Guppy is in the bar, in a booth near the trilobite tank. Getting on the scales yesterday and finding out he'd lost a stone and a half in the last three months has been enough to get him eating properly again, so he is now having a nice-looking pasta dish, with tuna and sweetcorn, ~~much nicer than what the mun had for lunch~~. Since his appetite is pretty much proportional to his mood, this is a good sign.
Now and again he passes small pieces of tuna down to Scampi, who is playing with a clockwork mouse under the table.

There is no time when Scampi wont get Amanda's attention. First she notices Scampi then Guppy. In a very sincerly good mood Amanda walks over to Guppy's booth, "Mind if I join you?"

Guppy looks up and smiles.

"Good morning Amanda. Not at all, pull up a chair."

And she does.

Taking a seat and catching a wiff of the aroma of his food, "That smells wonderful."

Guppy nods.

"It's nice. Do you want some? I've not had a very good appetite lately and I really need to start eating more."

"No thank you. I think I'm in the mood for something a little more sweet." when she manages to wave down a wait-rat she orders her usual bowl of fruit and OJ.

"Anything I can do to help in that endeavor just let me know." she offers.

"Thanks. I'm okay at the moment but if my weight falls to below nine stone I authorise you to force feed me."

WIth a nod, "Got it." followed by a smile

"What are you up to today?" starting in on the normal polite small talk. Her goal for the day is to avoid as much drama as possible. [OOC:(LOL, like that's going to happen)]

"Well I was going to go to the shops to replace my shopping, but I don't want to ask Abs to come because he's been acting very strangely. I think the gang might be hurting him too, but he's not telling me because he thinks it will frighten me."

With a smile, "Well as always I'm willing to go with you. Safety in numbers and all." raising her hand, "I promise I will behave."

Guppy considers, finishing his lunch.

"Yes please. It would only be for an hour. Are you sure you don't mind?"

"Not at all." she says with a smile. She really does like being able to help. Especially since it's her fault that he has to go back to the store.

Guppy nods and smiles gratefully.

"Thanks. We'd better get going then. You will want to wrap up warm, it's snowing. Come on Scamps."

He goes to the door and holds it open for her.
