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.

He gives her a look. "Horses run faster than people. I could dodge 'em stomping on my foot, but not if they decide they really don't like me."

X just looks back at him.

"Dodging is not running."

Beat.

"And you are small."

Compared to a horse, anyway.

"Fine, fine, rub it in." He looks more amused than annoyed, though. Even that flat toned sarcasm is a huge improvement over any previous sense of humor she might have had.

"I might grow some more." Pause. "Maybe."

X considers this.

Carefully.

"I do not think I will."

Beat.

"It is okay."

"'s true that girls get their growing done quicker than guys do. I might have another few centimeters in me if I'm lucky, and don't get banged around much."

Breaking bones and getting shot tend to use up a lot of energy!

"And if you do not drink coffee."

X may have done some reading.

Just in case.

Duo shrugs. "Ah well, can't win 'em all.

"So tell me, how do you feel about fish?"
