The Other Down Under *Est*

[Luc Grant]

"Gooday mate'" Luc teased in her ear, coming in from the garden. He felt really native right then, the barbique was up and blasting, the april day was boiling hot and the roar of the sea could be heard just beyond their Austrialian home.

He kissed the back of her neck, stroking her hair lovingly, then turned to his son. Luc bent and picked him out of his play pen, pulling the snake rattle out of his mouth. "Whats this, son?" He asked, with a gentle smile. "Apart from killing the snake?" Which, in Luc's anstorial opinion was something that should of been done along time ago.

"What time are your parents coming?" He called back to Ester. They were having a little get together, the old fashion, mortal way.

"Mum and Dad will be here in about half an hour. Tam too." She tied her hair up and stretched from her place on a deck chair. "I think Freya, Perrin and the baby may be coming too!" Ester was just happy. Plain and simple. The joy that emanated from her was apparent, calm, loving. Her blue eyes glowed with it under her sunglasses.

Luc kissed his sons head, and popped him back in the play area. Then he moved aside, sitting in the next chair over from his girlfriend. "Oh good-" He teased, and leant in to kiss her. "Axelle and Mom arn't far away, apparently Mom just wanted to pick up a few things for the barbie before they came here."

"Ooh listen to you sounding all Aussie." Ester reached for his hand, taking it in her own. "I think I like it."

[*Gem*]

Luc chuckled and put his hand happily in hers, squeezing her fingers. "Im climitising.." he teased.

[Bails]

"Think we'll stay here for a while?"

[*Gem*]

"I like being here- it feels right... what do you think?"

[Bails]

She nodded, "Abel likes it too, I think."
