Birthday Party for Laura/X-23

[noteful]

It's a pretty low-key party, all things considered, and not significantly different than the one Parker or Meg would have thrown in a dorm room for a friend at home, not-exactly-traditional menu not withstanding.

There's music, low enough to talk over (and maybe with a little more folk in the mix than one expects to find a party). Balloons and streamers in purple and blue and red. A place to leave presents. People to meet or catch up with.

And, most importantly, a chance to wish X-23 (or Laura) a very happy birthday.

Medusa brightens at this. Good food is always a plus.

"Lovely. I might go and...investigate this. Um. I...made you something. As a present, and I said this on the note, but...if it doesn't fit, let me know and I'll fix it for you."

"Oh."

X looks startled. And pleased.

"Thank you."

Beat.

"I will remember to tell you. If it does not fit."

This pause is longer.

"I do not know if the salad is good. But I like the spaghetti."

Speaking of food--

"You introduced me to spaghetti." She remmebers that much, at least. "Care to have some with me?"

X nods, already starting to head to the buffet.

"Okay. You have had garlic bread, too?"

It's one of X's recent discoveries. Thanks, Rose.

Her eyes narrow suddenly.

"No, I haven't..."

"I like it," X says.

And--unless Medusa recoils horribly, hands her a piece.

"Sometimes there is cheese, too."

Re: Hang out with X-23

"Cheese and garlic?" She asks, taking a mouthful of the bread.

The bread, she approves of.

Re: Hang out with X-23

[cutting_edgex23]

"Yes," X says.

"But I do not make it that way."

Or at least she hasn't tried, yet.

Maybe one day.
