*Tim is seated at his usual booth, perched on the edge of the chair. His arms are wrapped around a rather thick iron staff with a clawed end. It's new, but already he likes it, despite the weight. It adds just enough mysitcism to the three piece suit, blended nicely. For some reason, his cards are on the table. They just felt like coming out. So, if you want a reading, a flying lesson, or to just talk to Tim, feel free.*

Ace studies the picture.

"Roughly this morning, by my count."

Ace looks at the card, then at Tim.

"... Alright. How did you go from a picture of a sometimes less-than-careful gal to that whole explanation?"

Ace looks rather pale.

"It'd better be talking about Tonks."

She stares at him, bewildered.
"... I was going t'help the Doctor with those Cybermen outside, but not any travel..." He's not her Doctor, after all.

"..." She's a bit startled by the suggestion, but... why the hell not? She talks to Bar all the time.
"So. Care to explain those last two?"

Ace eyes him back.

"I'm asking the cards." In a 'hey, you're the one who suggested this' sort of tone.

Ace headtables, but not very hard. No need to make the headache worse.
"I think I missed something." She voice is muffled by the wood.

She lifts her head to glare at the cards.
"They aren't being terribly clear." She grouses. She's none too fond of what the second-to-last card looks to be. As for the last... she can't for the life of her figure out what that's supposed to mean.

"Huh." Personally, Ace thinks if they got any vauger, they'd be down to 'you might be alive tomorrow. But you might be dead.'

"So." Well, since it's on the table anyway (even in a literal sort of sense)...
"How do you feel about... that?" She waves a hand at the second to last card.

She gives him a Look that clearly conveys just how unhelpful she thinks he's being.
"Yeah? How?" She waves a hand, trying to somehow put in nebulous hand gestures the words she can't seem to find. "Do you want one now, or, perhaps, in ten years, or... what?"

Would one be safe here?

Would be be good parents?

What will you do when I prove to be as horrid a mum as my own?

She doesn't say those, however.

"I..." She stops, considering her words. "I... don't think I'll be very good at it." History repeats itself. She's seen it happen.

"I'm irrational. And haven't been altogether since... I dunno, ever, really. You've seen that. And what do you mean, children?" She's busy worrying about one. He's thinking in terms of plural?

"Would you be happy with none?" She asks, curious.
