"Must have, to get a party like this past a Director of Intelligence."

She's only partially teasing and reaches into her purse to pull out an envelope with Tosh's name written on the front.

"I wasn't sure to what to get you, so I went with something you'd definitely get use out of. Happy birthday."

[ooc: a giftcard in a reasonable sum for an electronics boutique if Tosh doesn't want to open it now.]

"Well, we do work in secrecy back home," Tosh laughed, accepting the envelope and then, after a moment's hesitation, tearing into it. Okay, so it was probably not the best manners, but hey, it was her birthday! She was a little excited.

"George, thank you! May I have permission to hug you?"

[ooc: Tosh is squeeful!]

Toshiko's enthusiasm made George smile to herself, glad that she enjoyed her present, but the request caught her off-guard.

"Oh, of course!"

Hugging wasn't something that George had grown up with much, nor had been much encouraged in federal service or Washington in particular, but it's not like she would say no either.

As a general rule, Tosh did not go around hugging people all that much, but mostly because she was always a little hesitant about what kind of reaction she might get. Tonight, though, she was a bit high on the excitement of the party.

She did at least control herself enough to make it a warm but gentle hug, rather than squeezing the stuffing out of George like she'd done to Luke.

"I'm glad you came."

It was a bit awkward, but George appreciated the gesture all the same. Tosh had been through a lot since arriving in the City and George was glad to see anyone happy while here.

"Well, I could hardly miss it."

It was pretty likely Tosh would be riding this happiness for a while to come.

"I hope you get around and meet the others." She took a moment to point out the members of her team specifically. "That's Jack in the old-fashioned waistcoat and watch ensemble, Ianto in the very nice suit, and Gwen there next to him. That's Torchwood, except for Owen, our medic."

George recognized them from her files, of course, but didn't say anything.

"I might go over and introduce myself," she offered, smiling in reflection of the birthday girl's enthusiasm. "But don't let me keep you from everyone else. You have a lot of friends here today."

"I hope you do, and Martha Jones as well," Tosh replied, pointing Martha out.

She nodded, George was right, there were a lot of people for her to talk to. "Don't run off too quickly, I bet Ianto's got something delicious to eat, and there's cake. And I understand there might be dancing later."

George nodded, although she didn't have particular plans to stay too late. Maybe she should have dragged Logan along after all. "I'll hang around for a bit, I've heard Mr Jones' cooking is excellent."
