[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. ]

it true
[ But then he comes and crouches down in front of her and she looks surprised for a moment until he holds out a present to her and her eyes light up. ]
This is for me? Thank you, Suou! Should I open it now? [ She takes the present from him and then leans in to throw her arms about his neck in an exuberant hug. ]
he refuses [1/2]
[Her name catches in his throat as she takes the present and then throws his arms around his neck. Wide-eyed, he instinctively opens his arms to catch her but also tenses as he leans backwards. Her hug isn't strong enough to usually tip him over but it comes unexpected to Suou. He ends sitting on the floor with one arm around Nanako and his other supporting them from falling flat.]

Patting her back gently, he tries to lean back so there's a bit of space between them and she's no longer cling to him. Awkward embarrassment aside, he does feel a warmth in his chest and its hard not to smile at her.
Nanako is happy and that's what matters most.]
It's your day so enjoy it.

Pulling out the hairbows, she makes a happy noise of admiration. ]
Ohhh! They're so pretty! And look! They have wings like mine!

He gives a small nod.]
They made me think of you, so I thought maybe you would like them too.
no subject
They're so pretty, Suou! I love them! Will you help me put them in my hair later?
no subject
I can try...
[He doesn't do anything with his own hair so he knows next to nothing about to help Nanako with her's but he can try. It shouldn't be that difficult. ]

Thank you, Suou! I'm glad you're here with me today, too.
