Here's a sweet sight: brother- and sister-in-law having tea and a chat by the fireplace while Neice plays at their feet.

[ooc: yup, multi-pup thing. Tag Charlie or Karen or both.]

Karen starts. "Who--oh. Is that your invisible boyfriend again?"

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," Charlie says, beaming.

"I'm right here, dork," and he turns visible in time to wrap arms around Charlie's shoulders and kiss the back of his head.

"Hey." he greets the rest of the assembled. Excepf for Megan, who gets a pat to the head and the very simple beginnings of a Secret Handshake.

Megan grins and giggles--Darien is her favorite of Uncle Charlie's friends.

"Hello, light of my life," Charlie says dryly, tilting back his head.

[ooc: heading home in 5.]

"Hello, beautiful," he corrects smoothly.

"Much, much better," Charlie says and cuddles into him. "What've you been up to?"

He shrugs.

"Nothing much. I was outside for a little while. Did some stuff in a tree. You?"

He gestures to Karen. "Catching up. Filling in the details of my sordid past and what I did during the year of my supposed death."

"It's been fascinating," Karen adds. "If not always child-friendly."

Charlie tries to look abashed. He fails.

"Well... no, not really."

A kiss to Charlie's cheek. All very up and up.

"But we love him anyway."

Charlie grins and cuddles deeper into Darien, very pleased.

Whisk.

That is the sound of Darien nabbing a Charlie and waving briskly before carting him off.

"See you guys later," Charlie calls, waving. "When he lets me come up for air."

Karen waves back and calls Megan to her. "Time to go home, honey. Charlie and Darien are going to, um, play some grownup games now."
