[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. ]

Okay! I will!
[ And then she pulls out his gifts and her eyes go wide in delight as she coos over the macaroons and immediately hugs the giraffe close. ]
Oh, they're so cute, Ken! Thank you!

Do you want to try these with me?

Yeah, well... [His brain casts about wildly for a response, and the first thing it comes up with is surprisingly genuine.] Kids should have nice stuff, byon.

Do you want some cupcakes? Are you hungry? I made lots, just in case.

[KEN don't swear around Nanako!!!! But then Ken's never had anyone shield his sensibilities much, so the idea that some words - especially such a mild one - aren't necessarily appropriate around kids is an idea that wouldn't occur to him readily.
At least he'd give pause before dropping any f-bombs in front of her.]
