Ianto would have batted his back, but it floated away merrily.

"They're great, thank you," he ginned, crossing the room again to pick up more chairs. "And it is, yes."

Gwen couldn't help but shoot hers towards Ianto, chuckling all the while. "They're very festive. She'll love them."

With the vote of approval out of the way, Martha's smile widened as she turned the bag upside down only to watch all the balloons go floating rapidly all around and up. They really did look nice. Slightly pleased with this, she balled up the trashbag and went to toss it out.

"So when are we expecting miss Sato?" she asked, excited and happy for Tosh, who deserved this and much more.

"A bit later," Ianto called from halfway across the room, dragging a couple of chairs across, "I thought it would be best if some people were here first, to surprise her."

Tosh finally arrived, sneakily brought in by Abby, and grinned when she saw Martha. "You did a good job of not letting on about this earlier."

"Toshiko Sato!" Martha beamed and strode over to her to embrace her. "Happy birthday, you." Looking around briefly, a hand still on Tosh's shoulder, she nodded in appreciation. "Quite a bash. Ianto is a fantastic organizer. From what you said, I take it you were completely surprised then?"

"Thank you, Martha," Tosh replied, returning the embrace. "Ianto is a fantastic organizer, and we all know how sly he can be. I had no idea, I was...going to just ignore the date and not think too much about it."

Shaking her head now at such a notion, Martha made a sort of tsk tsk noise and sighed.

"Tosh, you deserve to celebrate this...you're beautiful, and brilliant, and....just fantastic...here." Rifling through her shoulder bag, Martha paused before pulling out a neatly wrapped box, finished with a soft lavender wrapping paper and a translucen white ribbon, simple but elegant. Like Tosh. With any luck, the (http://www.rovaldesign.com/bridal_necklace_2%20strand.jpg) she'd picked out would suit her...it was hard to shop for...well anyone, especially when one wanted the recepient to really enjoy it.

Tosh was pretty sure she was going to spend the night red as a beet with all the compliments people were giving her. Although she was definitely not going to ask anyone to stop.

Taking the gift, she ducked her head and grinned, carefully unwrapping it as she spoke. "You're too much, Martha, honestly... Oh god, that's gorgeous. Martha! Thank you!"

She liked it. Thank goodness. Martha well enjoyed shopping but something about jewelry hunting made her nervous, probably because each person's taste on such a specific matter tended to differ unpredictably. Truthfully, she had just chosen what most reminded her of Tosh. It seemed such a tactic had served well.

"I'm glad you like it, Tosh....I won't keep you all to myself, be rather selfish wouldn't it with all these people here to tell you they adore you?" she teased a bit but meant every word. "I'm so glad to know you Toshiko," she added and then, "Really, happy birthday."

Since Tosh hadn't known about the party ahead of time, and therefore hadn't had the chance to dress up or anything for it, she was wearing just the usual jeans and sweater she tended to work in. But she figured the necklace would go well enough with that, and even if not, it was her birthday and a gift from Martha and she'd wear it if she wanted to!

So she took the necklace out of the box and carefully put it on, then gave Martha another hug. "I'm glad to know you too. And thank you. For coming, and for the gift, and just...everything. Thank you."

"It was my pleasure," she said, returning the embrace in full, holding the other woman tightly for a moment before releasing and stepping back and admiring her with the gift. "It suits you perfectly," she said. Biting her lip thoughtfully, she tilted her head as she stepped back a bit, the room crowded already, watching so that she didn't bump into anyone on accident. "You tell me all about the rest of this party when I drop by for breakfast sometime this week....you better remember every detail!" It was a joking kind of warning but she really did hope Tosh remembered as much of it as possible, both because it would mean she enjoyed herself a lot, and to tell her about it. Waving, at Tosh, she paused before slipping out through the crowd.
