Who: Rookie (

helljumper) and Kallen Kouzuki (

ardor)
What: Birthday dinner thing in the forest.
When: March 29th, late afternoonish.
Where: ... Some random spot out of the way with lots of trees. I'unno.
Rating: PG/PG-13. Most likely. :3

[It'd taken him a good portion of the day to set things up, and even longer to make the place look exactly how he had wanted it by the time the sun started to disappear behind the trees. Only when he was certain that everything was in place, and he made the quick trip to and from the castle in order to set out the food, could the Rookie finally be found sitting on the steps that led to the inside of the castle.

Simply because he was waiting for a particular someone, and for that reason appeared a bit more restless than normal as he idly tossed a stray rock or two into the grass in front of him.]

Good, because I really dislike repeating myself. [With that, she gently flops against him, snuggling a little to get comfortable as her head rests on his shoulder. She's still holding his hand from before, and it doesn't seem like she's interested in letting go right then. A quiet 'hummm' of thought can he heard as she glances at the table.

But when she spots the cake (though not its finer details), she gives off a slightly disappointed noise.]

It's a shame they got the cake, too.

So you've said. [He grins, obviously saying that to poke a little fun at her - if only to show that he was indeed feeling better - before resting his chin lightly on her shoulder to stare down at the food in front of them.

Though there's an inner wince at the comment, before shifting a side look out towards the forest.]

Actually... it looks pretty much the same. [lmao sob.]

[She feels him shift a little and lifts her head up to look at him when he responds. It takes her a moment to realize what he means, blinking as it registers. When it does, she opens her mouth to say something, then closes it again for a moment. What can she even say to that? He made the cake for her, even after setting all of this up.

Her free hand reaches up and cups his cheek, prompting him to hopefully turn his head back to look her in the eye. Regardless, Kallen finally says something.]

I may hate repeating myself, but I think I don't mind so much right now. [She leans in with a smile, her voice softer now.] Thank you.

[As embarrassed as he was that the cake wasn't perfect, at least he still knew that it tasted good. So he wasn't too bothered by the fact that it looked... lopsided and not very cake-like. But he was starting to wonder why he didn't just wish up one like everything else.

Feeling her hand, though, does cause him to steal a glance back her way. Only to listen quietly, as he usually did, before that hint of red seeped into his expression again, and caused him to rub the back of his neck with a light laugh. Because yeah he's super embarrassed now.]

Ah, you don't have to -- [Pause, before he's giving another small smile and shaking his head.] You're welcome.

You didn't have to either, so I guess we're even or something. Whatever. [She chuckles a little, too, letting her hand slide from his cheek to the back of his head, fingers sliding into his hair.]

Hey, stop that. [Meaning the shaking of his head. Kallen shifts a little so she's able to lean up and kiss him without contorting too much, and that's what she does. Her smile won't leave her face, so the kiss may feel a little silly.]

[The kiss in return wasn't really different, considering it was very hard to get rid of a smile when he could feel hers pressing against his lips as well. Although a sudden thought did happen to cross his mind, which only caused that goofy smirk of his grow into a grin as he attempted to sneakily move a hand towards the table and in the direction of the cake. Mostly to try and scoop up a little frosting, while quietly hoping she doesn't notice.]

Hey. [He'll lean back a bit, doing his best to appear as innocent as he can, before making the attempt to plop just a little frosting on the tip of her nose with a cheshire grin.] Happy Birthday.

[Kallen leans back when he catches her attention, looking confused until the icing is on her nose. For a brief moment she has a look that basically expresses complete bewilderment before she cracks a smile and laughs.]

Cute, Rook. Very cute. [In 'retaliation' she moves in and places her nose against his cheek, quickly nuzzling the icing on to it before he can protest. As soon as they're both frosted, she pulls back again.]

It's a good look for you.

[And he just laughs. Loud, clear and bright as day -- even as he tried to unsuccessfully flail away from the icing. 'Cause he knew that was coming, one way or another.]

You think so? Personally like the way it looks on you a little more.

That's because you can't see yourself right. It's makes you look very distinguished.

[She manages to say all this while crinkling her nose, the feeling of the icing finally settling in. Now she can also see the color of the icing on his face, and a curious expression appears.]

Red icing?

I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time I'm trying to impress someone. [Lineface.

Except it just as quickly breaks into another smile before he's taking care of the icing still on his finger. He does make a point to pause at the question, however.]

Ah. Yeah. [A small nod behind her.] It's... not a perfect replica, but I tried.

[That causes her to look even more confused than before, so she turns a bit, shifting in his lap to see what he's talking about.

Oh. Well, that one's a shocker, and it was obviously not what she was expecting (not that she was really expecting something specific). She sits there at a loss for words for a few moments before finally just saying what was on her mind.]

You actually remembered that?

Hard to forget. [A chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck again as he continued to examine the food in front of them.] It was a pretty good cake.

[She elbows him a little in the side, scowling slightly.]

Yes, good cake, only reason to remember that day, isn't it?

[The elbow gets an 'ow', but it's just as quickly gets him chuckling as he expressively rolled his eyes.]

I was kidding.

[Kallen flops back against him enough to hopefully make her point, whatever that might be.]

You're insufferable. How many times to do you expect me to say thank you for this?

Oof! [He shifts his head back just in time to avoid her bumping into his chin, before he's looking back towards her once more.]

I don't expect you to say or do anything. This is your birthday, not mine. [A small nudge with his hand, laughing.] So enjoy it.

[... Or what's left of it, thanks to those stupid fawking squirrels.]

You didn't have to do anything, either! [She nudges back, though it may seem more like a small snuggle. Damn him.]

No. [He'll wrap his arms back around her, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder with a smirk.] But I figured you deserve something special for putting up with me.

[Kallen scoffs lightly in response.]

I guess you have a point there.
