Bon Anniversaire a Toi

[halfbread]

Who: Jehan, Demeter Cabin, anyone wanting to wish the tiny Frenchman happy birthday
What: Jehan's surprise party, because it's his birthday
Where: Cabin 4, the party cabin!
When: Today, March 6
Warnings: No clue!

Of course Peeta's doing something for his brother's birthday, although unlike the café last month, this is more low-key and informal. Over the past couple of days he's spread the word around camp quietly, a word in an ear at a pegasus riding lesson or at an encounter on the training fields, and hopefully no one's told Jehan. When the time finally comes for the party, a collusion with Naomi has gotten Jehan away from their cabin to help her practice her powers. Though knowing Naomi, she'll likely end up in a tree somehow. At least it gives him and whoever shows up to help him time to set up.

There's food, of course, though it's all simple stuff this time and not anything so elaborate as Valentine's Day: various sandwiches, vegetable sticks, fruit slices, a few bowls of candy and pretzels. And of course a cake, because this is Demeter Cabin and this is just what they do, and Jehan has a sweet tooth that's bigger than his body. Anyone's welcome to stop by and grab some food or say hi to the birthday boy, but any fighting will be ejected in a rugby tackle from Peeta so just warnin'.

"Okay, what is that look?" She's not making any promises, Jehan. She was so recently called out for being a liar, after all.

"I don't think you can just randomly decide something is going to be a tradition, y'know."

[shylyintrepid]

He just ignores that first question. "But that's how traditions get started, Ep!" he points out. "Someone just goes 'oh, we'll do this from now on'. Like fashion."

[ospreyed]

"So you're going to use the most hated camper to try to start a new, positive tradition?" Okay, it's your birthday, but that's stretching it.

[shylyintrepid]

He snorts. "You are not the most hated camper," he says, certain of this. "I'm fairly certain Allison Argent is."

Eponine rolls her eyes. She kinda wanted that title, Jehan, thank you so much. "Yeah? She just nearly got us killed. I got all of our fun taken away. Kind of a toss-up, don't you think?"

[shylyintrepid]

"Fun we weren't supposed to have anyway. Really, Mr. D was slacking, letting it go as long as he did. Allison wins. Or loses. Whichever."

[ospreyed]

"That's the best kind of fun," she says pointedly. Honestly, she's still pissed off about it all. The mental aspects of withdrawal were still very much alive within her.

"I guess Hermes' kids can't take all the glory."
