"Didn't you get the memo? How could I have forgotten to tell you oh all people!" Haman face palmed for a moment. "It's Mineva's birthday today. We're throwing her a party, well... trying to anyways." Haman sighed, maybe this wasn't going to work out as planned at all!
"Cafeteria, about an hour." Haman couldn't have stopped her, told her it wasn't important, because really it wasn't, but she let her go away. It was sweet to see her sweat a little bit, and really, happenings like these usually turned out to be quite memorable. And deepening trust and friendship between Mineva and Cynthia would be invaluable soon enough.
"Grab that blond kid with the camera with you!!" Haman yelled after her.
aaand...at the party.g4merqu33nSeptember 3 2012, 08:29:11 UTC
Cynthia's dressed up in a somewhat girlish and showoffy outfit, and has dragged a blushing cameraboy along with her.
Her present is a maroonish-pink, mono-colored box with a ribbon...closer inspection of the ribbon will show that it's actually physically a part of the box itself.

As soon as she got to the party Mineva found Cynthia, hugging her happily. He usual uniform has been changed out for her new outfit that Haman had given her.
"Cynthia! Yeah! I'm so glad you came!" The child happily took the gift and set it on the table next to the one she got from Bernie, and Char.

"I'm eight. Ten more years, and I'll get to the the 'Queen of Axis'!" It was doubtless she had heard what people called Haman when they though she couldn't hear them. It was both enlightening to know a child so young could understand so much and yet so little, and a bit sad to know she heard that terrible things people whispered about her guardian. "Haman bought me clothes!" It was clear too, that she was happy to be out of that stuff uniform. "She always knows what I like!"
Speak of the Devil and she appears. Haman walked up, beaming proudly, and put a hand on Mineva's head. "Oh good, you brought him." Haman waved her hand at Kensuke, who only shuffled nervously, and held up his camera. "If you would be a dear and make sure I get pictures. Now run along won't you, I'd like to talk to Cynthia." Haman quickly shoo'd the blonde boy away. and he went with out question, only leaving a longing look to Cynthia as we went.
"Good work." Haman complimented her. Even in little things, Haman was always pleased when her orders where followed, no good deed went unrewarded in her eyes. "I'm glad to see you made it. I wouldn't be a party with out you."

[Cynthia shoots Kensuke an apologetic look before turning to Haman.]
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. A party is just what everyone needs, and Lil' sis Minnie's well liked here. The whole affair's turning out pretty great." she smiles, clearly Cynthia's enjoying herself here.
Her voice drops as her gaze drifts over to the gifts. "It wasn't easy, but I got some of the techs to help me make the perfect present for her, in both form and function. It'll help give her joy and protect her from harm."
Cynthia was terribly clever, and quick witted at that, she expected no less from her protege. How dose one express the feeling of pride that welled in Haman's chest?
"I knew I did the right thing, bringing you on Cynthia. You never fail to impress me. If only Kamille could take a page from your book." She sighed, smiling even still. "Oh, have you seen Char? He's here somewhere. You should say hello. And that blond man over there, that Brenard Wiseman, he's one of us as well, so make sure to say hello." Haman clapped Cynthia on the back one, firmly. "I anticipate watching your rise to greatness, my little sparrow. But for now, go enjoy the party alright?"
Cynthia nods. "Newtype-boy's a decent pilot, at least...and I heard he designed the Zeta by himself. Sure, he's a bit awkward, but it can't really be helped, I guess."
She turns towards Bernie. "I've spoke with Wiseman a bit. He's got a pretty good record for a Zaku pilot...by which I mean he hasn't been shot down yet. He might do well if you had any Zeon prototypes to throw at him for testing."
Cynthia's beaming with energy from the praise she's gotten.
"Kamille has many uses, few of them are visible with the naked eye." Haman smirked, it was hard not to think high of a girl with such cunning. Here she was giving Haman a report, albiet a small one, thought Cynthia probably didn't even realize she was doing it at all. "And Wiseman, I've only just set him on the path to earn what he needs." Haman gave her a knowing smirk, as if to say Listen closely, I'm about to tell you a very important secret. "A good leader makes her men earn what they need. They will covet it so much more if it isn't handed to them."
"Didn't you get the memo? How could I have forgotten to tell you oh all people!" Haman face palmed for a moment. "It's Mineva's birthday today. We're throwing her a party, well... trying to anyways." Haman sighed, maybe this wasn't going to work out as planned at all!

[She looks down...for some reason, she doesn't seem too proud of this...]
It's because I worked for it that I have such a strong bond with it...it's not just some cockpit I fell into with an instruction manual.
[Her gaze darts around the room, before focusing on her big sis's next words. Clever girl.]
