A bar in Baltimore- Saturday night

[notconflicted]

Sia hadn't cared much about her birthday in the past, and she wasn't sure she cared now. But, she really shouldn't have gotten to this birthday, and it was a milestone which meant nothing at home, and it was just days before graduation in Fandom. Once she'd managed to swing a couple days when no one would be looking for her that hard, she more or less had to come back, right?

A few people had been invited. Nothing big, and anyone was welcome to come and go as they pleased, though she had managed to find a bar that wasn't completely insane tonight.

And as she came back from opening a tab, Sia asked, "Why would they beg us not to order margaritas?"


[For a few, but open if your character's at the bar!]

"He certainly will," Sia agreed. "I don't exactly get opportunities to call him on it, and there comes a point where me trying makes it worse for both of us. So, anything that happens now is essentially up to him, and I have to deal with it."

So yeah, she wasn't holding her breath.

Sparkle grimaced a little in sympathy.

"Yeah," he sighed. "Maybe it would've been easier years ago, but everyone being scattered to the four winds doesn't make it easier, either."

He took a drink from his beer, and then shrugged.

"Maybe he'll pull his head out of his ass before too long and figure his shit out. Weirder things have happened. But it's not worth driving yourself nuts over, either."

"Exactly. Luckily I have much bigger problems than whether someone still wants to be friends with me," Sia said with a wry smile.

"And you still have all the rest of us idiots," Sparkle offered, lifting his beer in a toast. "So, like, you come out pretty even there."

"Yes, I do," she smiled, raising her own glass. "And I wouldn't have thought a year ago that I would have you or Cade here."

"It's weird the difference a year can make, right?" Sparkle tapped his glass against hers with a grin. "I'm not complaining, anyway. Happy birthday!"

"Thank you," she said, and sipped her drink. "I'm glad you were able to be here."
