Guppy leads Amanda through the door into his home, starting from the bedroom.

"I'm sorry about the mess." he says, scooping up a Sphynx kitten that is intruding his personal space. "Prawn, you're not allowed in here, come downstairs."

Comments

"Sometimes he has to learn to hold back." Frogspawn says. "He's no good to people if he gets hurt. But I love him and I know he'll find a balance."

[immortalthief]

"I think he is doing a great job and I think you and Alexander will help." she adds, "But it's still important to be able to defend yourself."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well, the boys help him with that, and he helps me."

[immortalthief]

Amanda nods taking a moment to just enjoy the tea and company.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy comes back downstairs.

"Out like a light." he reports. "I've set the moniter up."

[immortalthief]

"Welcome back." she greets him.

"The monitor?" she still has alot to learn.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Baby moniter, so we can hear if he cries."

[immortalthief]

"How does that work?" she can't help but be distracted.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Have you heard of radios?"

[immortalthief]

Amanda thinks and then slowly nods, "Yes, that's right. I remember those."

[guppy_sandhu]

"It's like that, only from upstairs to downstairs."

[immortalthief]

"Oh I see." she grins happy with herself.

Another sip of her tea.

"You have a very warm home."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy laughs.

"Thank you. Well it's late spring now and we like to keep it cosy for Alex."

[immortalthief]

Amanda smiles at the sound of his laugh.

"Thank you for bringing me here." her words are dripping with sincerity.

[guppy_sandhu]

"You're welcome."

"Bar guests are always welcome." Frogspawn says. "Keeps me entertained."

[immortalthief]

Amanda chuckles, "Does he bring guests home often?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"He does usually warn me if they're staying over." Frogspawn says. "He's generally well behaved."

[immortalthief]

"I would expect nothing less from Guppy."

"But you do see to it that he has some fun every once in a while I hope."

[guppy_sandhu]

"We have plenty of that." Guppy reassures her. "Childrearing is a good distraction."

[immortalthief]

Amanda nods with a bit of seriousness though it's mared by the smile.

"Good to hear it."

[guppy_sandhu]

"How have things been for you Amanda?"

[immortalthief]

"Aside from missing Milliways wonderful. I've been travelling. Seeing the world."

Turning her head to stare out the window her mind goes far away, "Life is one adventure after another." She starts telling them about her time in Spain. About how she stole a ruby the size of her fist from a warlord. She stole his horse to get away and his vow to watch her bleed to death at his feet.

[guppy_sandhu]

Frogspawn raises her eyebrows somewhat.

"Wow, you make my life sound boring."

[immortalthief]

Amanda returns to the present and gazes at Frogspawn with a warm smile, "My time is much different from your." she points out, "This" she gestures around, "Is a wonderful life. But it just doesn't seem to be the life for me."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Everyone's different." Guppy says.
