

[guppy_sandhu]

"Aargh!" He jumps, the cd player leaping off his stomach and landing in a discarded plate covered in doughnut jam.

[poisonwine]

Belle blinks and looks up. "Oh! Sorry Doctor." And she does look somewhat penitent. "Y' okay?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Um, yes." He fishes out his walkman. "Sorry, hello."

[poisonwine]

She chuckles and offers her handkerchief. "How y' been?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thanks." He wipes the walkman down. He doesn't look like he actually slept since they last met. "I'm okay thanks, how are you?"

[poisonwine]

"Tired, but not bad. Been a stressful week. Whacha been up to?"

She perches on the couch arm, smiling at him, head tilted.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Work mainly. We're still a consultant down so I pulled a couple of doubles. But I get a day off tomorrow. I'm taking my grandmother ten pin bowling."

[poisonwine]

She grins. "That's sweet o' y'. Glad y' gettin' some time off, though workin' so hard befo'hand's no fun. Been gettin' at least a little sleep?"

[guppy_sandhu]

A small smile.

"My grandmother's the only one of my family who still speaks to me. It's worth letting her win for."

Slight fidgetting. "A little.

[poisonwine]

She nods at the first, looking sympathetic, the arching a delicate eyebrow at him. "Y' should get some sleep befo' y' play, den."

What is it with men and not sleeping?

[guppy_sandhu]

"I don't think the next patient who attacks me will wait for me to have a kip." he points out. "Besides, it's um... complicated. When I get stressed, I don't really sleep. Much. Or at all at times. I don't have a huge amount of control over it. It'll settle in time. I got more last night than I have the rest of the week. Zhaan fed me chamomile."

[poisonwine]

She nods and sighs. "I know how dat is."

Oh yeah, she knew really well.

There is a young blonde girl standing at the end of his couch, watching him with a mix of concerned features. She would truly like to know how her friend is, but she knows Doctors are quite busy, thus getting so very little down time, so she can't figure out whether she should disturb him from the music or not.

[guppy_sandhu]

As soon as he spots her, he takes the headphones out.

"Hello. Can I help you?"

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

"I..umm," she faltered, very much not watching the world around him shiver with pictures of a different world. "I met up a while ago, in the infirmary with Zhaan."

She rubbed one of her tennis shoes on the ground, but never looked away from him. "I was wondering if I could get an update on George's medical condition."

[guppy_sandhu]

He sits up properly.

"I'm Dr Guppy Sandhu, I work with Zhaan. Are you a relative?"

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

"I work with Zhaan, and the infirmary, sort of, but, no," Allie shook her head. "I'm not a relative."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh hang on, I remember you, you were on work experience or something weren't you?"

He smiles. "Mr Luz should be okay I think, you'd have to ask Zhaan. I don't interfere with other people's patients unless it's an emergency."

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

Allie nodded when he remembered her suddenly, but added, in the way only nine years old could. "Yes. For now."

She nodded, again, at his words, her shoulders dropping as though to sigh when she didn't. "I have not seen them in days, but I will keep looking then."

[guppy_sandhu]

He smiles apologetically.

"Sorry, that's all I can tell you. Are you in training?"

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

Allie expression agreed to his question, even as she went on.

"I'm in training on work experience until I can locate an adult of similar powers who can supervise me."

She didn't think it would be that simple, not really, but was what Zhaan had said Doctor Simon had said she needed.

[guppy_sandhu]

"What powers are you using, if I may ask?"

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

Allie's brow knit. It was still hard to be forthcoming with this. The events of her past has not made being known a good thing. And Bar was only still changing that very, very slowly.

"Many things," this was said with incredible softness, almost at a whisper.

Blinking, she clarified a small piece. "I want to help in the infirmary because I can heal people."

[guppy_sandhu]

A reassuring smile.

"That's always a good start." He thinks for a moment. "Asar-Suti has healing powers, and Atton can use the force to heal. But neither of them work in the infirmary much or at all at present. Might be worth asking though."
