Room 414, Tuesday Afternoon

Jan 28, 2014 21:01

There was no party for Karolina's birthday. Even the all-important paperwork declaring her a legal adult and a free person hadn't come in yet, which was a bit of an anticlimax, but what could you do? She still knew it was coming. It was about the only thing that was. The other paperwork concerning her parents' money had already shown up, and she ( Read more... )

Victor had just gotten off the phone with the Karolina at home, and he figured the one here could use a birthday visit too.

"Hey," he said, leaning into the room with a small, lumpy package concealed behind his back. "Happy birthday. How's adulthood so far?"

"Hey, Vic," Karolina replied, looking up and giving him a little wave, which turned into pushing her hair back behind her ear. "It's... fine, I guess? A little weird. Mostly just exactly the same as not being an adult."

"That's about how it seems to me too," Victor admitted, with a little laugh. "I just figured it's the question you're supposed to ask. Anyhow" -- and here he produced the lumpy thing from behind his back -- "Happy birthday."

The package contained a stuffed dolphin, a tote bag, and a dolphin adoption certificate.

Karolina's eyebrows bounced. "Aww, thank you, you shouldn't have."

Wasn't going to stop her from accepting the package, though. Lumpy or not. And as soon as she'd opened it and seen the contents, she was beaming up at him. "Victor! You really shouldn't have, but thank you!"

There was a tiny knock on the door - because Liara still wasn't over that.

She had a plate of cupcakes in one hand. "Karolina."

"Come on, Liara, you don't have to knock!"

Karolina was going to keep saying that for as long as it took for Liara to get over that.

But, she was also pretty quickly distracted.

"Are those cupcakes?"

"I believe a celebration was in order," Liara said. There was a smile on her face and a little skip in her step. "So I went to JGOBs and asked them for something appropriate."

They were rainbow cupcakes.

Well of course. Karolina waved her in, smiling.

"You didn't have to." Yeah, that was basically Karolina's catchphrase today. "But thank you."
