Guppy comes into the bar carrying a large parcel, which he takes outside and places in an open space. He then gets his swiss army knife and very carefully bores two small holes in the cardboard. Through these he passes a piece of string, which he knots carefully. With the blade of the knife he cautiously makes a few cuts in the packing tape, then takes the long piece of string towards the trees. He throws it over a tall branch, takes the end, stands behind the tree and pulls hard.
When the lid of the box opens without it exploding, he counts to sixty seconds then cautiously approaches the package with a long stick.
He pokes the box.
When no poisonous snakes come out he decides it's safe to poke at the contents with the stick. It comes out stuck to an iced bun.
He peers over the edge of the lid and relaxes. He picks up the box and takes it back inside, sitting at the nearest booth and opening the letter contained.
Dear Gurpreet,
I wish you would let me talk to you. I'm sure those horrible people won't notice.
You look so terribly thin and unwell that I'm sure you're not eating properly. You're all skin and bone. I made you some yummy food to try and fatten you up a bit.
Please come and see me.
Nana.
Inside the box are various types of cakes and loaves, all long-lasting, some packets of herbal tea and some knitted blue mittens.

She smiles at Guppy, watching him with the present. After a minute, she walks over, with two cups of tea.
"Good morning," She says softly.

Oh crap, I bet she heard about me getting arrested.
"Hey." he says quietly. "Thanks."
He sips the tea. "How are you?"

Besides, you're here.
He knows he might not be able to keep it up for long, but there is a very good reason to try in front of him. He passes her an iced bun.

But please, I resigned my commission. So don't call me 'General'. And perhaps I'll just call you Guppy?" Lando is not one for titles, but got in the habit at Cloud City of calling any and all doctors - even the med-droids "Doctor".

He raises his eyebrows a little. "Quiet?"

"I assume, being from Earth in Amanda's time, that you have never been on a spacecraft.
"Spacecraft are noisy. And not merely with people. Engines, air compressors, a variety of devices running constantly. We get accustomed to it, naturally, but when you leave the ship, you begin to notice just how overwhelming it can be."

"We do have oxygen in our ships. Hard to breathe without it." Lando says this stragihtfaced.

Guppy looks up, putting the rock cakes back in.
"Battle went okay I take it? I've only seen two major casualties."

Looking at the box, "What is that?" And really next-time he's worried about a box he can always just have Amanda open it.

He hands her the note. "It's from my grandmother."

How sweet. Amanda thinks that she would like Guppy's Grandmother. "She's right." Amanda observes, "You do need to put some meat on those bones of yours."
