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!]

[Still set in a red jumpsuit, Daisy arrives with a bag full of food -a lot of it, both for guests, for herself, and in case Luffy finds any of it-, and non-alcoholic drinks.

But again, given it is food, and since Nami happens to have a Captain that could have starved Segretar by himself (if not by having summoned Luceti's biggest eaters), she guards it far too jealously.]

I see you know the D family well.

[Gestures at the extra food with an amused grin.]

Luffy ate a Leviathan -- A Sea King! I saw him eat in Segretar!

[She almost resembles a guard dog protecting her house, too. Given she needs the food, she also happens to be a big eater.]

I'm not surprised. [Hides a small laugh behind his hands.] You should see Ace go at it. He's usually pretty polite about saving enough for everyone else, but when he doesn't have to worry about that, look out.

He always falls asleep in the middle though.

...

[She suddenly pities the next enclosure that needs heavyweight fighters.]

Is that man even allowed in Seventh Heaven? ... Nami told me Luffy's forbidden from entering Seventh Heaven.

[Laughs.] Ace has better table manners. And he's pretty good about saving food for other people if it's needed.

...

[--She bolts her head to the side. She thought she saw someone sneaking in.]

Does this count as a scenario for him to save food?

[Thinks it over.] Yes, because he wouldn't want to make Sanji work that much extra.

Besides he knows he can just bug me for food if he's really hungry enough and doesn't want to cook for himself. [True story. Plus, he's been sick so unlike Luffy who gets hungrier, Ace's appetite's been a little thinner.]

You cook?

[Which to be fair, makes sense. Daisy herself knows -- but only the necessary for survival scenarios. And baking.]

...

Being a personal cook for them must be hard...

[Not that she underestimates Keimi's labor, but again, D family.]

[Marco's pretty much like Daisy in this, though he's been been quadruping his efforts since Luceti, since yup, keeping him fed is never easy.]

It's a toil of love. I used to get Ace food a bunch when we were on the ship. Back before he really trusted us. It was still easier then what with the larger kitchens and multiple chefs, eh.

There's just as much in here... Food, I mean. I think the only problem would be the chefs. I think Sanji might have a patience...

[If Luffy is kept away from it...]

Aye, so I'm sure he'll appreciate the help, eh?

Daisy!

[It isn't long after Daisy arrives that Nami appears out of the trees with a smile.] Good to see you made it! You want a place to put all that?

[Daisy gives her a smile as well -- before setting arms again on the package.]

ASAP, ma'am.

[... She looks up at the trees. She remembers seeing Luffy up from above.]

Come on this way, then. [She beckons cottagewards and heads that direction, though her smile is a little more uncertain for a moment.] Any word from Keimi?

[As she walks, Daisy attempts to keep her expression neutral with the question. Even if Shikamaru reinforced her decision, she can't help but feel she should've been part of the infiltration team.]

She's still in Luceti. But there was no word from the teams on her. She's been missing since the fifteenth.

...the last time there were teams, it was pretty clear a bunch of kidnap victims were somewhere else. She'll be back. [But still, Nami's disappointed.]

...

She'll be back. [She repeats the words for herself to prevent herself from feeling the same.] I want to be the first to know when she's spotted.

[She's going to need help, she doesn't comment.

For now, it's Nami's party, and she moves the bags into the cottage, once again motioning to keep watch over either D brother. Even Mendez told them not to let themselves fall too much into worry or grief.]

You know we'll pass it on if she gets dropped off back home. Otherwise, we'll all keep an eye out.

[Nami follows Daisy in to show her the way to the bedroom.] You can just leave stuff on the bed if you like.

Thank you, ma'am. Nami.

[She does, turning back to the girl.]

... Will it be safe there until we get it out?

[Her smile gets extra wide at the Nami before it turns long-suffering.] Oh, it'll be safe. Luffy has more than enough distractions outside and nobody else would dare.

Distractions? What do you mean?

I mean there's plenty of stuff for him to do outside. Coming indoors wouldn't occur to him.

I hope you're right...

[The smell could make it so. From one of the bags, neatly wrapped in tiny boxes for every slice, she offers Nami a piece of chocolate cake.

Apparently, Daisy discovered it is a thing you can actually make, so this opened endless possibilities.]

Happy birthday.

[That is definitely a cute way of packaging cake. And it smells delicious. Nami offers Daisy a wide smile, taking the cake.] Thank you! Did you make it yourself?
