[ Ahiru's Birthday Party - Open Log ]

When; Saturday, May 10th
Rating; G-PG? Unless someone causes trouble.
Characters; Open to All
Summary; The Opera Abandoned opens it doors to the City for the day, shelter from the rainstorm and a cheery atmosphere within - food, cakes, decorations, music---all arranged by the Host Club and a few of Ahiru's close friends---all for the sake of celebrating Ahiru's 16th birthday as the very first birthday and birthday celebration the girl has ever had.
Log; 
On the biggest table in the largest hall of the Opera was a large array of foods and drinks, all spread out on a long white cloth. And in the center stood two cakes, side by side.

Fakir leaned off to the side by the wall, arms crossed and his serious expression contrasting the cheerful white and yellow streamers and balloons that adorned the enclosure. He wasn't really looking forward to enduring the noisy and social gathering that was about to ensue, but this had been what Ahiru wanted to experience. And even if he wanted nothing more than to slink off somewhere alone, he had a duty to be present...and protect the Opera residents, if necessary.

Not that he wasn't also curious as to how the redhead would react when she finally arrived.The Host Club had certainly put a lot of work into this, for which he was grateful. The ex-knight didn't have much knowledge about parties and the like, but they certainly seemed to have outdone themselves. He wished he could have done more, but anything in a normal social life was pretty much alien to him.

Fakir sighed, crossing one leg across the other--and winced when his foot came in contact with something. The culprit--a plastic pink bird-- toppled to the floor and he scowled at it.

Really. Weren't the pink flamingos a bit much? Ahiru liked birds well enough, but the damn things were everywhere.

[ ooc: This can be comment logged or action post logged, whichever you prefer! (I did an action post part above, but don't feel like you have to do the same if you want to go the simple route.) ♥ I didn't elaborate too much on what the Host Club prepared, since I didn't have anything too clear, so feel free to do so yourselves if you wish, HC members! And if there's anything I need to change/edit, do let me know. Thank you! ]

"Oh, I know! But parties are best when everyone enjoys them, right?" She was so excited she could barely contain her energy, so she threaded her fingers together in front of her and rocked back and forth on her heels. "It's beautiful! I've never had my name on a cake before...and the one that Mytho and Fakir and Rue made is so big!"

Sakura smiled. "It's nice to have a birthday party, a real one." She'd remembered her own birthday party, months ago, on the beach with her friends, and Rubedo. It had marked the one year anniversary of her stay, the closest thing to a birthday she could celebrate, now.

"They worked hard for you."

"I...I know!" Her smile softened slightly, and she paused for a moment, her eyes shining as though they might be wet. "It...it really does mean a lot to me."

Sakura's smile softened in return, eyes clear and sober. "I know."

"I'm glad you're enjoying everything though."

"Thank you!" She paused, then looked around the room. "Have you seen anyone else yet? There's a lot of people here..."

Sakura shook her head. "Mm, I haven't really. I think Sarah said she was coming though, so I'll find her when she comes."
