Surprise Party in Room 1
Jun. 5th, 2007 08:34 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.

She gently offers the tiny ball fluff to him, so he can begin bonding with her.

"You'll have to give her a name. She was the only white one born, and I thought of you when I saw her. The little white ferret with his big, white wolf."
Re: Cake & Gifts
Date: 2007-06-07 07:36 pm (UTC)Sharpened glance at Moon, "...Who told you about that? I didn't even tell Miniver or Mia."
Re: Cake & Gifts
Date: 2007-06-07 07:39 pm (UTC)"I know quite a lot about you, Draco. Served you right, you know. But I think a fox is more you. At least a fox can give a wolf a run for her money."

"I'll be able to speak to her in my fox form too. Alhena might like that." Following the tradition of star related names. It was a star in his birth constellation of Gemini. Since the constellation Draco didn't really have anything quite appropriate in star names.

"You needed a conscience. She will do until you find your own." The wolves were like that. Guardians. Guides. Nags. "She'll be big. Like Mons and Mare."

"What? And oh, that big. Well, would make sense." The cub has closed her eyes again, and had fallen asleep.

Date: 2007-06-07 08:27 pm (UTC)The family had sent a bed for the puppy, food and water bowls, collar, brushes, and toys.
"You'll be all set for her."
Re: Cake & Gifts
Date: 2007-06-07 08:33 pm (UTC)Draco studied the wolf cub a little longer, and then quietly asked Moon, "Do I have to wait a month?"

Date: 2007-06-07 08:42 pm (UTC)"Oh no, of course not." He glanced down at the cub, and then reluctantly handed her back.
Re: Cake & Gifts
Date: 2007-06-07 08:44 pm (UTC)"You can visit her anytime you like. Or I can bring her for visits with you so you keep bonding. Bonding's very important."
