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!]

[So now there they are, both standing under the same tree with their arms crossed and attempting to appear aloof. If the topic at hand was not what it was, it may have been amusing.]

Seeing as no one came after me, I figured as much. What I do not understand is why.

[He could make educated guesses based off of what he knew of Nami and what she knew about him, but there was always the possibility that Nami would surprise him again.]

Too many people I know would try dealing with Yuber by attacking you, and I didn't know your reasons. [Straightforward response. She may have considered being one of them. But too many things didn't make sense.

She hesitates.] ...and then there's Raine.

[He says nothing when Nami mentions Raine, his expression unreadable as he looks off towards more of the mikan trees. The initial explanation Nami gave made sense, and he had expected her to say something to the effect of him being the demon's weakness.

But Raine? A very specific reason.]

Well, now you know. [Partial truths.]

Yeah. [And deliberately misconstruing that, she grins faintly.] But you know, I doubt there's any point trying to kill you horribly when Yuber's not around to notice.

[He has to glance over at Nami to ensure that he is hearing her correctly; the joke is unexpected with the rest of their conversation.]

I would like to keep the need to horribly kill me down to a minimum, if possible.

[Such a deadpan response nearly makes her laugh outright. Her lips twitch up, but Nami just inclines her head at that.] I think that can be arranged.

[When he nods, it's with quiet approval. Even so, he decides it would be best to voice his feelings on the matter.]

Thank you for your discretion. You had only so many options open to you during that time.

I could wish there had been better options. [But Nami's a realist, so after a moment, she smiles.]

Thank you for talking with me about it.

Thank you for not jumping to conclusions. [As could have been the case with others around Luceti.

There is a slight pause as he seems to recall something, reaching into one of his coat pockets to pull out a very small pinwheel. It's obviously handmade with its thicker paper, colored orange and blue.]

You should probably take this before it gets any later.

I did, originally. Right when I first asked you about him. [But they were way off base. Nami holds out her hand and takes the pinwheel in her fingers.]

Those are great colours. Thank you.

[Albert nods and slips his hand back into his pocket. His posture is somewhat more relaxed, but he does not look at Nami as he speaks.]

For the mikan and the tattoo. It seemed fitting.
