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! ]

[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.

[afineknight]

So they should be exposed to a healthy, loving relationship.

[leonheartedly]

I - guess so?

. . . are you talking about us.

[afineknight]

Shut up and say something nice to me.

[leonheartedly]

[. . . he turns a little to look at him properly]

Happiness looks good on you.

[afineknight]

. . .

[ pulls back a bit. ]

I did ask for it, didn't I.

[leonheartedly]

[he grabs at his jacket to tug him back]

Thought you'd get me with that, huh.

[afineknight]

I should have known better.

[leonheartedly]

[a puff of laughter]

I wanted to make you smile.

[afineknight]

You see? This is why I called you "cute."

[leonheartedly]

Because I can say nice things?

[afineknight]

Because you say things like "I wanted to make you smile."

[leonheartedly]

Well - . . . shut up, I'm not cute.

[afineknight]

You're very cute.

[leonheartedly]

[this is bullying sir]

Careful, I'll say something else nice.
