Claire is by the fire. She is reading to Seth from Winnie-the-Pooh. Seth is pretending to focus on the moving pictures. Really though he's just trying to break his own record of five consecutive spit bubbles.

Ace makes a face.
"I'm not so grand at grammar and writing, so you'd best leave me out of it. And math... the simple stuff's fine, but calculus is painful. A torture device."

Ace laughs.
"Sometimes I wished I'd paid more attention in those classes. It might have come in useful."

"Yeah. He beat me at backgammon. And he threw me in the lake. But I dunked him back, so it's fair." She smirks. "Seems like an alright bloke."

"That's right. You've got a picnic up your sleeve." She grins back. "I wonder if I can bribe a few magic users..." The grin turns positively wicked. "Well... there is one..."

"It's not amount. It's quality of the bribe." Ace retorts, fighting valiently against the blush.

"Not a one. Poor boyo. He thinks the nitro is the only explosive thing around." It may be a losing battle, but Ace is one who never says die!

...

She does say 'HEEEEEELP!' quite a bit though.

"You laughin' at me now, Seth? Sheesh, everyone's a critic..." She mock grouses, actually becoming brave enough to tickle a little foot while still having her arms full of fiddly baby.

"Oh, he's definitely a very opinionated little fellow. God help us all when he learns how to talk." She grins, and tickles his other foot. My, but Ace is a brave cookie.

"Yeeeagh.." Ace takes a tighter grip on the wiggly baby. Fiddly babies, the downfall of the mighty Ace.
"Yes. Spoiled. With the whole of the bar wrapped around those tiny fingers, how can you think otherwise?" she replies once she feels mostly confident that Seth isn't going to take a header.

"You think he's crawlin' away from you on the sly and partying the night away? Seth..." she looks down at the baby-ruler of the bar. "You're supposed to keep that sort of thing quiet. Didn't anyone teach you how to be a proper delinquent? It doesn't work if the parents catch on too quick."

"Errr..." She pauses, and leans down to stage-whisper in Seth's ear. "Sorry mate, your mum's gonna make me squeal. She's a hard one, eh?"

Ace yelps when Seth snags her hair, but manages not to lose her grip on the wiggly baby. Go Ace.
"What can I say. I'm a slave to the spit-bubble." She snarks as Claire gets her hair free.
