((Aitas’ Quarters, Shi'kahr District, Amity Outpost))
The apartment was technically rather spacious, but with everyone crowded around the main dining table, it was quite busy indeed. Aurelio had taken pride of place and was eagerly opening his birthday presents.
Molly picked up one of the gifts and handed it to the boy, smiling.
Molly: I tried to get you something that was cool.
Aurelio tore into it - but only as much as a Vulcan child should, of course - rather quicker than the last present. Inside was a towel-robe, ideal for the beach.
Aurelio: Thank you, Molly! It’s really soft.
Ukinix: Response
Cyri: It’s really cute!
Molly: Because you always love the beach.
Aurelio: I’m going to wear it all the time when I’m on Idrustix. ::He glanced briefly at his mother.:: Most of the time I’m on Idrustix!
Taelon laughed softly, or as softly as he could; Cyri’d had a similar reaction to her first dress.
Ukinix: Response
Molly: What’s in the last one?
Aurelio: That’s the one Taelon brought.
Aurelio leaned over, picked it up and hefted it a bit.
Taelon, naturally, immediately sobered, his stomach dropping with that mixed feeling of excitement and dread. Would Aurelio like it? Had he forgotten to pack the controller? Was there part of the model unfinished?
Cyri sensed his mixed feelings and, silently, put her foot atop his and pressed down.
Ukinix: Response
Aurelio was careful as he unwrapped the weighty box, but tore through the packing inside when the ship model began to emerge.
Aurelio: Oh, a D’kyr! Thank you!
Aurelio turned around to show it to the others, holding it like something of a size fish. Taelon, still in that mixed feeling, hurriedly explained its features.
Taaelon: It can, um, fly…the controller should be in there. You can set it to hover and follow you, um, and that sort of….well, that sort of thing.
Ukinix/Molly: Response
Aurelio: I’m absolutely going to need more shelves. I can’t make it float all the time.
Taelon, naturally, answered with:
Taelon: You could. The battery should have - well, I mean, you should only need to charge it on occasion.
Ukinix/Molly: Response
Aurelio: Thank you all very much. Now you can help me with dessert!
Aitas had set out plates already, and there was a cake prepared. Taelon liked the simple tradition of the burning dessert, though he didn’t always understand what the candles atop it meant - was it a grim symbol or a happy one? Either way, Taelon smiled gently.
Ukinix/Molly: Response
Taelon: Happy birthday, Aurelio.
Cyri: Happy Birthday! Quch’qoS!
