Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

[Have you seen your favorite co-worker in a nice green sundress? If you haven't, well, look no further! Because here she is with a present in hand. The present's actually a nice pink sundress she made herself. Fuu's not part of the Sewing Club for nothing!]

Euphie-san?

[deadly_legacy]

[Her favorite co-worker looks adorable!] Fuu, welcome! [Oh, it's hugging time. So much happy hugging today~]

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

Oh, Euphie-san! [Have her hugging back! And stretching out her hand that holds her present.] Happy Birthday!

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you! I'm so glad you made it. [She says that to everyone, but she meeeeeans it!]

Oh, for me? You didn't have to. [Takes the offered gift though.]

It's no problem. [Beams~]

Oh, I have to. It's your special day, after all.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

[Then her expression softens. Haven't you noticed this paper bag she's also holding, Euphie?]

Another person would like to extend his greetings as well.

[deadly_legacy]

Another person?

[She looks at her curiously.]

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

[She hands the paper bag. In it are a little cactus plant in a pot and a box of chocolates.]

Syaoran-san would like to give you these.

[deadly_legacy]

Syaoran would? Does that mean he won't be coming?

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

He might not. He didn't even see me when I got these. He just asked me politely over the Network if I can and picked it up in his apartment.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh, I see. [Tries not to sound sad.]

He must be busy. [Doesn't think for a second that's it.] If you speak to him before I do, please tell him the gift is very appreciated, and I hope to see him soon.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

I will. [Pause, in contemplation.] From what I can tell, he seems pretty upset. Did something happen?

[deadly_legacy]

[Awkward pause.] Yes, I think I know why...

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

Is it something you can tell me?

[deadly_legacy]

I'm sorry, Fuu. It's private between Syaoran and I.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

I see. I understand, then.

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you. And thank you for bringing his gift to me.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

It is no problem.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

I do wish he'd still attend the party, though.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes. So do I.

I hope to see him soon at least.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you will.

Do you really care for him that much?

[deadly_legacy]

...Of course I do. He's my friend.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

You're a very good friend, Euphie-san.

[deadly_legacy]

I...

I'd like to be. [Maybe she wasn't that day.]

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

Oh, but you are. There is no reason for you to think otherwise.
