*pounce* Thats what Amanda does upon sighting Scampi. Oh yes, she recognizes that black cat under the table.

Scampi rolls over to have his tummy tickled. Amanda nearly gets a piece of sausage roll up her nose. Guppy looks under the table.

"Oh hello Amanda. What are you doing down there?"

Amanda oblidges Scampi his every whim. What she has missed him.

She giggles as Scampi is his cute self, "Just playing with the cutest thing in the world." she would know she's travelled around it several times.

Scampi licks her nose. Guppy takes another bite of his dinner.

"Would you like me to feed you titbits as well?" he asks, passing a little bit of sausage down to Scampi.

"That's alright. I already ate. But I'm glad to see you eating."

She giggles again as the lick tickles her nose.

"I have to eat. If I lose two more pounds you'll be allowed to force feed me and I want to avoid that if possible. Hank's persuaded me to let him see me in the infirmary every three days or so so he can keep an eye on me, and when I saw him earlier he said it was slowing down."

"That's good. I don't want to force feed you either. I'm glad hank is helping you too."

she pets Scampi. Knowing full well that she is supposed to be keeping a close eye on him but she just can't resist Scampi.

Guppy nods. "I've been like this far too long."

She dangles her purse strap in front of Scampi to let him play with it.

"Well just take it slowly. You don't want to bindge trying to gain your weight back. Lets keep you nice and healthy."

Guppy nods. "I know what I have to do. That's the advantage of having a bit of biological knowledge."

"And knowing is half the battle. But seriously just because you know something doesn't mean you'll put it into practice. But if you say you'll do it right I believe you."

"Of course it doesn't. But yes, I will try."

He waves a carrot down at her. "See? Protein, fat, carbohydrate and vegetables. And a vitamin enriched strawberry yoghurt."

She would applaud him but her handsare full with Scampi, "Marvelous."

He smiles. "And how are you today?"

"Tired" she answers honestly. THough she wont tell him why otherwise he may never go back to her world again. "But otherwise I'm doing well. Making preperations for the party and all that."

"Gosh, yes I almost forgot. I don't know if I'll be able to come. I'm at work on Christmas day and if I'm in the bar it may not be for long."

"Well if you can stop by that would be nice. There will be a feast and dancing, and general good cheer." she hopes. yes she sounds a little dissappointed.

"I will try. I shall certainly come into the bar at some point, even if it isn't until some ridiculous time in the morning. Sorry Amanda. Christmas day is always so busy."

"I understand. You are going to be saving lives and helping people." she puts her hand on his leg. It would have been his arm if she wasn't still under the table with Scampi, "You're a good man Guppy."

Guppy looks away.

"No I'm not."

At this point she gets off the floor and sits next to him.

She turns to him, "Yes Guppy you are. Whether you are willing to see it or notyou are a good man. You are kind and give so much of yourself to others." as always her voice is sincere and firm.

Guppy fiddles with his sleeve buttons. He won't give her eye contact.

He might not give her eye contact but she gives him a hug. Whatever is bothering him he wont talk about it and she wont press right now but she will hug him.

He leans into the hug gratefully.

Jane Eyre glances over and smiles, seeing teh cat rub against Guppy's leg. It's endearing and reminds her of home, somehow. Or maybe what she would like home to be.

The cat sees her and goes over to her, purring.

Guppy doesn't see her just yet.
