Birthday Party for Laura/X-23
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.

Re: Mingle with the other guests
It still doesn't sound like Elle really knows what to think of this.
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"If you don't mind me asking... what were you expecting me to say?"
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Slightly defensively, "I don't know."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
"Just wondering."
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Beat.
"You asked me."

She's one of the most defensive girls he's ever known, but --
-- Sam shoves aside the tiny twinge of thought that's trying to make itself known, and shakes his head.
"Look, I wasn't trying... never mind."
A beat.
"Want something to drink?"
Re: Mingle with the other guests
Finally:
"I can get it myself."

But then Elle blinks away, gaze wandering the room before landing on X.
When she looks back - "I'm fine."
