"Well from now on then I'll make a point to jump on any surface that I sit on, just to check that you aren't under there." he threatened.
Stepping back over the home-made coffee table ((which Thom just magically stepped through without feeling, I realise)) he climbed up and sat on the back of the sofa, watching Girty with interest.

Girty noticed that Thom was watching her. She turned and looked at him without a smile.
"What is your probelm Thom?"

He went to smile, then quickly thought not to. It would be interesting to see how Girty would react. Unblinkingly he continued to watch her, silently staring into her face with narrowed eyes and the straightest of mouths. However, one false move from Girty, and he would be forced to laugh.

Girty looked at Thom. her friends use to do this back home. She knew his plan, however Girty did not do the no blinking method she slowly blinked but not changing expression or diverting her eyes.

Thom's cheeks tinted pink as Girty simply blinked slowly backwards, reminding him of a hypnotic toad. The corner of his mouth twitched threatingly. He would not give up.

Girty noticed Thom was cracking. She raised her left eyebrow and looked at him even harder.
"Come on Thom i thought you could do better then this."

Grace had her nose in her book and had not been paying attention to the two talking. She sniffed and sneezed, bropping her book. "Whoops!" she sniffed.

Girty twitched. She wanted to look and see if Grace was OK and pick up her book for her, but the determined side of Girty did not want to lose and she carried on looking at Thom.

Grace looked at the two, from Girty to Thom back to Girty. She was puzzled. She had not heard a word of their conversation and was totally lost. "What are you two do?" Grace asked in her poshest accent.

Thom's concernatration lapsed and he fell into happy gently laughter. "Oh nothing Grace - just a test of patients on Girty's part!" he chuckled, giving Girty a playful shove, congratulating her. Thom stood up now, his legs beginning to cramp of the sofa, and started to pace around the room idlely. "I'm bored." he declared simply. "Any proposals?" he asked Grace suggestively.

Grace looked at her book, her entire family was documented in it. She ran her fingers over the uneven cover and felt the warmth of the fire and the love of the book warming up her cold body. She looked up from her book and glanced at Girty, before looking at Thom pacing. "Well," Grace said thoughtfully, "ever thought of doing something like homework or anything like that?"

Girty snorted at Graces suggestion.
"Me...Homework..only in the dying minutes before a lesson. I can not waste my precious minutes when i could be sitting here bored out of my skull."

Grace laughed. "Okay," she admitted, "it was a long shot but I had to try it!"

Grace held out the dirty old book for Girty to see. The golden letters shined, saying The Marks Family Heritage. "Got it from the library," Grace smiled.
