[duck_bill]

There is a small... thing attempting the danger-ridden ascent to the top of a Milliways barstool.

Sadly, she is finding, her tail is not prehensile. Not that Ducky is familiar with the word 'prehensile,' and at least it is a helpful bracer in the trickier spots.

Is it YOUR barstool?

[OOC: Because this is surely the anti-doom, y'all. Have at!]

Guppy blinks and looks down.

"Hello there." he says, holding out a hand for the little creature.

[duck_bill]

Ducky looks up.

And up, and up.

And- you get the picture.

"Hello!"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Do you need a hand?" Guppy asks, holding his hand at her level.

[duck_bill]

"Yes, please," she says carefully, eyeing the hand with calculation.

"It is very tricky. Everything here is so big!"

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy leans down and gently picks her up. He puts her on the bar.

"I heard once there was going to be a minibar somewhere." he says, looking around for one.

[duck_bill]

"But then it would still be too little to see the room!" she reasons, beaming around at the view.

Or, you know. Beaming as well as you can with the face of a dinosaur.

[guppy_sandhu]

He smiles. "Yes, you're right. Maybe a ladder would be in order then."

He sips his tea. "I'm Guppy by the way." he says, extending a finger.

[duck_bill]

"It is nice to meet you, Guppy!" says Ducky, shaking the finger with all the assurance of a child's cartoon character in human interactive customs.

"I am called Ducky."

It rhymes! Kinda!

[guppy_sandhu]

"Nice to meet you too Ducky." Guppy replies.

"Are you a dinosaur?"

[duck_bill]

"Yes!" she says, pleased he noticed. "I am a big-mouth."

"Are you a human-pilot?"

The term stuck.

[guppy_sandhu]

"A big mouth?" Guppy grins. "I'm a human, but I'm a doctor, not a pilot."

[duck_bill]

"...So a human-doctor?" she says doubtfully, as if it is an enormous intellectual stretch.

"I see! You do make different sounds."

Human-pilots are far more high-pitched.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Yes, that's right." he smiles.

"And that's probably because I'm British. Most people here aren't."

[duck_bill]

"Bri-tish?" she asks, testing the new word.

"Is that another species?"

What, she's used to multiple species all interacting in one world.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy laughs, but not unkindly.

"Not quite, it's a nationality. Means I'm from Britain."

He sips his tea. "Where are you from?"

[duck_bill]

That first sentence? Meant noooothing to her.

But she doesn't mind!

"I am from the Great Valley! It is outside that door over there."

She never quite grasped that the destination changes.
