He was surprised the gifts had made it in the event but he was happy that they did. For Usagi he had gotten her a bunny plush and silver bunny earrings. He thought the gems had matched Usagi's eyes but he hoped that she would like it. She still really liked stuffed animals as far as he could remember when they had roomed together. For Serenity, he had gotten her black bunny earrings as well but a relatively big cat plush. His own ears pressed against his head as he looked at the gifts.

He hoped they would like them.

Her fingers fidgeted nervously around, unsure to hold in a clasp or to leave down to her sides. A birthday party, though she knew it must be because of Usagi's efforts.. no it was because of Usagi's efforts people were coming to her cabin.

She was so unsure, so very unsure of nearly everything. How to respond, to act, to treat.. or be treated. How..

Then she saw him and her heart grew heavy with grief, but she gave Ritsuka a smile none the less. Her eyes fell from him and off to the side, before she drew them back to hold his eyes.

His ears perk when he sees her and his tail swishes happily as he offers her a smile back. He walked over to her and set her gift in front of her.

"Happy birthday Serenity."

She flinches as he brings his hands before her, holding the gift. Clueless eyes blink down to the plush, then the earrings. Her mouth opens and a soft "oh.." slips from her lips. A few blinks and her eyes are watery.

"R.." her words have seemed to have gone from her, for the time being all she can do is take the gifts with a soft nod and a pout to her lip.

On The Sidelines

Atem was here mainly for Usagi. Of course he wouldn't say that if he was asked, though who would really ask such a thing? The flower shop had disappeared so the roses would have to wait. He was a little angry about that, but in the mess he'd at least managed to find the present he'd gotten for Serenity.

It was akin, sort of, to the charm bracelet he'd bought for Usagi. This one was a silver bracelet, with little star charms that reflected one's mood, or so it said. He had never seen such a thing, but he thought maybe Serenity would enjoy it. Shopping for presents (especially for women) was not his forte.

And so he'd put it in a neat little black velvet box, around which was tied a red satin bow. He hoped that she liked it, but he couldn't really be sure. Damn those flowers for disappearing. They weren't his gift to her, Usagi's in fact, and losing them felt like some sort of failure on his part

"Atem," coming to his side she briefly took in his face before glancing away. It's not as if he would ever be unrecognizable. His outrageous hair, and the golden look to him - he reminded much of her mother, no, of Usagi.

They both loved to talk.

No wonder those two were friends, or .. acquaintances. Or .. "You fill her heart with such joy, being here for her." Crimson eyes slid over to Usagi, whatever they were on this damned world, with whatever it meant here to be .. anything. Even evil.

His eyes raised to the woman speaking with him. Well obviously she'd be here, it was her party after all. He gave her a small nod. It was unfortunate, this party's timing. He knew he'd have to keep well to himself and not drag out anything unwarranted. His emotions were hard to check sometimes, especially when he was like this.

"I am here for you as well." Despite the unpleasantness and her general attitude, Serenity as Usagi was now calling her was... well, she was young, she needed nurturing, she, over time, could become a very good friend. She was not his to nurture and he almost didn't even have the patients for such a thing. But as she was now, she was at least intriguing to talk to from time to time.

He held the box out to her, a small smile on his lips as he couldn't manage much else. "This is for you."

[impureserenity]

Her head tilt to his words; here for you as well, such a concept, she could hardly grasp. Why would he be here for her? Then, again, why would he have even brought her the water in the jail? These people here, they were just as confusing as the ones from her world. They did things that so often made very little sense. Why do something for someone unfavorable?

"Hn.." then to box that was held out to her she raised her brows and studied the square with her eyes. Hesitant, she reached for the gift. Fingers traced the crimson lace before she pinched the fabric and pulled it apart. The string looped between her fingers and she pushed open the box "Oh.." a slip of her shock, before she pierced her lips shut, then they fell into a small frown. It was beautiful. Though, for what she was expecting, was beyond her. She really wasn't expecting a gift.

"Atem.." she brought her eyes up to his, a small nod "Thank you," swallowing the awkward knot in her throat. But she didn't understand, why he would gift her with such a treasure.
