[Uhura's not much of a party girl, but Chekov's family and you just don't miss a birthday in this family. Each one counts because there may not be another one, here or at home. She arrives just at the beginning of the party clad in a modest two-piece in her customary red, with a wrapped chess set tucked under her arm,

There's a beach chair with her name on it so once the chess set is placed on the gift table, she grabs a plate and a couple of kabobs and slides into the seat. It's been a long time since she's been to the beach. She's actually itching to get into the water.]

Hello.

[Pai kneels abruptly next to Uhura. She has little interest in getting to know more humans, but her brother clearly doesn't like how isolated she is. As though he's much better. Almost all the people he knows only know the lie of him.

But. To make him happy, she's trying. That's why she ordered Yin to take her to this party, and why she is currently staring at Uhura. She has all the sweet-faced innocence of a child, but there's something a little creepy about it -- an offness that can't quite be pinned down.

Sorry, Uhura. There's only so much she can fake.]

[The little girl's appearance right beside her is unexpected and Uhura jumps slightly, dropping her kabob onto her plate. Yes, there is something unsettling about this kid, something she can't quite put her finger on, but all in all, she looks normal to Uhura.

Still, there's that inkling that something weird is here. She's not going to ignore that.]

Hello. Having fun?

[sleepingstar]

No. [It's matter of fact rather than complaining. Pai doesn't have fun...and if she did, it wouldn't be among humans.]

You're one of Pavel's friends, aren't you?

[medicos]

Chess at the beach, darling?

[ not that he really needs to ask, to be honest. he knows who that's mainly for. ]

[phonetical]

I know a particular Vulcan that would actually play chess at the beach, but it isn't for him.

[She bites off a mouthful of meat off the skewer and chews thoughtfully before continuing to speak.]

What'd you get him?

[medicos]

Well, that makes much more sense. Seeing as your beau is much more enamored with building elaborate sandcastles, I figured it was for someone else.

[ standard eyeroll, don't mind him. ]

Got Chekov a book. Tolstoy.

[ a shrug. he didn't know what else to get him, okay. ]

[ Once she's done eating and the plate is put down, she'll find herself swiftly scooped up in the arms of her captain as he makes a b-line for the water. HERE WE GOOOO ... ]

[phonetical]

[She barely has her last bite swallowed down before noticing the Captain strolling up to her. Setting the plate down, she prepares to stand up and greet him but he beats her to the punch with his arms around her shoulders and legs. Suddenly, Uhura notices that the sea is getting a little too close for her liking and she's nowhere near being on the sandy ground anymore.]

What the hell--put me down!

[hischair]

[ Wading his way into the water, his grin widens. ]

Whatever the lady wants!

[ Just to draw it out, he swings her sideways in his arms three times before tossing her free into the waves. VICTORYYY! ]
