A Late Birthday Party / MAY 26, 2063 Night

[therealbrianna]

[ After a short "vacation" at Tokyo, Brianna sends a text to her friends. It's a general invitation that stretches from her blade mates to her mentors, to well, the whole of Netsach (as long as she knows them. Also extends to some Zangyaku friends). Of course, she asks her parents for permission first. ]

SENT: 03:00 PM

Hello friend! It would make me very happy if you could make it to Haven this Saturday to celebrate my 520th birthday. Drinks on me. :)

- OOC note: Feel free to tag in whenever you like, whatever you like.

[ A quirk of both brows from this one, because she knows. Oh, she knows. Family was one thing -- and among the three blades, a number of them counted as family -- because family was a rock you could lean on when everything else stopped making sense, or until you were okay enough to deal with nothing making sense.

Aspiring to become friends with Hikaru Shinta though. That was like... pulling teeth, and then some.

She's sliding away a little from those somber thoughts, though, gesturing to the bartender for a drink on her for the both of them. ]

Did Selene tell you about the incident here the other night?

[thetalavega]

Nope. Maybe she thought that whatever it was, it wasn't worth my attention. Unless you think otherwise?

[And it's been long established that she trusts your opinion. You catch on to things really quickly, and you're also around Falner and other areas of interest a lot more than she is these days.]

[kinesthesia]

[ She does think it's worth your attention. Based solely on how she suspects it's why the Blade King is actually... hovering. ]

It might be nothing.

[ Smiling a quiet thank you to the bartender when those drinks arrive. Handing the glass she boughr for you now. ]

But your father is hovering.

[ A beat, and then: ] Joshua kissed Rethe.

I take full responsibility for texting him. But... [ trailing off at that. She doesn't like making assumptions. But its safe to guess that Hikaru followed up on that. And it's an interesting twist to things, to see him concerned. ]

Like I said. Probably nothing.

[thetalavega]

[Okay, that first part? Not too surprising. Rethe Kyriff-Clayce, the poor dear, got at least five random people all sexually confused and kissing him a year.

That next part, though.]

Hmm.

[Studying the pair now, with an unreadable expression. And then she's smiling, just so.]

Looks like I'll have to watch Mr. LaRue a little more closely now from here on.

[No judgment just yet, no assumptions. (Because a part of her doesn't want to hope.)]

[kinesthesia]

[ And Cisco's going quietly sip her drink. ]

He's a nice boy. [ She stretches her a neck a little. ] Seems the type to keep his head and his temper in check.

[ Another sip. ] Your girl was here with him about a month ago. I didn't see it, but the staff on the ground did. Shooed some unwanted attention away without lifting a fist.

[thetalavega]

A pacifist and a brainiac, huh? With a pretty face to boot.

[Hmm, hmm. Yeah, her eyes are currently fixed on Joshua LaRue now, and Tala is an expert at making sure nobody but Cisco notices it.]

Very well. I'll sit back and watch how this goes.

[And maybe harass her father about it later.]

[kinesthesia]

[ Lifting her glass: Cheers? ]

Lots of empty seats in the peanut gallery for now.

[ Just two Whisperers of Wolf's Choice catching up over drinks, right? Nothing out of the ordinary. ]

[thetalavega]

[Cheers~]

Let's hope it doesn't get too crowded. Honestly, Daddy could do WITHOUT all of the attention.

[She is, after all, fully aware of the fact that he's under a lot of scrutiny. Fine, most of it is well-meant, but it doesn't change the reality of it in the slightest.]

[kinesthesia]

Seconded. [ She can handle her people. Or try, at the least. ]

Or, you know. People could learn basic movie house etiquette and keep mum and just watch the plot unfold.

[ A smile your way. ]

I'll talk to Cen about that reunion. [ She doesn't want to keep you, but this was nice. ] The house is too quiet these days anyway.

[thetalavega]

Great! Just set the date, and I'll drag Eli right over.

[You know she will, girlfriend. ♥]

I'm going to go back to my rounds. Make sure you drink more, Cisco!

[kinesthesia]

[ She's chuckling at that, downing the rest of her drink.

And ordering one more. ]
