Who: Anyone attending Nami's birthday party. /o/
What: ...Nami's birthday party. 8|
When: Evening on the 4th July.
Where: The mikan orchard.
Summary: An impromptu last minute stubborn celebration of something that's fun.
Rating: ...P for pinwheels? 8|a


[Tis a mingling post. Mingle!  Seriously. The orchard's lit up, there is alcohol, there are snacks, there are mikan. There's also piles of coloured paper for much later, but that's another story. 

Backtag to your heart's content. We apologise for contributing to the glut of birthday posts that is early July. |D Popular month!]

[If Marco and Sabo thought they could ditch him and go to a party, they had another thought coming. Because, yes, Ace is there now and carrying a little box with him! And also looking for a certain birthday girl because he has to a) congratulate her, and b) give her her present.

He'll be hanging around the food table (staying away from the alcohol because he's still sick), or just wndering around the orchard.]

[fierybluebird]

[Flomps on Ace's shoulder, leaning on the orange cowboy hat.] So I see you told Vivi I'd take her flying.

[Guess whether or not Ace is in trouble.]

[hiken_ace]

[glkngkd hey bro.] You try saying no to a child like Princess Vivi. She looked so excited about it!

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I know. Believe me, I know.

[Moral of the story, all she had to do was find him and he said yes. Yup. Still gonna make Ace sweat a little. What are big brothers for?]

[hiken_ace]

See!? So, so it's not just my fault. [Right? Riiiiight??????]

[fierybluebird]

[Tugs on Ace's cheeks anyway.]

I was going to surprise her though! [He will keep making Ace sweat. Worst big brother ever.]

[hiken_ace]

[He'll stick out his tongue, then.] So you were planning on taking her fly anyway.

[Cough cough cough cough. Sorry, bro.]

[concasse]

Oi, shouldn't you be in bed?

[That's not coming form either Sabo or Marco, but from Sanji who (to no one's surprise) has been manning the snack table. He glances up at the pirate, amusement thick in his voice]

Or you just couldn't stay away.

[hiken_ace]

Yo, Sanji. [He raises a hand as a greeting. He laughs a little, his voicy slightly raspy.]

Oi, I feel fine. Besides, it's Nami's birthday. I didn't think I should miss out on it.

[concasse]

[A snort - and then, Ace will find a cool and soothing drink shoved into his hand]

Drink it. It'll help with the throat.

[hiken_ace]

[He blinks a few times at first, but quickly gives him a smile.] Thank you, Sanji.

[He'll take a few sips and let out a refreshed sigh. Oh yeah, that helped.]

[concasse]

[He's only being nice because he doesn't want any of these delicate ladies catching your sickness. Honest]

So, you come bearing any gifts?

[hiken_ace]

[So rude, Sanji. Anyway, he holds up a small box about the size of a deck of cards.]

Yep.

[toujoursfluer]

[She notices you but takes a moment before speaking. She's sitting nearby, observing as usual]

Hello, Firefist-san. How have you been?

[hiken_ace]

[He turns to face her, and gives Robin a friendly smile. When he speaks, his voice is still a bit hoarse.]

Ah, pretty good, all things considered. How about you, Robin?

[toujoursfluer]

I'm well enough. [She cocks her head]

You sound as if you've been ill.

[hiken_ace]

Mn, from the cold. It's almost gone, though.

[toujoursfluer]

That's good. Though I'm surprised. You don't seem the type who would get sick. [Being Luffy's brother and all. Even if you aren't technically related that doesn't matter much when you're that close]

[hiken_ace]

A-ahahaha, well, horrible storms can do that to you. [Never mind the drowning.]

HELLO LITTLE LOST TAG

[mikangirl]

[And Nami surfaces at his side some time into the proceedings.]

Hey! Feeling better?

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT'VE MISSED IT. BUT CONSIDERING HOW MANY YOU HAVE...

[hiken_ace]

[When he sees Nami, he gives her a wide smile.] Hey, Nami! And yeah, I've been feeling pretty good lately.

[He hands out the small box to her.] Happy birthday!

IT GOT BURIED ON PAGE 3, MAN.

[mikangirl]

Good to know...

[Her voice trails off as she's presented with the box. Oho. Can't quite resist an impish smile.] My, Ace, how forward of you.

IT'S ALL GOOD

[hiken_ace]

[Nami, my friend, that gets you a smirk on Ace's end.] Well, when you think the time is right, you just go for it.

[... Sanji's not listening, is he?]

<3

[mikangirl]

[If he is, we'll know by the orchard being set on fire momentarily.]

The time is definitely right. May I? [She holds her hand out for the box.

[hiken_ace]

Of course. [He hands her the box and inside is not another box or a ring, but a necklace with little pinwheel charms on it. A large orange one in the center, and smaller ones in blue, purple, yellow, and red next to it.]
