Room 324, Late Friday Morning

[vanillajello]

It was Kate's birthday.

Not that that was much evident from anything, except maybe the slightly stilted happy birthday phonecall she'd gotten from her dad earlier, and the far more animated one from Lynda a little later. But it was still her birthday. Seventeen. Hmmh.

She was grabbing a portal to KC in the evening to join Lynda in the Crossroads district's First Friday art thing. And afterwards she was going to take another portal back, and tomorrow morning Lynda was going to fly over to be her weekend guest.

But for now? She was lazing about in a skimpy top and shorts (it was her birthday, she thought she was allowed) with some candy and a random bad movie on her laptop. And wearing her Princess Valhalla boots for no real reason, other than having just checked the insane number of hits on her video.

So far it was an okay birthday.

[ooc: Half-open door, completely open post! Handwavey knowledge of birthday completely fine.

A some bits of AFKness coming up, first as I go to class, and then way later when I go see Scott Pilgrim, but other than that I'm around!]

"I'll stay here until you have to leave," he promised quietly. "And then I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow."

"Unless me and Lynda decide good old KCMO is better than this hellhole and stay there," she joked lightly. "We're not going to. I haven't seen a Parents Weekend without being completely panicked before. I'm too interested to stay away."

"Then, I'll stay and see you tomorrow," he said, nodding. "It sounds like a good plan of action."

[vanillajello]

"And for now, we can just make out and relax," she nodded. "And, on this special occasion, cuddle too."

You know. Because she didn't usually do that.

[therewaslife]

"All right," he laughed, nodding. "Let's do that."

None of those sounded like bad ways to spend some time at all. He was completely game.

[vanillajello]

She cuddled up a little closer to him, then settled down with a happy little sigh.

"Happy birthday, me."

[therewaslife]

"Happy birthday, you," Bod said, dropping a kiss on top of her head and sighing himself. If she was happy, that really was all that he needed to make his day excellent.

[vanillajello]

Then this was just an excellent day all around.

Kate didn't say anything more. Didn't need to. Smiling and clinging to him was enough. She was here and happy and he was a huge part of that.

It was a good birthday.
