Tea Party || log; ongoing

When; Sunday the 17th, afternoon
Rating; PG-13 for possible language, violence(!?) & moody magical girls
Characters; MKR crew plus guests
Summary; When Road's and Umi's long-awaited tea party finally occurs, the former doesn't truly expect that long guest list to be much of a problem. Why should she?
Log;

The house smelled of roses and homemade bakery. In, fact, the apartment had never felt as much like home as it did on that very moment. Umi looked around and felt completely satisfied with the arrangements. At least she'd managed to get the place to feel cozy in time to play host.

Right, so there'd been a couple of obstacles to overcome, like that annoying sleep curse. Umi made a face as she set down a plate of freshly baked scones on one of the decorated tables. The damn thing had had her off snoring all Thursday long. She'd needed to run to catch up once she'd recovered the spirit to crawl out of bed. It'd been a small miracle that the invitations had been written and delivered (a miracle made possible by Ken's and Rin's assistance) and the last minute shopping done.

Fortunately everything was in place and awaiting their friends' arrival. The tables were beautifully arranged with all sorts of homemade pastries. Several varieties of tea were available for the guests to choose from. C's and Kimihiro's help at the kitchen had been invaluable, and Road had done quite a great job at making the place look more festive. There would even be sake as a stronger choice of a drink for those Umi knew would appreciate it, thanks to Misao's own contribution.

The water Knight sighed with accomplishment. Finally a small celebration to make up for all the messes The City had put them through during the last weeks, including her fateful trip Underground. She smiled as she smoothed the skirts of her dress. Nothing could go wrong from here.


[ooc: I'm off to bed for tonight, guys. @_@ Please feel free to assume Umi wandered off and will be around bringing tea and cake to the guests. Take this wherever you want~ ♥]

How was it that, even though he couldn't see (and she had to remind herself of that occasionally- though she preferred not to think about it at all), he was always able to find the top of her head?

"Shiki!"

She leaned against him and dug her heel into his foot.

"OW!"

He jerked away, probably dragging a hair or two with him.

"What the hell was that for?"

"I owed you one. And now I owe you another one because you pulled my hair."

Shiki reflexively reached deep into his deck of low blows to defend himself from incoming pain.

"You wouldn't hit a blind guy, would you?"

Leave it to Shiki to bring her up short. Taiga let out an exasperated huff. "...fine. I'll let you have a pass this once." Her voice was quiet, almost subdued.

"Thanks." Shiki stepped off real quick. He at least knew his way around this room here. "Let me go grab you something to drink since your hands are full."
