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'.

Elsa had volunteered to help with something small, and that something small happened to be the drinks and ice cubes for those drinks. The ice cubes had taken a little trial-and-error before she'd finally gotten them into the shape she desired. The ice cubes had the shapes of various flowers, most notably roses, bluebells, tulips, and morning glories. Small, but it made her very happy to be able to do those without mishap.

She was going to be something of a wallflower, though. Not that she'd mind talking to people if they wanted to talk to her, of course! Unlike a certain son of Hades.

Nico was going to be the biggest wallflower in the face of existence. The amount of people sort of reminded him how, ah, gregarious Jehan was. He was sticking to a corner that was out-of-the-way and in shadow. Possibly pining because this was Nico di Angelo and he was a hardcore shipper of himself/unrequited love (at least to him).

Ugh. He just had to like the guys who were ridiculous social butterflies.

[serenesuccessor]

Excuse you, she did not get stuck in a tree once!

Mostly because Jehan wouldn't let her go near any while they were practicing. But that was besides the point! The point was that she had very successfully distracted Jehan until party time, and barely contained her excitement when she ran ahead to their cabin to give them warning he was coming.

Once the surprise was done she's set about eating the sweets laid out, as well as going around making sure everyone was alright. Odds are any wallflowers will at least be hearing from her once or twice during the celebration, mostly to see if they want anything.

Okay, okay, y'know what? Fine. Fine. Jehan was Eponine's friend.

There. Are you happy now?

Gods.

And because they were friends, well, she was at the party. A little awkwardly, unsure of what even to do. These sort of parties were not her forté. Usually, she'd stuff her face with the food, but she couldn't even bring herself to do that. Well, at least the bruising from her fight with Margot was fading.

While Eponine was a grumpy wallflower, Annie was not grumpy. In fact, she was just better at standing to the side and observing than anything else. With a small plate of fruits, Annie watches contentedly. She's not about to start conversation needlessly, but she's open to it, if someone saw fit to speak to her.

It really is a lovely party.

Charlie may not know Jehan that well, but he is Naomi's brother and he does seem to be having a pretty bad time with the angry girl brigade (one of its members being his sister.) Parties are always a good way to cheer people up and once he heard about it, he had spent a good amount of his time between his other hobbies at camp and made party hats.

Yes, party hats.

They're you're typical conical ones with little pom-poms on the tops and he's decorated each one by hand. As soon as he arrives, he's out handing them out to as many people as he can, including you sulking wallflowers.

After things have calmed down a little, Peeta's going to be hunting down his brother. Of course he's been circulating around this entire time, thanking people for coming and making sure the food's stocked, but this is Jehan's birthday and of course he has a present for him. Come out so he can give it to you, bro.

Hephaistion had to had it to them, Demeter Cabin really did know how to throw a party, and of course he would make it a point to show up for Jehan's birthday. (He kind of feels he missed an opportunity by skipping celebration of his own birthday a couple months ago, but it wasn't important. Except for the food.) His compliments to Peeta for organizing this.

He seeks out Jehan first, not wanting to pull the birthday boy away from his social obligation to share his adorable self with everyone, but he also didn't want to go without pinning him down for at least a few minutes.

[angeliaforos]

It wouldn't be like Gabriel to not show up. First off, it's a party, he loves parties to pieces. Second off, it's Jean Prouvaire, for crying out loud. Not showing up to this kid's birthday party in particular would be an abomination.

He's hung around for a while, mingled, watched the right people before he flags down the French boy himself.

[pyrkagia]

There's a much, much happier Daenerys Targaryen at the party, one who actually looks well-rested. Admittedly, the green dragon she's with, she's keeping curled close to her, cradled in her arms though he's bigger now, protective as if someone's going to snatch him away again.

But Jehan and Dany are very close. She'll be looking for him at any rate.
