The Deck, early evening Thursday

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah had hamburgers and hot dogs, some veggie platters and chips and dip, soft drinks and cake. Oh, and ice cream in the fridge inside for later.

Happy birthday, Will Shakespeare! Oh, and her too.

[very limited OCD about to go up!, for early justice and time zones; set before Dress Rehearsal/Previews.

Anyone welcome, even if you don't know her! I'm sticking to Dinah's thread to keep it simple.]

"Ornithopter, yes." He smiled. "I enjoy flying them. So did my father. So she showed you a worm?"

"The time you flew in between about four of them, just hovering there, with your stepmother scared as anything, then had to shoot up before one ate you. Teeth!" That still stuck with her, and the smell of Spice, the heat and blurred horizon of the desert. "It was amazing. Though I don't think I'd find them as beautiful as you and Profesor Atreides did."

He laughed. "Ate us? I'm sure Irulan was scared." He didn't know this particular memory, but he could imagine the sight. "You wouldn't? Perhaps not." He looked at Dinah. "Can you see why I miss the desert?"

Dinah was quiet a minute, then said, "Yeah. Even the deserts here, that I've heard about-- they're nothing like that one. Not so large, nor so hot, or so overwhelming." She quirked her lips sideways at him. "Home's home, right?"

Smiling in reply, Leto fell silent, shifting his gaze across the people around them. "So, do you and Ghani get along?"

"Yeah, she's awesome!" Dinah still had a little hero-worship for Ghanima, even having gotten to know her better over a semester. "I mean, she's been terrific help with my abilites." She smiled a little more warmly at him for that, since he suggested it in the first place. "And she's really cool besides that. We talk history and other stuff sometimes, before or after my lessons."

"That is good to hear," he said. It truly was. Dinah did need someone like Ghanima, he suspected. "Now, I shouldn't take up all your time, there are plenty of people who would like to wish you a happy birthday."

"Thanks, Leto." Dinah grinned at him, then rolled her eyes as more people walked in. "Time to go be hostess. See you later tonight!"

He gave her an amused look, then turned and left her to her other guests.
