[coreenfennel]

Coreen has successfully constructed her potato launcher. It seems to be in as good working order as anything else she's created, and looks to be an improvement on the one she has back home. She will probably make some modifications to the basic design once she knows it works properly. As it stands, she's carrying a large basket of potatoes, with

Amanda is out like normal working out. She is walking by unaware of the danger lurking around the corner. She walks out from behind a tree just as a potatoe is heading her way. Amanda turns just in time and slices at the potatoe just before it hits her slicing it in half.

She stands there a moment alert and then she notices Coreen and she relaxes standing up. A broad smile spreads across her face, "Good Afternoon." The immortal sheaths her sword as she moves closer.

[coreenfennel]

Coreen's eyes are huge. She thought that the potato was going to hit her. "Oh gosh, Amanda, I didn't see you. I'm sorry!"

She sets the launcher on top of the basket.

[immortal_now]

Amanda shakes her head, "Nothing to worry about."

When she gets close enough she gives her friend a hug, "It is good to see you."

[coreenfennel]

She hugs back enthusiastically. "It's good to see you too. How are you?"

She finally lets go, and wipes the grime on her shorts. The quick braid is falling out, so she quickly redoes it.

[immortal_now]

"As always, I am doing well."

"Here allow me." she moves to fix the braid, "I've had some experience."

"How are you doing?"

[coreenfennel]

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm sorry for falling to pieces the last time we spoke. I was a little shocked."

She nods, consenting. "Thank you. Between you and Joe when he's around, I should never need to braid my hair. He used to help the woman than did hair acrobatics braid her hair in the circus. Granted it's a lot more ornate than just a simple working braid, but it's nice sometimes."

She pauses.

"Still no heart, and no Joe, but we're good. Saw Guppy, and everything's okay."

[immortal_now]

"Your pregnant, your allowed." she continues to smile warmly at the woman.

Amanda gets to work on a clean braid. Chuckling, "Well I've been a handmaiden for many a noble."

"Glad to hear it. In fact I brought something for you. Though I left it back inside so remind me to give it to you when we get back." she gestures for Coreen to have a seat.

[coreenfennel]

She smiles wryly. "Well, give it another month and I won't have that excuse. I'll have 'I haven't slept in weeks because of my newborn' instead." She hopes.

"Handmaiden...I bet that can work in your favor when it comes time to life things...knowing where they are?"

Coreen takes a seat. "Oh, thank you, Amanda."

[immortal_now]

Amanda chuckles, "And still people will understand."

"Yes I have some experience in that as well." she offers Coreen, "Though Guppy is far more qualified then I."

Amanda takes a seat next to Coreen.

[coreenfennel]

She smiles and then quirks. "What do you mean about Guppy?" This has got to be interesting.

[immortal_now]

"Guppy is a doctor who has delivered more babies then I." that is all she meant.

[coreenfennel]

"Ah, yeah, he's going to be the one delivering, unless something unforeseen happens. I don't want unforeseen happening."

There's been enough of that going around anyway.

"I think he's going to put me on bed rest before too awfully long. You'll have to stop by upstairs to keep me company."

[immortal_now]

"Well I will stay in Milliways until your child is born if that will make you feel better."

"I'll visit as often as Guppy will allow."

[coreenfennel]

"Really? You'd stick around for that? Thank you Amanda," she hugs Amanda tightly.

"I'll talk to him."

[immortal_now]

"Of course." she returns the hug.

"Thank you."

[coreenfennel]

"If you ever need anything, and I can provide it, you let me know."
