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.

"Oh. That makes sense."

More or less.

Meg thinks back over things, extrapolates things from the excitement of a moment ago, and then asks, very carefully, "Am I correct in assuming, then, that you're trying to find a way back to your Home? And . . . have been for a while?"

"You're quick," Jamie says, with a rueful grin.

"So I've been told," Meg says.

"I'm very sorry to hear that."

Jamie shrugs.

"Well, if I'm right, you won't have to be sorry much longer. Happy ending and all," he says, with a quick grin. "But either way, a party's not the right place for a sob story, so I'm sorry to have intruded it in."

"I hope you're right. And you haven't intruded," Meg says.

But she also knows a topic change when she sees one.

"How did you meet Laura?"
