Liam walks in, once again with Megan sitting on his shoulders.

It may be noted that he's watching where he walks, and he doesn't put Megan on the floor just yet.

"All good things." Esk agrees. "Have you met Seth yet?"

Blank stare.

Liam shakes his head. "Not yet. She's only been in once since he was born, and Claire didn't bring him down - I didn't like to disturb them. Seth's your new cousin, Meggie", he explains to the little girl.

Esk nods. "Sorry, I forgot. Are you looking forward to meeting him, Megan?"

Megan nods, beaming.

She grins at her, turning to Liam briefly.

"Have you seen Meg since last night? The ballerina?"

"Not since last night... why?"

"She was ill, that's all. I left her in the care of her friend - the Klatchian looking girl with dark skin? - but I wanted to check how she was this morning."

"I'll keep an eye out for her", Liam promises with a slightly worried frown.

"Thanks," Esk replies, masking her own worry, before turning to Megan. "So what do you like to do, sweetheart?"

"Sandpit!" Megan answers instantly. "Val'tine..."

"She was talking to Val yesterday", Liam clarifies. "I think she's been promised a sandpit here."

Esks eyes widen and her eyebrows raise.

"What's that, just a pit with sand in it?"

"And toys. Things to dig with, or make sandcastles. You'd be amazed how much fun a kid can have just with a lot of sand and some bits of plastic."

"But essentially just a big litterbox?" she insists.

"Well. Yes, if you want to put it like that."

"Okay. Well, check none of the multitude of cats we have around here has found it before she has," Esk warns.

Liam nods with a slight smile.

"Definitely. I'm sure Val'll think of something to keep them away."

"Good," Esk grins at the girl again. "Has she seen the trilobites?"

He blinks. "Trilobites?"

Megan looks interested.

Esk grins and walks over to the trilbite tank nearby.

"They've all got names, but for the life of me I can't remember what they are. The big one's Yvette, and the squid's called Julietta."

[OOC: and I go home. See you later]

Liam follows her, carrying Megan.

"Where did they come from?"

[ooc: same here. back in a while!]

"Sooty and I pulled them up. He wanted to show Meg what they were and I was just seeing if I could."

Megan is watching the trilobites and squid intently. Liam looks impressed.

"That's quite some magic."

"No, it isn't. It's just teleportation over space-time. Not even that, as I sent something back. Just a switch.

"I've seen other wizards do far more impressive things while here."

He shrugs.

"More than anyone can do in my world, that I know of."

"Yeah, but your world has science, which is a lot more organised and just as interesting as magic."
