WHO: Anyone who wants to come!
WHAT: Cyril plans a surprise party for Sam and Kirk
WHEN: This Saturday
WHERE: Sam and Kirk's home
NOTES: This is the party Cyril started planning here. I'm going to include two header comments for prep before the party, and for Kirk and Sam to come home so everyone can enjoy the 'Surprise!' moment, otherwise, please treat this like a normal mingle post, put in your characters enjoying the party and tag around!

Cyril was pleased with how many had wanted to help with this party. Christine had offered to distract both Kirk and Sam. Adasse had put together some tasty potatoes. Korrin had arrived to help arrange furniture to use the space better for a crowd and had brought spiced wine and sweets. Anders had helped with decorations.

They had done well, even with the food shortage, and the house smelled inviting thanks the the work of everyone coming together.

"Enjoying yourself, Rey?" Kirk asked his friend when she came over.

He hoped he hadn't scandalized her to much with his earlier display with Samouel - which totally had not been planned. This is why he hated surprises. He wasn't sure he had even told Rey he was with someone, not that it mattered, but still. What a way to find out.

Rey had only been a little scandalized. She's become more accustomed to open displays of affection since leaving Jakku, though she hadn't realized that Kirk was with anyone. Though their conversations didn't often go in the direction of personal life.

"I am," Rey replies to his question, smiling. "This is the first li--Name Day celebration I've ever been to, so I haven't got much for comparison, but I like it."

"Birthday," Kirk supplied for her, his lips twitching in an amused smile. "Name Day, Life Day, whatever you call it - I'm glad you came out to celebrate. Good company goes a lot further than any trinket. Hopefully we set the standard."

"Life Day is more common where I'm from, though it gets confusing because there's also a Wookiee holiday called Life Day..." Which was another thing she'd never really celebrated. Since coming to Thedas, she'd learned a lot more about holidays and celebrating small things. Clearing her throat and holding up the box she'd brought she smiles again.

"I know enough that presents can still be appreciated. These you can share, though. I made them myself, with some direction from the kitchen staff." Inside the box are two dozen simple butter cookies, which have been shaped to look like simplified blasters. The cookie cutter that made the shape, which is obviously something Rey hand-made, is also in the box.

Kirk took the box curiously and popped it open to peer inside. He let out a bark of laughter when he saw the cookies, taking one and holding it up, inspecting the shape. He grinned brightly at it, like a kid discovering a new piece of candy. He turned the cookie at Ray, pointing it towards her and cocking his wrist back like he had fired it.

"Bang!" he chortled before taking a bite out of the barrel of the cookie. "These are great, Rey. Thank you so much!"

The smile that spreads across Rey's face as Kirk enjoys his cookie is bright and genuine, the kind she doesn't have often. She's very pleased he likes her gift, as she'd worked relatively hard on it.

"I couldn't get a real blaster working, I was hoping these would be a somewhat acceptable substitute. Happy birthday, Jim."
