Claire is sitting under a tree with Seth today. It's not yet dusk, but the sun isn't nearly so bright out there, and well, it's much cooler than New Orleans.

She's in a pretty good mood too, and thus, so is Seth.

Sera's wandering around outside, her first time out here, breathing in the air. She hasn't smelled air this clean in years.

She sees Claire and her child under a tree, and smiles softly. Sera really misses the kids.

Le sigh.

Claire glances up from playing with Seth and smiles at the other woman.

"Hello," she calls out and offers a little wave.

[simply-sera.livejournal.com]

"Hi." Sera waves back and starts over. She stands there awkwardly for a moment, in her flippy hair, and "boring" (as Chloe says) clothes, which are really just a sweater and a skirt. Then she sticks her hand out, her bracelets tinkling. "I'm Sera Faleur.."

"That's a pretty name," Claire smiles and shakes her hand. "Claire Littleton and this is my son Seth."

She gestures to the empty space beside her on the blanket. "Would you like to join us?"

[simply-sera.livejournal.com]

"Thank you. Yours is nice too." She nods and sits down. "And Seth is gorgeous. I love kids!"

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Thank you very much," she grins. "He loves attention."

She shifts Seth in her lap so he can look at Sera while they talk.

"Have you been in the bar very long?"

[simply-sera.livejournal.com]

Sera gives him a little wave. "Hi there."

She looks up again. "Only a few days. It's all rather new to me still."

Hurley walks up to Claire and Seth, "You're getting big," he said looking down at Seth.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Hurley," she grins. "How have you been?"

[got-batteries.livejournal.com]

"Good, and you?"

It had been awhile since he had seen her, she and the others from the island seemed pretty busy lately.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Very good," she smiles and gestures for him to sit beside her. "It's been awhile since I've seen you."

[got-batteries.livejournal.com]

"I've been around, you and everyone I know here seem to keep themselves busy." he said as he sat down next near Seth, putting his hands out for a game of patty-cake.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

Seth isn't as intertested in that as he is grabbing Hurley's fingers.

"I have been pretty busy," she nods. "I don't even really live here anymore. But. . .too many friends not to visit."

*the mun finally manages to convince Snow to return to Milliways, so she's taking a walk out back and heads over to Claire*

Evening, Claire, Seth. How's everything going?

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Snow," she grins and scoots over a little on the blanket so Snow can join them. "We're very good. How are you?"

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*Snow settles down on the blanket, relaxing a bit*

Bigby's much better now, and Millie and Wade had a wonderful time on the weekend. I tried out some of the gift basket and managed to relax, on Bigby's insistance.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's wonderful," Claire beams. "All of it. Especially the relaxing part."

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

We're planning a family trip, soon. Bigby's wanted a chance to teach Millie how to hunt, things like that, for a while now -- give her a chance to learn properly about her wolf side. There's a nice spot where we took our honeymoon, lots of woodland, a lake free of squid and sharks and everything.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"That sounds lovely," she agrees. "When do you think you'll be going?"

*Penny wanders over... she's on a mission *

I hear you have a big date coming up...

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

Claire glances up with a rueful smile. "Yes. It seems I do.

Hey, Penny."

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

he's a good guy and he really likes you. Some people never get that.

Hey Claire.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"He is and I know that," she says softly.

"How have you been?"

[moroccofor1year.livejournal.com]

I know... Try not to hurt him too bad if it doesn't work out... He's set on this.

*she grins slightly, she ain't happy though*

I'm gonna take a break from the relationship thing for a while.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"I don't want to hurt him at all," she says quietly, and looks out at the lake. "I really like Nathan."

Just. . .not the way he likes her.

"Oh?" she frowns. "You and Ares broke up?"
