Happy Birthday to You...
Who: The Everdeen sisters and whoever knows them (plus dates, if applicable)
What: Belated birthday party for Prim.
When: Starting Saturday evening (6/8), around 5 PM.
Where: House 43
Summary: Thanks to the spirit possessions, Katniss cancelled the original party she had planned. Time for Surprise Party #2!
Rating: PG/PG-13 if any fights break out?
She had gotten up early to make certain everything was perfect. Double checked that all the bedroom locks worked, moved all of the valuables out of the living area and into Sharpe's bedroom. And then she cleaned the house more thoroughly than she had in a long, long time.
Hours later, with Aang's help, everything seemed perfect. The inside of the house was decorated with crepe streamers. Though there was an emphasis on blue, she made certain to alternate with other colors: whites and greens and purples and reds. Balloons floated along the ceiling, interspersed among strings of twinkling lights. A huge banner reading "Happy Birthday Primrose!" hung across the space between living room and kitchen.
Food covered every available surface, bowls and plates and bowls of punch and other drinks resting on top of blue paper table cloths. Peppermints and chocolates and other sweets covered the dining room table, with a two-tiered cake in the center. It had been pushed against one of the walls to make space for dancing and talking. In the kitchen, various dinners - stews and roasted meats and an assortment of vegetables and starches - covered the counters. Snack type foods were scattered both inside and out, a mix of cheeses and crackers, vegetables and fruits.
Extra chairs surrounded a table in the backyard, which had been equally decorated. Balloons were tied to chairs and a mixture of streamers and lights hung over any tree branches that crossed into the yard. In one corner, a goat stood tied up to a poll with a pink bow around her neck. Space had been provided for a D.J. table if Teddy or Sabriel grew tired of playing.
Everything seemed perfect. She only hoped that Prim would love it, too.

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to but...the nightmares do start to fade once your spirit has healed. Give it time, be with the people you care about, it will go away.

You're handling it better than I did. I'm glad you have an outlet.

[He offers her a gentle, if tired, smile.]
We yet live. We have those that care for us. We manage.

When you've finish here and the dancing starts, remind me to play a song for you.

That I can do. If you leave the windows open you should be able to hear it even if you're still working in here.

[Not that he couldn't enjoy himself just fine here in the kitchen with the fruit he transformed into flowers.]

[He blinks and then cracks into laughter.]
I have become a serene old elf in the months since my death, it seems. I never thought I would live to see the day I was glad for something such as this.
no subject
It is not such a bad thing to be grateful for considering how often we get shaken up here.

[He cut another rose of a strawberry, speared it on a bit of rosemary and offered it over.]
Your patch is comfortable, yes?
no subject
Very, yes. Thank you Zev, it really is lovely.
