THE BABY PARTY

[afineknight]

WHO: everyone!!
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Day 33, around lunchtime

[ Since it is a Daffodil rite, the Daffodils (at least, the ones that are not children who have no idea what they're doing and therefore aren't Tart, the best baby shepherd ever) have set up a little party in the rec room for all the kids and their poor beleaguered adults!

They've set up snacks and pulled out a few games as well as some pillows from the library for naptime and books — including picture books — nearby before putting the word out to others to stop by the rec room around lunchtime. And hey, if they have anything they can bring along, all the better! ]

[Tyr is back to normal, so he's just hanging out near the door and helping to just keep an eye on things.

Very serious, not easily bullied by children at all]

[ walks over, offering an apple from his basket ]

Hey, nice guy. Apple?

[leonheartedly]

[. . . ah. He briefly makes a face, but nods]

Sure, thanks.

[catposting]

[ smirks ]

What's wrong?

[leonheartedly]

It's nothing. You can call me Tyr.

[catposting]

[ squints at him ]

You grew too.

[leonheartedly]

[he shrugs, smiling a little]

I became a kid like everyone else - just older than most.

[catposting]

Heh. Does that mean you're more or less friendly now?

[leonheartedly]

[a soft huff]

Same level of friendliness. At least towards people I know.

[catposting]

...

Do you know an older version of me?

[leonheartedly]

I do.

[catposting]

I...

Are you friends?

[leonheartedly]

. . . I'd like to think so.

[ or by croissants who just straight up wander over to drape on him just because they can. ]

[leonheartedly]

[exactly, he is bully-proof. But he might lean into that a little]

Comfortable?

[afineknight]

Very.

[leonheartedly]

[a soft snort, lips twitching]

The kids seem like they're having fun.

[afineknight]

That's the idea. Gather them up and let them have fun together while we can keep an eye on them.

And Daffodil does their rites in the process.

[leonheartedly]

This counts as a rite? That's smart.

Hope you guys get something good.

[afineknight]

We are throwing a party. Parties are part of our rites.

[ He shrugs. ]

We'll see if it counts. It would be nice to get some storage cabinets for our basement.

[leonheartedly]

It'd be some bullsh—. . . bull if it didn't count.

[afineknight]

[ He laughs softly at that. ]

Oh, that's cute.

[leonheartedly]

[his eyebrows furrow]

What is?

[afineknight]

You, of course.

[leonheartedly]

[a soft huff]

There's little kids around, shut up.
