[Here's another party-lurker. In fact, he's literally only here to manage his S. Links talk to Katara and ignore any of the actual festivities of the event. This really isn't his thing, but it's probably a good idea to at least say hi, right? He's not particularly busy at the moment anyway, so it should be okay to do that much.

...but that doesn't mean other people can't bother him anyway, before he makes his escape.]

[mydearapple]

Says who? [He was trying to be modest. But he has this vague feeling he's not going to get away with saying no again.] I guess a little would be all right.

[markofthebrave]

[That's right, he's not. But instead, since he's being so cooperative, he'll get a smile.]

It's good cake! The food's over here.

[She'll just start walking, leading him over.]

[mydearapple]

[And, of course, he'll follow her.] I'm sure it's not bad.

[markofthebrave]

[And here they are, at the food table!] Of course not! Sanji made these two [She gestures to the orange and the vanilla with whipped cream.] and Regal made this one [she points to the vanilla with nuts.] They're both really good!

But I think that the orange is my favorite. I didn't even know you could do that with cake!

[mydearapple]

I'm not sure I've ever had cake like that, either. [He looks over them, but he doesn't really have a preference, so a moment later he'll reach for a plate and serve himself.] Ice cream, too, huh?

[markofthebrave]

[HA! She knew you were a normal boy, somewhere in there. Deep down.]

Yeah! We've got it over here. I've been coming by and keeping it cool, so it should be good.

[Help yourself to an assortment of flavors.]

[mydearapple]

They're making you work on your birthday? [Said teasingly, of course. After he takes a slice of cake, he'll certainly be going over to get some ice cream, too.]

[markofthebrave]

Why should I let it melt if it doesn't have to? [She watches with approval as he grabs some food, and swipes a crumb off of a piece of cake herself.]

[mydearapple]

Fair enough. [He shrugs a bit. Vanilla ice cream sounded alright. He'll immediately try the cake once he's gotten everything.]

[markofthebrave]

Wanna go sit on the shade over there? [She points.] Unless there are some other people here you want to go talk to.

[mydearapple]

[He doesn't answer right away, deciding whether or not the cake was worth it. It didn't taste too bad, so eh, what the heck.]

Nope, we can sit.

[markofthebrave]

Oh can we. Well, that's very gracious of you.

[mydearapple]

I wouldn't want to take all the credit. You're the one who offered.

[markofthebrave]

You're right! So I guess it's very gracious of me! [And she starts towards the shaded area.]

[mydearapple]

Right, right, whatever you say. [He shakes his head as he follows after her.]
