Jason's Birthday Party!

[loyaltyinmotion]

The party is all set up: there's meat cooking, drinks chilling, and music playing. They're set up at the edge of the forest that's closest to the lake, so anyone feeling the urge for a midnight swim doesn't have far to go

Birthday Wishes

[loyaltyinmotion]

Jason found a folding camp chair and is lounging in it with a cold beer. Yes, he's probably high, but he's in good spirits in his tasseled party hat. Come bring him a gift, bring him a beer, wish him a happy birthday!

No gift? He's accepting birthday BJs as well!

Nathaniel comes up behind Jason and slides his arms around his best friend's neck, resting his chin on Jason's shoulder. After a moment, he presses a kiss to Jason's throat.

"Happy birthday," he murmurs.

Jason claps his hands over Nathaniel's arms, giving them a friendly squeeze.

"Thanks, Nat. I'm really glad you suggested this: a party is just what we all needed."

"Your birthday couldn't go unmarked," Nathaniel says, smiling, but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

He knew Jason was high, but unlike the others, he refrained from saying anything.

"I didn't get you a present, though."

Party Mingling, Food and Drink

It's a party, people; and if Jason is going to call in any offers for birthday sex, he needs some time away from the group. See what everyone else is up to!

A lycanthrope's hearing is excellent.

Frighteningly so, especially when no one is trying to be quiet.

Nathaniel has wandered into the woods a bit, finding himself at Moon's tree, and presses his hand to it. He felt stupid. He has no right to feel anything resembling... jealousy... about the 'gift' Asher offered to Jason. He'd never begrudge Jason anything.

Anything.

Jason had always looked out for him. When Jason was well again, he was sure the wolf would again be watching his back.

It still didn't ease that pit in his gut, that roiling he knows he shouldn't feel. He closes his eyes and lets out a breath. He inhales again, exhales again, trying to calm his tumultuous emotions, emotions he simply has no right feeling at this time.

Asher had mingled, a little, and had become distracted enough that he had lost sight of Nathaniel. That is something he is now trying to remedy.

He can follow the leopard's scent, though, and so he does. Frowning when he is close enough to pick up on emotions, to feel the roiling turmoil surrounding his leopard, Asher speeds his steps a little.

"Bon soir, mon chat," he murmurs, slowing as he reaches Nathaniel, eyes bright in the darkness.

Nathaniel all but jumps, spinning around.

He'd been so distracted, Asher had surprised him.

"Asher," he says, trying to muster up a smile. "I... didn't hear you..."

It was lame.

He freely admits it.

A Surprise "Gift"

[loyaltyinmotion]

Jason's wandered away from the group for a quick line and a quick piss. It's getting so he's needing more to keep his buzz going, but he knows it'll upset Nathaniel so he's keeping it to a minimum tonight.

He takes his time getting back to the party, letting that first rush die down a bit before rejoining his friends. When he finally makes it back, there's a bright grin on his face.

"Nat, turn up the music and let's get some dancing in!"

A new face has joined those already gathered.

But it's not really new.

She turns to face Jason, a faint blush on her cheeks as she smiles demurely, almost hesitant to approach him.

"My lord," she greets, finally taking a step towards Jason.

Re: A Surprise "Gift"

Jason stops just short of jumping up on a table to dance. His eyes widen as he takes her in, and for a moment it seems everything has stopped.

His mouth hangs open, searching for a breath. "Khem? Khem, is that you?"

Her scent wafts closer and hits him like a train. "Oh my god..." And then he's rushing forward to take her in his arms.

Re: A Surprise "Gift"

Her arms go around him, a desperate sort of clinging, as if she's been without him for far too many years.

"I could not return, Lord," she whispers, held tight against his body. "I tried, but I could not!"
