I usually fill at home and carry 2-3 pens if I'm going to a conference or something where I may write a lot. However, if I do need to fill on the go, I carry ink vials instead of bottles (the smaller vials don't need a big, clear space to be used for refilling) and a couple of wipes. Dip the pen, suck up ink, wipe the section, done. I usually don't even get any on my fingers, and if I were really worried about it I'd carry ink nix or amodex to wash it off before it stained.

Fountain pens aren't as messy as you may think.

Stains! Refilling needs skills, lol.
