Birthday

Steve notices. "Thinking about something?"

Zelk stops playing with her necklace and after a short pause she says, "Oh, nothing."

Feeling lethargic watching the girl set up her dolls, Konrad follows the conversation with his eyes, which land on the sapphire necklace. Pretty...


Spellcraft

Konrad detects no magic from this necklace.

"It looks great on you." He smiles at her.

Zelk blushes and tries to ignore Steve.

to Breeze - "Hey Facehugger, wanna do yours next?"

"Yeah, it's my turn now!" Breeze responds as she flies towards Velstar and lands on her shoulder. "Hey Granny, you still have it on you?"

"I do," the old woman replies.

"Then let's do it!"

Velstar grins, and then slowly pulls something out of her left sleeve; a long and colorful scarf identical to the one Breeze is wearing around her waist, but human sized. Breeze grabs one end of the scarf, runs on the table towards her friend and presents the gift to her.

"Happy birthday!" she tells her.

Yennefer's face beams with happiness.

"Thank you Breeze," she says as she takes the scarf in her hands.

"Nice! It really turned out. Try it on Yen."

Yen promptly follows Steve's suggestion and wraps the long scarf around her neck.

Breeze gives her a thumbs-up and says, "Looks great on you Yen!"

Half of her face hidden behind her last present, Yennefer giggles.

"Seems like that's one thing I won't need to buy for you," Fedler comments, a warm smile on her face. "Thank you Breeze."

"I live to serve!" the fairy declares while striking a hero pose.

Steve raises his arms above his head and goes "Wooooooooo!" and begins clapping for the hero.

"Black Feather and Facehugger...." - Mihai muses - "Got a nice ring to it."

Konrad smiles and claps as Breeze runs on the table with the scarf.

"So, who's next?" Breeze asks. "Fedler, right?"

The redheaded hunter's gaze falls on Steve. "Should I go first?"

"If you wouldn't mind? My gifts may be a little distracting once I get started."

He glances sidelong at Steve, and mumbles in a slightly miffed but good humored tone - "I was saving it for last, you know..."

Then picks up the final box - "This one's from Mom." - and hands it to Yen.

The little girl takes the large box in her hands and carefully unwraps the brown paper, revealing a box cover on which is written: Lords of Firepool.

"Oh!" Breeze exclaims. "I've seen that! It's a game, isn't?"

"Yes," Fedler confirms. "You need other people to play it with, but I don't think that'll be a problem."

"Thanks!" Yen says as she opens the box to see what's inside. "Wow, there's so much stuff."

"We're gonna play it later, right?" the fairy asks.

"Yeah!"

OOC:

Steve playfully shrugs in answer to Mihai's joke. "Hey, Lords of Firepool, nice! Count me in."

Konrad looks at the game like it fell out of the sky, and then attempts to mask it. "'Firepool'? Of course! Deal me in as soon as we finish off the gifts."

"Yeah!" Breeze exclaims. "We've already got a few players!"

"Now calm down," Zelk says. "Konrad is right, we still have a few more gifts to give."

"So who's going first?" Velstar asks with an innocent smile before she settles her eyes on Mihai. "How about you?"

With a slight tilt of his head, Mihai looks back at Velstar for a second, before replying - "I did go first."

"Uh?" Breeze doesn't seem to understand.

"He already gave his gift," Yen explains. She then points to Fedler's head and adds, "It's the hairpin she's wearing."

"Oh! It's beautiful."

The hairpin in question appears to be made of silver and gold, with the end shaped into petals. Fedler is a little embarrassed.

Hairpin:

Steve leans forward to take a better look. "Well done, Mihai. It's very fetching, Fedler."

The redhead shyly smiles and responds with a, "Thank you."

"Was a joint effort." - he remarks with a slight shrug, as he glances complicitly at Yen.
