"Well, I'm afraid all I know are odd Earth dances, so I suppose it'll have to be. But probably just something like a waltz, I imagine. You know, a couples dance," Tosh answered. "Might see if I can wheedle Jack into one too."

"I know what a waltz is," she said, a little smartly though all in good fun. "I'm sure he'd love to dance with you today, Toshiko."

"Maybe. He's been a bit hard to pin down lately," Tosh said. "But I suppose if there's any time I could get a dance out of him, it'd be my birthday. You know, bet he'd dance with you too if you asked. Though then Ianto'd probably cut in. He did at Gwen's wedding."

"You should definitely take advantage of the situation. Be opportunistic." Time to finish the cake. "I would never start a dance I don't intend to see finished."

"Oh, as if I haven't already, going around getting hugs from people and making them eat cake and all," Tosh laughed. "Think I might have scandalized Caspian a bit, but hopefully he'll put it up to high spirits."

"Scandalized Caspian?" Oh, now she was interested.

"Oh, it's nothing that bad! I just kissed his cheek. Which I will admit straight off is not something I usually do to even people I know well, but then I don't usually have people kissing my hand either, so he started it," Tosh protested. "I just think he was a little shocked. Although he hid it pretty well."

"I love your methods of deduction and reasoning," said Leia, not fighting the laughter that came easily and naturally.

Tosh laughed as well. "They may be a little befuddled by all the excitement at the moment," she admitted. "And you know, there's that thing where it's people I'm trying to reason out, and people will insist on being unpredictable."

"When have people ever insisted on being anything but unpredictable?"

"Which is why I understand machines so much better," Tosh replied. "He brought me larkspurs. And Abby's friend Gren brought me flowers too."

"I'm still looking for the perfect thing for you," Leia pointed out, not feeling obligated but wanting to let Tosh know either way.

"Leia, that wasn't a hint for more presents!" Tosh exclaimed. "I only mentioned because of the flowers! Which I, you know, sort of really like getting."

[nogoldbikinis.livejournal.com]

Leia laughed, reaching over to grasp Tosh's upper arm and give it a friendly squeeze. "I know. I only felt like informing you. What sort of flowers?"

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

Tosh pulled a face at Leia that was the adult equivalent at sticking out her tongue in response to the laughter, then pointed out the flowers of unknown description that Gren had brought. "Those are from Abby's friend, he's a musician here. The larkspurs are from Caspian, as I mentioned, and the tiny iris in the bowl is from Ishiah. I've got to look up the meaning behind that when I get a chance."

"They're all very beautiful," Leia said with admiration, looking at each of them in turn. "I'm glad there are so many things about all of this that you've enjoyed."

[warped-inside.livejournal.com]

Taking a moment to enjoy the scent of the flowers again -- and reminding herself she really should spend more time in the hothouse -- Tosh nodded at Leia, beaming. "Like I told Luke, this is one evening I am never going to forget."

Leia pulled Tosh in for another quick hug and said, squeezing her, "I'm glad."
