[ota] happy (belated) birthday

[at_heart]

WHO: Yuri, Flynn, and YOU!
WHAT: Flynn's birthday and maybe an engagement party, depends on how badly Yuri freaks out sjldkfjs
WHEN: Early/mid June
WHERE: A park near Flynn's apartment
WARNINGS: Nothing unless you actually ask why this party got delayed,

[ So, about a week into June, you might get a quick text message. ]

Sorry about the short notice but
Any chance you could make it to a birthday party sometime this week?
Should've been the 22nd but well
Kind of lost track of time

[ When you actually show up to the park near Flynn's one-bedroom apartment, you'll know where the party is right away: chains of wildflowers string trees together around the clearing, and there's a big buffet table covered with lots of (clearly labeled for different dietary needs) food. The recipes definitely lean Japanese, and most of it's handmade, but there's also a selection of storebought snacks still in their wrappers for some reason. ]


((ooc: Do you have CR with Yuri or Flynn? Are you a friend of someone with CR? Can you rationalize why your character might've been in the neighborhood to hear the sounds of a party going down? ;) Then come on in.

Gifts are optional. Lower Quarter birthdays have always been more about the people than the things!))

I know. It's just that I feel like I have really done anything to help anyone here I've just been, well, here.

[He quietly goes back to washing the dishes, and he looks over at her with a smile.]

I won't say anything to anyone who brings me a gift. I'll be very thankful that they thought of me.

[moonstriking]

Oh good. Because I have something, and if you didn't want it, I would have been very put out.

[Sparkling as she helps dry the dishes]

[bravestknight]

Thank you in advance for whatever you got me, I'm sure I'll love it.

[He takes his time washing the dishes, and finally finishes, leaning against the counter afterward.]

[moonstriking]

I'll be a little put out if you don't like it.

[She smiles, leaning against the counter too]

Would you like to see before your guests arrive?

[bravestknight]

Sure, I'd love to. Also, how could I not like a gift from you Judith?

[He smiles at her and waits for her to lead the way to wherever this gift is.]

After you.

[moonstriking]

[Judith smiles, and steps out into the company, lifting her gaze up to the sky as she gives a whistle.

Ba'ul. Bring our friend with you.

There's a keening whale-like noise and Ba'ul floats down gently, with a small basket in his mouth, and a yipping familiar yellow puppy with him]

Happy birthday.

[bravestknight]

[Flynn sees Ba'ul, then the puppy and his eyes light up. He looks at the little one and then towards Judith a grin splitting onto his face at the sight of the little puppy.

It was the puppy that they had taken back to the shelter with his friends.]

Judith...

[His eyes look a little misty, and he rubs at them before he reaches out and gently takes the small basket and the puppy.]

Thank you.

[He holds the little one against his chest, setting the blanket down on the table with the other gifts as he brushes a hand down his back.]

Hey little guy...It's been a few days, huh?

[moonstriking]

[She wasn't expecting the strength of that reaction. It fills her up with a quiet warmth, and she clasps her hands behind her back as she smiles at them]

You'll have to give that little one a good name.

[The puppy wiggles, squirming as it turns up to lick Flynn's chin]

[bravestknight]

[He looks down at the little one in his arms as he buries his face against the wiggling puppy.]

His name is Fielacius, but we can just call him Fiel.

[Flynn moves over and leans over, kissing her on the cheek.]

Really, thank you.

[moonstriking]

[ Judith blinks, and she feels heat sweep over her cheeks for what feels like the first time in forever]

Ah--of course.

[ Glancing over at Flynn with a soft smile]

That's a good, strong name. 'Fiel' huh?
