[Open] Birthday Partying
Who: Nanako and Everyone else!
When: the afternoon of October 4th
Where: Nanshe's Temple
What: It's Nanako's 7th birthday! She's invited everyone over for cake.
[ The party is a little last minute, because Nanako hadn't exactly planned on having anything until a few days before, but it doesn't take much to make her happy and the decorating was simple enough to do, especially when she enlisted some of her friends for help.
Her temple is decorated with some streamers and colorful balloons in pink and purple, the doors swung open so people could go in and out as they wished, since the weather was still warm, even for October.
There's a birthday cake, too, although it's small and round and meant mostly for Nanako, seven candles placed carefully atop it, waiting to be blown out. Instead of making a cake big enough for everyone who might show up, she instead had asked for help baking cupcakes, some chocolate, some vanilla, the frosting in flavors of peanut butter or strawberry and mixed and matched between them.
Nanako herself is dressed up in a pink flowery dress, not quite so fancy as what she wore for the dinner party a few nights past, but something a little nicer than every day, her hair done up with pink ribbons. She looks a little nervous when the first few guests show up, unsure if anyone would really come, but once her friends start showing up, that's entirely forgotten as she is happy to see everyone who shows up to visit and happily bounces between all her guests to say hello and make sure they get a cupcake.
And if she looks like she's concentrating especially hard on her wish when she blows out her candles? Well. She's doing her best. Celebrating with her friends and almost-family here might not be the same as what her birthday might have been at home, but she's still happy for the chance, all the same. ]

Although you seem to have plenty of cake already! Did you make those cupcakes yourself?

[ Even if she should probably worry that she'd gone a little overboard. Then again, with Ken and Goten coming? Maybe not... ]
no subject
[Or, say, Goten, who can polish off a table full of cakes and look for more. Hakkai chuckles easily.]
But they look lovely. You're shaping up to be a very talented baker.

[Conspiratorially, leaning forward, he recommends:] But you might want to hide any cake that's going to be for midnight snacks, just in case.
And that gives me an idea! [His smile brightens a little.] For your next math lesson, would you like to work on how to scale a recipe to serve a bigger or smaller group?
[Fractions, multiplication, division and possibly a cake, considering that the school still has a working kitchen he's managed to keep the clinic from taking over full-time. He should see if he can wrangle Goten into that lesson too.]

At his suggestion, though, her eyes round a little as her mouth drops open in surprise. ] We can cook for math?
no subject
Why don't you bring a recipe that looks delicious, and I'll bring one that I like, and we can work on them together?

[Math first, cooking as a prize for a well-done math lesson. He beams encouragingly at her.]
But I shouldn't bother you about schoolwork at your birthday party!

I'll look forward to seeing it, then, Nanako. Pick one with plenty of ingredients!
