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.

"S'mores are always okay," Kennedy told her. "You really like the cabins, don't you?"

"Not in like a crazy, I want to go live in the woods with the squirrels forever kind of way," Tara reassured her. "But it's peaceful. It's a nice break."

"I guess I can give it a try," Kennedy said slowly, though she still wasn't sold on the idea. "It's not that big an island anyway, right? We're not talking a million miles from civilization. Plus, if I can get you to feed me chocolate..."

She trailed off, looking slightly mischievous.

"It's like ten minutes from the dorms," Tara promised. "And we'll probably be able to mange some chocolate."

And then she realized they were planning for something four months away. That was ... nice. It was just a way of talking, but it was still nice.

It was nice. Kennedy hadn't yet looked at the conversation in that light, or her usual composure might have a crack in it, but she was at least vaguely aware that it felt... comfortable.

"I'll stock up beforehand," she said, nodding. "Make sure we have enough to last us the whole time."

"Good idea," Tara laughed. "You don't want to get caught if there's a chocolate emergency. It'd be bad."

"And I know you love your chocolate," Kennedy added, turning to brush a kiss against her cheek. "Gotta make sure you're good to go there."
