25 Unicorn Street, Friday Evening

[on_her_korhal]

So.

She had some food in the fridge. And drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks.

So.

She had a couch. And a record player. And--

A birthday party, apparently. Maybe. She wasn't sure.

[ open for some particular people, but hell, anyone who has any reason to be there ]

"I'm so sad I missed her class this time around," Lee said, frowning. "I miss taunting her on a weekly basis."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Don't teachers have weekly office hours?" Roy pondered.

"No telling what we can do in the end," she shrugged, leaning lightly on the counter. Cabinets were opened; a glass was found.

A green one. Best to stick with the theme.

"Flying's better," Kerrigan agreed, easily, "Even if I was never a star. I actually tried to get the class in some Wraiths the other day."

"There is always dancing, in the end." River offered Kerrigan a piece of cake on a plate. "Happy birthday."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Lighten up," she snorted, shooting him another grin. "It's a party. I'll save it for the next time you go out and touch deadly aliens with time travel capabilities."

Kerrigan took the plate with some care, balancing it in the palm of her hand for a moment before setting it down; first, she had to pour River a glass. The changeover was a little awkward.

Eventually, though, River had a green glass of neon green fizz, and she had a cake she was... very... carefully tackling with a fork.

A regular fork. She didn't really have any cake forks. "Thanks," she said.

River took the glass. "I will dance later," she said.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"There's two people in the living room who are probably happy about that," Kerrigan grinned.

And then-- finally-- tried the cake. "...It's not bad," she said, a little surprised. "...I like it."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy smirked. "It's not a party until there's dancing."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

And then River gave her a wide grin and wrapped an arm around her neck and hugged her, balancing glasses and plates.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Oof."

She probably didn't mean to say that out loud. But she hugged back as best as she could, what with plates and glasses and all. "Go bring cake," Kerrigan grinned.

"I've danced with you once. I'm not doing it again." She eyed him. "And you're not asking Adama."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow. "River wouldn't mind."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

That was-- one thing she didn't really have an argument against. Still-- "No." Kerrigan waved a finger in his face.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He laughed. "Why not?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I don't dance."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Hence why I could dance with River," he pointed out.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Fine," she said, leaning back. "Go dance with River. She'll love it."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy sighed. "You're not even going to pretend you're disappointed?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

The sides of her mouth curled up. A little. "Have fun, Roy."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're supposed to have fun too," he pointed out, tilting his head

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You guys are here. I'm having a ball." Her mouth quirked a little further. "Thanks for taking my call from Mexico."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I'm just glad it saved you from killing anyone," he murmured, teasing but she knew she was welcome.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You do have some skills," she allowed; the smile ran a little more genuinely, this time.
