In Walks An Immortal

[immortalthief]

It has been a while since Milliways has seen this immortal.

The door opens and in walks a woman dressed for the 1600s. When she see's where she is a large smile crosses her face and she takes another step inside before closing the door behind her. WIth a quick glance around for anyone she might know before heading to the bar itself where she orders a glass of wine.

"Hey Amanda!" Guppy gives her a wave.

He has the smallest of his three kids on his knee; Brooke is engaged in nomming gummily on a rusk.

[immortalthief]

Amanda takes her drink and walks over to Guppy so he doesn't have to disturb the little one.

"Hi Guppy"

[ooc: going to dinner will thread more when I get back.]

[guppy_sandhu]

"Come join us, how are you?" Guppy asks.

[immortalthief]

Amanda takes a seat, "Thank you. I am doing well. How about yourself?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Good thanks." Guppy says. And it's pretty much true today, since Fran dragged him to the doctor and made him change his medication.

"Eh!" Brooke says.

[immortalthief]

"Glad to hear it." she says with a warm smile.

"Hello There" she greets the little one, "And what is your name?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"This is Brooklyn." Guppy says. "Have you two not met yet?"

[immortalthief]

"I don't think we have." she tries to think back.

"How are things back home?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Fran broke her foot a couple of weeks ago." Guppy says. "Other than that we're okay."

He passes Brooke over to her for a cuddle, since Brooke is reaching out. Unlike Coral, who was tiny and ex-prem, Brooke is a strong, well-built infant.

[immortalthief]

Amanda reaches out to cuddle the little thing, "Hello there Brooke." trying to talk to the child like an adult at which she is only partially successful, "That is unfortunate, though she should be alright I would guess, with all of your medical capability." she smiles down at the child, "And how about here, how are things in Milliways?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"I'm planning to use the bone fuser on it as soon as it would be subtle enough to do so." Guppy says.

He hesitates. Things at Milliways haven't been great, but he doesn't want to worry her when Security are tackling it, or to cause more trouble for Autor if he's innocent.

"I've been having some anxiety problems again." he admits. That part is true anyway. "Fran took me to the doctor and I got my medication changed. Been getting a few side effects."

[immortalthief]

Amanda notes the hesitation but doesn't push for details knowing he would say something if he could or thinks she should know.

"What sort of side effects?" as nonchalantly as she can, after all she doesn't want to concern the baby on her lap.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Nausea and dizzy spells mostly." Guppy says quietly. "But it's been over a week now so I'm starting to feel better."

[immortalthief]

Amanda turns to the bar and orders some ginger tea, when it appears she moves it in Guppy's direction, "Drink this, it should help with the nausea and dizziness." ... "Come on drink up." she insists.

[guppy_sandhu]

Small smirk. "I'm not nauseous at this exact moment, because it comes in waves, but thank you." He sips it.

"I used to get the same problem when I changed dose with my old medication so it's not something I can't live with. And now I'm the boss I have more opportunity to have a quiet moment in the office."

[immortalthief]

"Congratulations!" she exclaims. "That is wonderful." she is very proud. "You have a wonderful family, you are moving up in the world, that is wonderful."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy grins sheepishly.

"It's a one year contract, but thank you. I'm hoping to apply for my former boss' job when he retires next year."

[immortalthief]

"I'm sure that you will get it." she says gleefully. "Just be sure to take plenty of time for yourself and your family. They are quite precious." and she give Brooklyn a kiss on the cheek.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I get more time with them now." Guppy says. "I don't have to do evenings and I only do one weekend in eight."

[immortalthief]

Amanda nods, "That is wonderful." she looks down at Brooklyn, "Life always moves forward."

[guppy_sandhu]

"How's life for you?" Guppy asks, as Brooklyn offers the nice lady a cuddle.

[immortalthief]

"Life is at it always is, moving forward." she smiles, "I'm still in Italy deciding what I want to do next."

[guppy_sandhu]

"It certainly goes fast." Guppy says. "I can't believe Coral will be three in a month."

[immortalthief]

"Three already? Wow. Time passes too quickly." she bounces Brooklyn on her knee a bit.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I know. Fry will be five in November." Guppy says. "Today he made me explain what an apostrophe is for."

[immortalthief]

"How did that go?" she chuckles happy to be back.
