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.

"No, of course not," Tony said. "Griff seems like a decent enough guy but Azula's..." He paused, then said, "Probably not a great source of ethical advice."

"And Griff just broke up with my roommate, so he's probably ..." She sighed. "I don't know. He might be having a hard time." Even if, from what Fiona said, he was being a total ass about it. "And I think he didn't like my example."

"B-but yeah. I was less worried about Azula, you know?"

"Everyone's got different experiences, too," Tony said. "Plus it's one thing to put limits on yourself and a totally different thing for someone else to tell you what you can and can't do."

"Yeah, and -- I wasn't trying to say 'if you use magic to clean your room you're evil,'" Tara said. "I think it might have sounded that way, but I was talking more about what I'm comfortable with, right?"

"I got it," Tony said. "Some people here haven't ever been without magic. I can't even imagine what that'd be like."

"See, I've been learning since I was, like, six or seven?" Tara shared. "But it's learning. It's not like Karla where you're just born with everything. I'm still not, y'know, anything all that special."

"I only found out I had powers a couple of years ago," Tony admitted. "Just before I came here. And a couple of years before that, I didn't even know supernatural stuff was real."

"Like, not at all?" Tara asked. "It's -- usually pretty underground at home? But when your mom's a witch" and your father spent half his time bitching her out for it, thank you, Tara's issues "you kind of get a head start."

"Wow, that's awesome," Tony said. "She teach you a lot?"

"As much as she could," Tara said lightly. "My dad isn't crazy about magic, so..."

It wasn't really a topic for a birthday party.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

Tony nodded, understanding. "My dad didn't approve of me even before the magic. I dunno what he'd think now."

"I try not to worry about it," Tara said.

She had a pretty good idea, anyhow.
