It didn't take Gwen too long to cart all the mystery pizzas to Lux, and as soon as they were settled, she peeked in on Ianto.
"She's not here yet?"
"She's not here yet?"
He looked up from setting out the chairs.
"Not yet. Abby's bringing her here later once there's more people so it'll be a surprise."

Martha managed to snag some balloons earlier in the day, to add to the decorated space when she arrived. None of them had string however, and she entered the Lux carrying a huge trash bag, each balloon filled with helium, an opalescent quality that made them look like bubbles, which would be clear once she opened the bag. Waving to Gwen and Ianto, she shot them a grin.
"Long time no see, the both of you!"

"Hey, Martha," Ianto called, leaning back to see the person that had just entered.
He eyed what she was carrying curiously. "Glad you could come.!

Gwen looked over when Ianto did, beaming a grin at Martha.
"Hullo! It's so good to see you!"
"Hullo! It's so good to see you!"
"I brought some balloons," she said, explanatory as she opened the bag and tossed a couple in the air, batting them at Ianto and Gwen respectively.
"Pretty, festive, I thought they'd...be a small last minute addition she might like," she said and added, "Glad to be here...always good to be with friends."

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.

[He ducks in briefly, looking somewhat of a mess. His hair is tied back and his face shows the wear of a hard day's work on the Black Swann. The flowers in his hand however are quite fresh!]
"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."
[Looks over from where he's dragging chairs about.]
Hi there. You here for Tosh's party?

Briefly.
[He moves like he's sore, because well, he is. Caspian raises the wrapped larkspurs to Ianto.]
Would you give these to her for me? I am Caspian.

[Leaves the chair and moves over to Caspian]
Of course. Although I'm sure she'd like it if you stayed.
[Oh, it's that Caspian. Ianto stops himself from staring.]
Are you all right?

[Oh, it's that Caspian. Ianto stops himself from staring.]
Are you all right?
I apologize, I do not think I can.
[That Caspian? He nods to Ianto and rolls his left shoulder back.]
I had a long day and underestimated the work.

At some point, Jack blew through the door like a whirlwind. All his banners flying as the saying went, coat billowing behind him as he strode through Lux with a beaming smile on his face.
"Well then! Where's the girl of the hour?"
"Well then! Where's the girl of the hour?"
All right, then. You're welcome if you change your mind, though.
[That Caspian that Tosh told him about.]
Ah not good. It sounds like you should rest.

[... Were they good words or bad words?]
Thank you, sir. I do not believe I caught your name?

When Tosh was accosted by Abby at the amusement park and dragged down to the Lux, she assumed Gren must be having a set and Abby wanted company. A more suspicious person might have wondered if there was something else going on, but Tosh was not that person.
So when she came through the door and saw the decorations and people, she looked around in confusion.
"Hi...Ianto? Is there some kind of party going on?"

[Good words!]
Ah, I'm Ianto. Nice to meet you. [holds out hand to shake]

Yet another masterful grand entrance, as made by the masterful Captain Jack.
"Not here, yet," Ianto called from a back room, someplace.

[Oh whew! He shakes hands with Ianto, a firm grip even though the rest of him is sore.]
It is a pleasure, Ianto. I hope that the celebration goes well, I thank you for the offer of hospitality.

Looking up from what he was doing, Ianto grinned.
"Didn't you know it's someone's birthday, today?"
"Didn't you know it's someone's birthday, today?"
Stopping in his tracks, Jack laughed and set his hands on his hips.
"Damn, there went my grand entrance, ah well. Need help with anything, Ianto?"

"Yes, well it's-"
Tosh stopped dead in her tracks and stared at Ianto. Then another really good look around, and back to Ianto again. "It's my birthday today..." she said hesitantly.
