get ready everybody 'cause here we go

[dashing]

WHO: Saoirse, Herian & open.
WHAT: a combined birthday hangout.
WHEN: 30th Haring.
WHERE: The Hanged Man.
NOTES: Drink up now and turn up hungover to the Firstday feast. Open invitation over here, no need to reply to the network post or even have prior cr in order to attend. Please add any warnings to subject lines if they come up.

"Party" would be an extreme word for it; the more accurate word would be "casual gathering of people with liquor readily available." It is The Hanged Man, though, so who knows what shenanigans could unfold.

They've taken over a corner of the inn, and though there isn't much in the way of decorations - making sure the place could be easily accessed after all that snow was work enough - there are a couple of strings of bunting.

Don't get too wild; it'd be unfortunate if Herian had to interrupt her own (shared) birthday celebration in the sake of preserving the Inquisition's reputation. (Or do get wild, and simply shrug it off as The Hanged Man's influence. Whatever.)

Be sure of one thing, though - at least one round is one Herian. Maybe. If you're a close friend, or look particularly glum.

Which might be fitting considering the way Saoirse holds onto it like a child and touching it gently as if she is afraid of somehow messing it up despite how hard that might be. But that's what happens when one is so very unused to gifts, even the most simple of gifts like children's song books.

Listening, she smiles warmly with a hum. "I'll have to sing these sometime. Will you come to listen if I do? There are more of us from Starkhaven now so perhaps we can make a fun night of it."

He smiles a little to watch her receive it so, but immediately goes bright red when Saoirse invites him to further interaction. "Oh-- um. I. Yes, I suppose." He rubs the back of his neck, his palm shifting from there to press against his mouth. Will he be welcome there, even among others from Starkhaven? It's always his main question, and the answer isn't always clear.

"Really? Good, I think it could make for a fun evening." She says, hugging the book close and grinning in thought. Of course, they would have to get some good drinks from Starkhaven but the drinks here weren't so bad either.

"It'll give me the chance to give my gifts from home. I might have went a little overboard but I found some really pretty river rocks."

He'd nearly forgotten about the rocks, but Saoirse's reminder sparks something in Cade's eyes. He almost smiles, perking up slightly. "Really?" he asks, and catches himself immediately, beginning to blush and looking away again. "I mean-- thanks, you didn't have to. It's... it was a stupid request."
