[ OPEN ] Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time

[ombranera]

WHO: Zevran and YOU
WHAT: Zevran's Birthday and Ardent Blossom Contest
WHEN: Forward dated to Guardian 5
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Shenanigans connected to this announcement

Someone had been a sneaky little shit, preying on Zevran's lack of familiarity with traditions and dates and the weight people tend to put on something so mundane as a 'birthday'. Someone (Alistair) had spread word and made a thing of it, despite Zevran not seeing the point nor truly wishing to cause a fuss. He had, however, decided to take a day for himself to do nothing. No fuss, no stress, no real work. A day to indulge in a few of his many hobbies. He did not know what one did on their birthday normally but here he was, sitting in the Courtyard with one of his found spoils on his head, awaiting those that paid mind to his earlier announcement. When he wasn't idly sketching whoever he saw in the courtyard he was in the Herald's rest, enjoying a quiet drink and making notes on the better stories or songs he has heard throughout the day.

"Gircio." It's a soft correction, not done unkindly. He reached up to squeeze her shoulder in thanks but- Amico wasnot something handed out so easily in his shade of Antiva. She has no way of knowing the context and with most that learn the language? That was the one they reached for first as it was the word that fit their broad and baffling definition of friend. "Grazie, mio Gircio."

"Gir-ci-o." Katniss sounded it out, then said it again with a more firm grasp, "Gircio. I'm not much with languages, but I wanted you to hear Antivan on your birthday." She gave him another smile, and gently covered his hand with her own, before going to rise. "And I hope? You get many more good surprises today."

"Perhaps if you like I could teach you more, yes?" Later, today was for lazing about. "As do I, Katniss. As do I. Remind me when your birthday is so I might help you celebrate it properly, yes?"

Katniss grinned, before she nodded her head excitedly. "I'd love it. But not today - today I like to think of you lazing around in all your fancy things." She waggled her eyebrows, before she made a brief face, "Oh, in about three hundred and fifty days. But if I make it to twenty-two, I'll throw a party and you'll be a guest of honor."

She dipped into a bow again, with a slight hand flourish. "Until later, my dear Zevran."
