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.

X is quiet, watching him carefully.

And then--

"Maybe you will stop meeting people. Like that."

Jamie glances at her, and says, "I don't think there's anywhere you can go where those kind of people aren't. But you learn how to stay away from them, that's the thing."

Or you end up with one as your best friend! Hi Elle!

X just offers Jamie a quick, one-shouldered shrug.

"Unless you are fighting them."

Elle's different, though! Because . . . she . . . um. Well. Jamie's not thinking about her right now, anyways!

"Unless you're fighting them," he says, with a quick grin. "You know that's not my thing."

"That is true," X says.

"You are better at talking."

And running. But she has not really seen much of that. Yet.

There isn't all that much to run away from, in Milliways.

- well. Jamie hasn't encountered it, at least.

"It's nice to know someone thinks so," Jamie says, and casts a mild glare over at Helen where she's standing in the crowd before turning a grin back to X.

X shrugs.

"I have seen you."

Re: Hang out with X-23

"Heard me, you mean," Jamie jokes, tugging on his ear.

Re: Hang out with X-23

"Yes," X says, apparently unfazed.

"I have heard you, too."
