Qualifications

Kip waits for Karla to get to the door, noticing her reddened eyes. He nods a little. "Yeah... try to eat a little at least."

He thinks a moment, shifting his weight. "Um... not everyone is here. Just Kyle, Alice, Erik and Twila. And Twila wanted me to apologize for her. She felt bad for coming on so strong earlier, but she really does want to help if you'll let her. We... we all do." He shrugs lamely. "We care about ya and well... sometimes a person just isn't quite sure how to show it properly. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

Leo laughs, his eyes sparkling. "Well I guess I'm glad you're in a dress then..." He gives her a little once-over. "For more than one reason."

Drawing back a little, he takes her hands in his. "Just don't tell the guys that I'm graceful - I'll never hear the end of it."

Eli ambles up behind Ryan, setting his hands on his hips and just shaking his head. "Leo Barnsworth... you're something else." He grins a little. "I was on my way to suggesting some pizza but... if you got a little thing going on back here, I might just head back to the apartment."

Leo shrugs. "We're not gonna have a party until after the last show this weekend. I can leave anytime."

"Well?" Eli looks to his sister. "What do you say? Pizza?"

"Mmm... yeah." JT understood what Amanda was saying, and he could relate. "I know what you mean. I like helping people... but sometimes I have to remind myself that not only am I not God, but I'm not the only doctor that can help people either. I can't kill myself to be in the operating room twenty-four/seven."

He grins as he walks beside her. "Not that I always take my own advice, but it's a good thought."

Breathing in deep, he looks around the ranch, quiet for a few minutes. "So you're picky, huh? What sort of qualifications does a guy have to have with you anyway?"
