Surprise Party in Room 1
Moon and Miniver have been working hard since Mia had taken Draco out on their date.
Decorations (in the colours Miniver had suggested instead of Moon's rainbow idea) are hung in the room. Crepe paper braids of orange, greyish blue, and green streak the ceiling. Moon's put up little paper decorations of cakes, balloons, and cartoonish animals dancing. Along with the cardboard balloons, there are huge groups of orange, grey-blue, and green helium balloons scattered all over.
On a table, with a colourful tablecloth depicting very happy cats and dogs partying, is the cake Skill had artfully created for Draco. It's wide sheet cake; the white icing is the basis for the artistically piped images of Martin and Dart flying over a huge forest full of winding paths. The forest ended where the words 'Happy Birthday, Draco!' were written in flowing script. It was the sort of cake a tarot card would make.
Moon giggles as she sets a stack of gifts (all from her family for the birthday boy) on the table beside the cake. She turns to Miniver and grins.
"I hope he's surprised," she says proudly.
It was definitely bright and cheerful and there's glitter everywhere, including on Miniver and Moon.

Re: Dancing
He shrugs his shoulders. The moment has passed and he can resume having fun.
"It's okay Mia. It just brought back bad memories that's all but I believe I'm fine now.
Should we resume the dance?"
Re: Dancing
Even the bad memories.
"You're not the only one," she says with a small smile twinged with sadness.
A sadness that really shouldn't be there at her age that fades when they continue to dance.
Re: Dancing
It's also Draco's birthday and for him it's a good reason to put things aside for a while and live.
"No. No you're not. There are many such people."
The Regulus Black he knew was one of them but the man's long-dead.
Despite wanting to say something else he finds himself lacking in words so continues to dance in silence until a happier subject comes to mind.
Re: Dancing
"Draco seemed to enjoy his trip to Meribia," she says.
Re: Dancing
"Meribia? I've never heard of that place. Is it in the Middle East?"
Pause.
"Pretty interesting place, the Middle East. Same with the people there. They've got magic carpets that fly but unfortunately there's a ban on those."
Re: Dancing
"No, it is closer to the west, more western than Vane in any case, but not as far west as Caldor Isle."
Oh wait a minute.
"I guess I forgot to tell you that I'm not from your world."
Re: Dancing
"Of course of course. This is Milliways of course you wouldn't be from my world!"
Pause. He's still grinning.
"So how did your trip go?"
Re: Dancing
Except for the vines.
And Ramus trying to swindle him.
But everything else was great.
"Draco said Meribia wasn't bad, and he might be interested in a shop the guild owns there."
Re: Dancing
Expensive antiques?
Magical knick-knacks?
"What kind of shops do they have in Meribia?"
Re: Dancing
She smiles.
"Meribia is a harbor city, so the shops have goods from all over the world. Weapons, armory, plants and items with healing properties, at least one shop with some interesting but fairly useless magic items, and one of the finest jewelry shops in the world."
