If you find yourself in a secluded corner of the Nexus, past the rhinestone statue of a... no one quite knows what that is, but it's blobby in shape. And perhaps not a statue at all. If you find yourself there, you might stumble upon a child's birthday party

So rather than approach like a socially confident person, Adia just hangs back a ways and looks confused.
((Too late to tag? I didn't see this until recently. <3))

((Never too late! ♥ Glad to see you!))

((I'm going to be out of town from the 21st to the 28th, but I'll try to tag when I can before and after.))

"This little gal is Anya, and she's Athena," Victor says, straightening Anya's costume because she is super interested in dishevelling herself. Athena, for her part, is being an angel.
((I actually had a similar out-of-townage! Sorry about that, holidays snuck up on me!))

But her costume, once it registers to Adia, sends a shiver through her. Victor couldn't possibly have known that "toaster" is slang for cylon where she's from. Still, it's a little unnerving. "Is it normal for people from Earth to wear costumes on their birthday?"
((Sorry I'm impossibly slow with tagging. My baby got sick right before the holidays and I'm only now just getting my act together. But I didn't forget!))

"It's not a normal thing at all, nope. But this birthday has a history theme, so I decided that we'd be dressing up in historical costumes."
The Doctor strolls by in high-waisted silver pants, a cravat, and laser glasses. "...in some cases, historical costumes that haven't happened yet," Victor points out.
((Gosh, no worries!! I hope your kid's doing okay now.))

"I wish I'd known. I would have worn a toga," she jokes. She follows The Doctor with her eyes. "The future is very shiny," she decides with a small giggle. The girls are cute. It keeps her relaxed. "Athena is a toaster." Ha ha. "Anya is... a pilot? And you're...?"
((She's fine now. Making me get up super early, but that's normal. ;) ))

((I'm glad! Though the getting up super early, oof! :) ))

She leads a little away from the girls. Anya might not retain the information, but Athena has a memory like a video camera, and good hearing besides. "I'm just nervous, is all. I don't know why. I guess I've never had so much control over the process before. Anya was a surprise, Athena was mostly built by Billy, and now I have the control, and I can't hit the final buttons."

She looks over at Athena again. Just a cute little kid, doing cute little kid things. "I don't think you have to worry, Victor... if your son is anything like you, he'll be amazing."

She looks over at her daughters, too. A small, shy smile, unsure of herself.
