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."

"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.

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah, I've heard it all."

"So he's who Claire was holding." She gives a little wave. "Hey, Seth."

[ooc: no problem!]

"Yup." He waves Seth's fist again and says in the baby-voice, "Hiya there, Shannon."

He giggles. Sometimes, yes, he actually is five.

She smiles.

"He's cute." She means Seth, but right now, she thinks Charlie's being pretty cute, too.

"Yeah, we like him." He shifts Seth so Shannon can see his face better. "I think he looks like Claire. Mostly it's the eyes."

She peers at the little face. "Yeah, he does."

"So how are you settling in? Are you staying or going back and forth?"

"I was going back and forth, but your brother said I could stay, thank God. Tell me if you see any staff members, okay?"

"Staff are usually behind the bar when they're on duty, but you can get a key from the Bar herself."

"'The Bar herself?' That is way too frickin' weird."

"The Bar is sentient." He adds after a moment, "And engaged."

"Engaged. You're kidding." She starts to laugh, because what else can you do?

"To a Broom. Also sentient. I've heard there's a sink that talks too, or summat, but I'm not sure. I don't spend much time in the kitchen."

A Bar and a Broom. "I bet they're really cute together."

"They're adorable.

"This is a very strange place. Wonderful, but bloody strange."

"You're telling me."

"Have you seen Sayid? He's been coming in sometimes."

"Yeah, that's what Claire said. I haven't seen him, though." She does, however, smile at the mention of his name.

"Well, I'm sure he'll be around. Or you'll catch each other on the island. Did anyone tell you about the thing with time? It kind of . . . stops. While you're here. Or skips a bit, I think sometimes."

"Yeah." She shakes her head. "Weird. Just another weird thing about this place."

"Welcome to the end of the universe, love." He smiles at her and nuzzles Seth.

"It's a strange place." She smiles back.

"I guess I'll be leaving. 'Night, Charlie." She leans toward the baby. "Good night, Seth."

"Good night." He makes Seth's hand wave goodbye.
