It's a guitarist with a baby in a booth, having tummy time.

"Oh yeah? And then what happened?"

Tiny voice speaking nonsense syllables, mostly vowels.

"You showed 'em! Tell me more."

More vowels and a little squeak.

Charlie laughs. "Aren't you clever, Peanut. And droolly. Decidedly droolly."

Nita is drawn by the irresistible baby magnetism. She grins at Charlie and Seth and "awwws" silently.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie grins back and nudges Seth's chin as he wipes up some drool. "Hullo. Can you smile and say hi, Sethie?"

Alas, Sethie cannot, but he kicks his heels a little in compensation.

[nita_callahan]

"Seth, huh? Good name." She waves at Seth. "Hiya, Seth. I'm Nita."

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie makes Seth wave a fist in greeting. "Hiya," he says in his squeaky-baby voice. "This is my da, Charlie."

[nita_callahan]

Nita laughs. "Well, your da has a fine-looking son. How old are you, Seth?"

There's a former singer and a little girl, sitting in the booth opposite the others, now.

"Hey," Charlie says and Seth blinks his eyes sleepily, laying his head on Charlie's chest. Lifting it up and looks around is just so tiring.

"Hey", Liam says with a smile. Megan is watching Seth, enraptured as usual.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Seth's crib was in the main room when I came in last night," Charlie says mildly. "With a baby monitor, of course. I think Claire got a little joy last night."

Shannon walks over and inwardly squeals at the baby. "Hi."

[bloodyrockgod]

"Hey--hey! Shannon! When'd you get here?"

Seth squeals outwardly. Pay attention to me!

[comma-sticks.livejournal.com]

"Last Wednesday."

She smiles at the baby.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Well, cool. Guess you've gotten the speech and all, then?

"Have you met Seth? Claire's son?" He waves a fist at Shannon, and Seth adds a burble.

It's a Knight with a baby at the bar. He's eating.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie nods in a friendly fashion, as men with babies are hardly a strange sight in Milliways now.

[opalcity-star.livejournal.com]

He gives a wave and starts feeding Kyle from some food he asked the bar for.

"You Charlie?"

[bloodyrockgod]

"I am--who're you?" Just a slight tensing at that, though he keeps a friendly smile.

Ron happened to be passing by, tray floating behind him, when he spotted Seth.

In the arms of someone that wasn't Claire.

The tray fell onto a table with a noticeable clatter and he turned his wand on the man--only to see it was Charlie. He breathed an immense sigh of relief, and his wand hand dropped to his side, as he held his other hand to his heart.

"OhthankMerlin."

Paranoid much, Ronniekins?

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie watches this with wide eyes, and breathes a quiet sigh of relief when the wand hand drops.

"Er, hey there, Ron. All's well, we're just giving Mum a rest."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_our_king_/]

Ron looked sheepish. "Sorry. I just saw that you weren't Claire and I...panicked."

He looked over at the baby. "I saw Claire and him when she was bartending. She seems a lot better."

Considering that she'd been absolutely hysterical and terrified the time Ron had seen her before that, it hadn't been hard for her to seem better.

"And he seems happy. That's good," he said awkwardly.

"Er, you...alright?" he asked, somewhat hesitantly.

[bloodyrockgod]

"I'll live," he says quietly, but smiling. "Won't I, Sethie? Yes indeed!" He blows raspberries on Seth's plump tummy, which makes the baby squeal.

*Moiraine glides over, with a serene smile.*

Good evening, Charlie.

[bloodyrockgod]

"Moiraine!" He grins at her widely. "How are you this evening? Have you met Seth?"

[blue_ajah]

I am well, at present.

*She smiles down at the baby.*

I have met him briefly last night, with Mike, at Indy's party; but it is good to see him, and you, in a calmer environment.

How are matters with you?

[bloodyrockgod]

"They're better.

"Would you like to hold him? He's pretty mellow."
