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.

Duo is excellent at inferring meaning from languages he doesn't know, and reading body language. He may not understand literally, but he gets the point.

"Not like 494, is she?"

"Is..."

("We are not safe.")

Dangerous.

"Don't like her." It is accompanied by an awkward shrug.

"Yeah." She had something a little off about her, but he thought maybe it was just the hangover. He didn't really see her move.

"X gives plenty of people chances that everyone else maybe wouldn't. Probably lucky, for schmoes like us."

There are several moments of silent blinking before Stitch responds.

He glances across the room to where X is standing, posture stiff as always, by the buffet table.

"Ih."

Lucky.
