Rei's First Birthday

[instrumentally]

Who: Rei Ayanami and friends!
Where: Azalea Town
When: March 30th
Summary: Louie Duck has thrown a birthday party for Rei. :D
Rating: PG

Picnic blankets and tables have been arranged in the garden near the Silver Horn Inn. People may bring their own food, so that it can be shared with others. Small cameras, too. Disposable, with film. So that people may make memories, and take them home with them. There is cake, bought from a grocery store, that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY in large, blue letters made of frosting. There are candles in it, which will be blown out.

Rei Ayanami is sitting at a picnic table, the cake laid in front of her. She examines the camera in her hands. She will take pictures of things that she sees, hoping that she might be able to capture the way that she feels.

Louie is quite pleased with himself. Really, things turned out not only better than he'd expected, but less costly, too. That's a win-win for Louie Inc right there. It's hard to tell, of course, if Rei's having a good time. He wishes he could read her better, but he's pretty sure no level of attention to detail will ever help with that. Maybe it'll just take time, or maybe this is just how it is.

Either way, she's his best friend. (Even if he's still not sure when or how that happened.) And it's her first-ever birthday party! So if he can't tell how she's enjoying it by observing, then you know what? He's going to ask.

"Hey," he keeps it casual as he leans toward her a bit, resting one hand on the picnic table. "So? What do you think?"

[When Kazuki got wind of this whole party idea, he did his best to help while also giving Rei the freedom to decide what she wanted out of it.]

[This was a bit... difficult, when Rei rarely asserted her will about anything, but he was least able to put together a decent spread of food for anyone that came to attend. Little sandwiches, snacky chippy things and whatnot. Sticky was a little upset that he didn't get to make a cake (how dare grocery store cake!!!) but Kazuki placated him enough to be okay with just serving tea.]

Happy Birthday, Rei-chan. How old are you now?

Emporio has never been to a birthday party really, and he's not really sure if his own counts, so...

He stands out.

Not too badly, mind- despite the various influences he's bounced around between, he manages to look astoundingly normal in a spring jacket and jeans. It's just, he very clearly has no idea what he's doing beyond bringing a present, setting it somewhere, and...well. Standing around.

On second thought, maybe the fact that it's Rei's birthday party helps him not stand out that much at all. On that note, oops, he should. Probably greet the birthday girl right? Right.

...Right.

"Uhhhh..." ...This is probably her, sitting at the table. "Hi! ..Um...I'm Emporio," he awkwardly greets, fiddling with his cap. "It's uh...It's nice to meet you?"

....

"Happy birthday!"

He nailed it. He's so good at this.
