"Yeah, I understand that." Walter nodded and shrugged. "But if you're going to have to learn to do something difficult, this is a more fun something."

"I guess so." Nadia shrugged. "Still. Weird."

"You didn't mention to anyone I know that your birthday was coming." Walter gave her a sidelong glance. "Is this party a bad thing?"

With her various quirks about her past, Walter was wondering how much this had to do with any of that.

Nadia sighed. "Not bad memories, if that's what you mean. I just don't like celebrating. It just reminds me that I don't have a family, and that I never have."

Walter looked out at the group of people gathered to celebrate with Nadia and sighed as well. Which was worse? Never having had a family? Or having had one and knowing what it was to lose them in some arbitrary act of war?

He sort of decided that they were really about equally crappy.

"Make a family now? Here? This way you get to avoid the creepy old uncle, which puts you well ahead of many people."

"That's not how family works, though, is it? Friends are the ones you pick, family are the ones who have to like you no matter what but you didn't choose."

"Do you think your friends are always going to like everything you do? And from what I've seen of families, they don't always like each other at all."

"Of course they don't." Nadia was starting to get confused. "But they're just friends. I thought families were supposed to care about each other and take care of each other no matter what, because . . . because they're . . . ." She was running out of English. "Because they HAVE to."

"And isn't it even better to have people who care about you and take care of you no matter what because they want to?"

Nadia was starting to get frustrated. "But why should they want to?" she blurted, then frowned, realizing how dumb that sounded. "I mean . . . I don't know what I mean."

"Maybe I'm just telling you what I want to hear," Walter said, putting a conciliatory hand on her arm. "But I don't throw away friends. They're the people who'll get my back when snowmen attack and teach me how to dance and sit with me on the emo roof in the cold rain."

Nadia blushed slightly and smiled sadly. "Even when they sing bad things at you and accidentally turn you into a girl?"

"Spell and accident." Walter shrugged. "I'll probably do something just as brilliant and I hope you'll still be my friend afterwards."

"Well, I've already accidentally been a boy, so you can cross that off your list of 'brilliant' things to do," Nadia said. "But I can't think of anything you could do that would make me not want to be your girlfriend."

Walter was silent for a minute while he watched the other party people. "The birthday girl isn't supposed to be the one giving gifts," he finally said, smiling at her. "The feeling's mutual. Thank you."

Nadia blushed again. "Well, I'm not a traditional birthday girl."

Taking a look at the decor and knowing how well Nadia's boots fit the decor, Walter had no trouble agreeing with a laugh and a nod.

"Yes, and that's one of the reasons we're here for you."
