"It may be my birthday but there's no rule stating that we can't both be treated. After all, sharing is caring."

As the boys finish up, Clara dumps the tiny bit left and then dusts off the bottom of the --

"Either Hell has frozen over or I'm in an alternate reality. Maybe it's the Apocalypse.. There is a first time for everything as they say."

Yes she's just teasing, but is happy to see that he's putting his money where his mouth is.

Ernie and Wishbone were clearly quite thirsty by how the bowl --

- the brunette's throat as one hand comes to rest against his chest.

"You don't have to dress to impress with me, my brilliantly clever boy." A smile appears with the 'clever boy'.

- a bit of a smirk forms upon her features.

"When we get back to our suite you may brush away any sand that has collected anywhere on me. And I do mean /anywhere/."

Both boys would end up sitting (more like laying) between the chairs in the shade. They too likely need some water.

"Eh... Spoilers. Because you haven't always taken your own advice and I know that from experience."

Yes the trajectory of his timeline has changed, as has hers. But Clara isn't taking any chances just to be safe, knowing what she knows of his future selves.

Eyebrows raise as a smile mixed with -

"The usual morning requirement during coffee. Ensuring my lesson plans for the upcoming week are in order. What about you, hm?"

- of my bum? I think room service, some cake, a cocktail and you."

She surely didn't mince words there, now did she?

Clara throws the ball again and Wishbone of course chases after it as The Doctor asks what she'd like to do after their time on the beach.

"Besides getting the sand out of the crack

Clara looks up and over just in time to see the bottle of water that's been tossed out to her. She catches it and opens the top without hesitation to take a few good sized gulps. Thankfully it isn't only refreshing but nice and cold, too.

"I was going to argue if you didn't take your own advice, -

Ernie also seems to be in 'hog heaven' digging in the sand and rooting around with his snout.

Then here comes Ernie, but understandably he doesn't enter far into the water but is definitely letting his presence be well known.

Once all are ashore and at their spot on the beach both boys are certainly ready to play.

"I think Ernie is having more fun chasing his brother than the -

An arm goes around the small of her husband's back once he's at her side. "We can certainly make the midnight walk both a family affair and a romantic moonlit stroll."

Clara watches as Wishbone comes dashing over to them and tries to nip at the small waves that are rolling in, making the brunette -

- insanely loud whistle and he comes sprinting over to the edge of the water.

"Good boy for Mummy! Let's get your ball, eh?"

- face is rather telling of how proud she is to have gotten a leg up on the man this go.

"At least you have the morning walk. I got stuck with the midnight walk. Now, let's go see what our little trouble makers are up to and enjoy what's left of the daylight."
