Happy Birthday!
Grace's birthday was on Thursday and Syd had made sure she they acknowledged the day, but they were saving the big party for Saturday. The Defenders as a team had gone out to dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse. When they returned home anyone who wanted to watch movies camped out in the living room.

Syd had the two chefs, Hugh and Malinda, make Grace's favorite food for dinner and her favorite cake for dinner on Saturday. When dinner was over, Syd and Zoey brought the cake out with the candles lit.

"Happy birthday to you...." they sang as they brought the cake to the table.

Syd ignored her own birthday.

	"And happy birthday to you!" Grace said with a grin. Yes, even though they were celebrating her birthday, she had told everyone to make sure that they acknowledged Syd's birthday, too. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Avery provides Grace with two tickets to the new Celtic History exhibit at the City Museum, with a note telling to take any interested party she wants.

There's also no way he's letting Sydney get away with ignoring her birthday. He kisses her on the cheek and whispers in her ear.

"You didn't think Zoey and I would conveniently forget your birthday just because didn't mention it did you?" Avery asks.

"Small Lady, bring forth..The Present!" Avery calls out.

“Happy Birthday,” Eiltin said to both of them. When he told that to Grace of course he gave her a kiss.

He had gotten Grace some pieces of silver looking jewelry made in Avalon, a leather dog collar he had worked himself, a DVD that Zoey had helped him pick out, and he had wrote a song for her that he planned to sing to her later when it was just the two of them.

For Syd he had gotten a pint of Goibniu’s special Ale and attached a note to in very messy English but surprising good for someone who had taught himself to write and read in English a month or so ago. The Note explain that this was really powerful stuff but was good for the body, mind, and spirit and had powerful healing poperties.

	Marlow was made aware of the birthdays and asked Griffen's mother for suggestions. Her offerings, a gift card for Grace to the nearby mall and a gift card to a bookstore for Sydney, were on the table with the birthday cake. She picked out the birthday cards herself. She stayed out of the way, holding down a corner of the sofa and watched the merrymaking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was hoping people would forget," Syd said. She smiled when Avery kissed her cheek. She turned to Avery and kissed him. "I was hoping you would forget." She smiled at Eiltin. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy, who's a little less beat-up than he was previously, provides Grace with a gift certificate to the local Cheesecake Factory. For Sydney, he provides her a pamphlet with an appointment for a Swedish massage with a note. "/Please/ take a day off.

	Dawn was terrible at buying gifts for people, so she'd settled on giftcards so that they could decide for themselves. "What Andy said," she added. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy nods to Marlow, asking her to step aside with him while everyone is talking to Grace. "Hey, Marlow...have you heard from Titan?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Marlow complied with Andy's request without comment. She stood away from him out of grabbing range and leaned against the stone terrace wall. The waves hitting the beach could be heard from the terrace.

She didn't want to answer Andy, but she was worried about Titan. He needed to be found and brought home where they could help him. He wouldn't come back by himself and

"Once," she finally said. "He called but he didn't sound like him."

	Re: Andy and Marlow gammagodling 2011-02-22 07:17 am UTC (link)
	"How do you mean? Marlow, did he say where he was? Did he sound like he was in trouble?" Andy asks. "Look, I want to help him, too, but the longer he's out there...the better his chances are of hurting himself or someone else." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow marlow 2011-02-22 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	"He sounded like he had a hard time talking. His words weren't right. He wouldn't tell me where he was because he thinks you want to kill him." Her eyes narrowed at Andy. "I won't let you hurt him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow gammagodling 2011-02-23 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh boy. This could go south quickly with angry sorceress on his ass. "Marlow, I need you to understand something. I don't /want/ to hurt Titan. But the longer he's out there by himself, the more of a danger he becomes to everyone, including himself. I want to find him and fix this, but I can't let him hurt anyone else." Andy says.

	Marlow looked up at the night sky. "I think he said Devil's Night but that's all I could understand. That's not for months." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow gammagodling 2011-02-24 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Andy looks uncomfortable. "It depends on the place, Marlow. Some places celebrate Devil's Night at different times of the year." he says. "Can you track him?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Another silence.

"A little. I know he's mad and I think he's getting bigger. I know kind of where he might be, but not really." She grimaced. She'd tried to use location spells but he was different and she couldn't get a good hold on him. Just a general area of the country. "I watch the news to see if somebody's reported him so I can go get him and take him somewhere safe."

	"Well, we should start narrowing that down. If we don't find him first, we'll definitely hear about him on the news." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow marlow 2011-02-26 04:51 am UTC (link)
	As long as Andy wasn't talking about hurting Titan, Marlow relaxed bit by bit. She was very attached to Titan, but Andy was also her friend. "Is there any reason why he would go to the Southwest area?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow gammagodling 2011-02-27 01:48 am UTC (link)
	The moment she says "Southwest", Andy kicks himself for not seeing it sooner. He hangs his head, having an idea of what Titan is doing. "Titan is looking for the Hulk, Marlow. If he finds him, we're /all/ in deep trouble." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Andy and Marlow marlow 2011-02-27 02:50 am UTC (link)
	That meant nothing to Marlow. Wasn't the Hulk related to Titan? He was family. "Then you need to find the Hulk first. That can't be too hard. Someone has to know where he is. Does your mom?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
