Happy Birthday to me!

[goldencobra]

It's Henry's twelfth birthday today which makes him exceptionally happy. Over the past few days he's been handing out invitations to his party on the holodeck and he's currently sitting in the program hoping people actually turn up!

It's Granny's diner in Storybrooke but he's used to technology to make it larger. There's a bit of a dance floor in the middle, more tables and a lot of food. So far, the only person he knows is coming is his father. And if no one else comes, then Henry will content himself with the knowledge that a few months ago, he didn't even have that.

(OOC: No presents necessary, Henry's just happy to have people. I will be tagging around but you guys can to. It's a party! P.S. There are hats by the door.)

Prim knew that Philip said that birthdays were happy things but... this was for a kid.. someone who would be facing the reaping. She... couldn't see that as a happy thing. She couldn't. But... she could be there for him, even if he didn't seem to care for her.

So she made a small wheel of cheese for him, with milk from Lady, because food was always welcome, right? Philip said that outside of Panem birthdays were about gifts, but... well, she would have brought cheese to someone who was mourning, so it fit either way... right?

Wearing her father's hunting jacket that Katniss had left behind, and holding onto the plate with the small wheel of cheese, she walked in, unsure and hesitant.

She looked around the place when she came in, confused. It looked a little like ten forward, like the lounge here, but at the same time... not.

Henry had been trying to be the best host and greeting people as they came in but it wasn't always possible. Thankfully for Prim, Henry did spot her. Mostly due to her unusual gift.

"Hey. Cheese huh?"

[primeverdeen]

She nodded. "I figured... happy or sad, food would always be welcome," Prim said softly, a little shyly as she held out the plate. "I made it myself, without the replicators. It's fresh. I... I got really good at making cheese," she said, then stopped herself, because she was babbling.

"Birthdays are meant to be a happy occasion." He had no idea what she meant by sad but then again, they didn't know each other that well yet.

"Thanks. I appreciate the thought." As well as the obviously time spent on it. "Did you make cheese a lot back home?"

[primeverdeen]

She nodded at him. "Yes. My sister got me a goat for my birthday, and the milk helped make sure we had enough food, even on rough days and in the winter. You can meet her sometime, if you like."
