Guppy's 30th Birthday Party

Having collected everyone from the bar, Guppy leads them back through to the house, where they enter through the kitchen.

The living room furniture has been mostly moved out of the way, and that's where the most of the party has been set up. The sofa and some chairs are around the edge of the room, and there's music playing. The kitchen is a bit small so the food is being taken through into the dining room. Also a little on the small side, but enough for purpose. All of the baby gates are open on the ground floor, but not on the stairs.

Upstairs, the spare bedroom has been set aside for any little people at the party. It's a bit quieter, with baby-sized food, some toys, and a DVD of Pingu playing.

"I guess it makes sense. Belar told me all about how there's less food then."

"It's probably for the good of the whole squirrel community," he says. "I mean, sure, I've got thumbs and I can work a can-opener or go to a drive-through, which they can't, but those are recent inventions. In a real hunter-gatherer agrarian kind of life, I'd probably wind up eating the food supply for the whole forest, during the winter. All the stashes of nuts, gone. What would everybody else eat?"

"Dude. That does make sense."

It is a very practical sort of god that you can put away for the season.

"Strangely enough, it does," he grins. "It's not really a problem anymore; I just make sure there's packages of nuts and sunflower seeds and things for them to eat before I go to sleep for the winter. Everybody has food, and if I'm lucky, they've even left me some for when I wake up."

"Sounds good." He jiggles Evan. "Just gotta hope this guy sleeps through. You know what babies are like."

"I think he'll be okay," he says. "Coreen's gonna keep an eye on him, and have Guppy check him out if anything starts to look weird. I'm more worried about him not putting on enough weight beforehand than I am about him waking up in the middle of the winter."

Though looking at Ev, it's hard to imagine him being too small.

Enzo shifts his grip again. "Don't worry, I think he's fine for that," he says wryly.

"Here, let me get him for you," Squirrel says, reaching to take Ev. "He can get pretty heavy after a while, and once he starts squirming..."

He suspects Ev does it on purpose.

"Has Coreen seen you in this form yet? She's downstairs somewhere, if she hasn't..."

"Dude, I can't even remember. I oughta say hi to her anyway, though."

"She'd be grateful for company that's not trying to steal food from her," he grins, scritching Ev behind the ears.

"I guess I can manage that."

"It was good seeing you again," he says. "Hey, you should come on up sometime and play Hippos with us. Always good to have someone who isn't a squirrel."

"As long as it's not a video game, sure!"

"I'm not the video game type," he says.

Mostly because he always loses.

"It's a board game. You'll see, it's a lot of fun."

"Okay, that'd be great! I'll see you later, okay?"

"Will do. Take care."
