Sixth Floor, Thursday Evening -- Merlin's Birthday Party

[bitchprince]

If Arthur had still been back at Camelot, the idea of holding celebrations for a servant's birthday would have seemed preposterous. But he wasn't, and it didn't, and if he were really honest with himself he'd admit he enjoyed it (or at least in as much as it involved picking out presents that made him fret some on the inside and yelling at people about getting decorations in).

The Sixth Floor was decorated rather decadently for a birthday party. There were some CDs of painfully carefully selected songs playing through the system - the ones Arthur had judged least likely to shatter eardrums (and maybe tending towards the classical and medieval).

And there was food. Courtesy of Francine.

Arthur didn't like half-measures much.

Dinah grinned, and spun around to take it all in, and came back to rest. "He really needs to stop calling him names. They are so BFF's." She shook her head. "Hey, when is your birthday? And we have to do one for Arthur, he wouldn't tell me his real birthdate. Sometime before May."

Well, yes. In that same way that Francine and Katchoo were BFFs. "I think he's not really had much experience with birthday parties that weren't some kind of formal feast or something; he asked me what kind of things you had to do for one." Francine fished out a piece of mango and sucked on it. "Mine's April Fool's Day. Or as we like to call it at Fandom High, Francine gets turned into a zombie day."

"Oh God, that's right," Dinah said, remembering now. "Aaaiiee. Okay, this year? We do something really cool to make up for last year. Seriously. Huge picnic. Trip to a great restaurant."

On occasion, Dinah noticed... stuff, about Arthur and Merlin. But it was all vague, and nebulous, just smiles or tones of voice, and once some hugging. They were from another millenia. How would she be able to be sure? So she never tried to guess too hard.

"Where they don't serve braaaaains?"

Hey, it had been almost a year. She was getting a little better with the PTSD.

"No braaaains!" Dinah shuddered, then laughed. "Unless you want to try monkey brains?" Ew.

"Eeeeeeugh!" Not that much better.

"Ew. Ew. And in conclusion. That. Ew." Dinah grinned. "And non-homicidal vegetables and nothing that looks even vaguely like harpy eggs or guts and... okay, more sushi now. Yes."
