Midsummer Bash

[puppy_lancer]

Characters: Lancer, the people he invited to the party, and everyone else who wants to stumble in
Setting: Floor 25, July 5, afternoon
Format: Open
Summary: Lancer throws a party for midsummer, since the Tower obviously needs a breather.
Warnings: None so far.

[To be honest, Lancer wanted to have the party in the evening, sometime around twilight. That would have been the most romantic time for it. Unfortunately, when in the Tower, one had to account for things like monsters. As a result, he had to hold it during the afternoon. But it wasn't too bad of a compromise.]

[This was, of course, a more simple affair than Diarmuid's birthday. For food, he had hauled a couple of tables up here and lined the table with dinner food. The centerpiece was a cake which had a heart drawn on it in red frosting. In one corner of the meadow, he had used some boxes and tarp to make some sort of booth where people could hide from the sun (and steal kisses off of each other). In the center of the meadow, he had piled a large stack of wood, perfect for lighting a bonfire by the party's end. The structures had all been surrounded with wreaths made from the meadow's flowers.]

[As soon as he's done with the setup, Lancer will sit down next to the firewood pile, waiting for people to come.]

[ The cake looked like it belonged to someone, but he couldn't bring himself to turn her down. She looked too excited. And so, with a sheepish smile and a shrug, Tavros answered. ]

Sure! Why not? I'm sure you won't get into trouble for eating a cake.

[ Hell, he might join you. It looked pretty inviting. ]

[And Yotsuba's grin grew even wider when she heard that.]

Yay! We have to have a knife first..

[Hopefully there were some available knives and forks around. If there were, Yotsuba would pick one up and use it to cut the first slice of the cake. It was a bit of a large slice, but she didn't do it intentionally. However..transferring the slice over to a place was hard for her. Her hand kept shaking, and even though she was concentrating, it ended up falling onto the table, a few inches away from the plate.]

Ah! Whoops!

[ If it was up to Tavros, he would have used his hands like the civilized creature he is, but it's a good thing the little girl took over. While staring at the misplaced piece of cake, Tavros had to bite his lips to keep himself from laughing. He then cleared his throat, and placed a hand on top of her head in a genuine act of condolence. ]

Allow me to help.

[ He took the knife with one hand and a plate with another. He was careful and yet very generous as he soon had a large piece of cake waiting for her. He smiled brightly. ]

You even get the badly drawn heart!

[Yotsuba smiled at the hand on her head and at the helpful person who cut a large piece of cake for her. She reached out to take the plate, smiling all the while.]

Oh! Thank you! You're a good person! And it is a bad drawing!

[Not that she seemed too unhappy about that. However, there was still the issue of the piece of cake that was lying on the table.]

Will you take that slice?

[As she spoke, she pointed to it.]
