You say it's your birthday...
Through clever research (also known as sneaking a quick pick at her i.d card when she wasn't looking), Lyta had found out that it was Irina's birthday. While it wasn't thirty, twenty-nine was still a pretty big reason to celebrate. Lyta'd bought her a new pair of brand-new, top of the line throwing knives, and fully intended on taking her out drinking with anyone that wished to join them. It was all on her.

Small box containing the knives in hand, Lyta knocked on Irina's door.

	"Enter," Irina called through the door as she folded her laundry and put it away. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And Corey comes along, having been warned, carrying a small covered soup tureen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta opened the door. "Hey." She presented the box to Irina. "Happy birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo too, followed along, a flagon of Olympian-brewed drink in hand. "Salutations to thee on this, the day of your birth, Irina!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-06-28 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Her eyes narrowed as she eyed her teammates and her hands went to her hips. "Okay. Who is the sneaky one who learned it was my birthday?" She smiled. "Thank you, guys. I appreciate this. You really didn't have to go through this trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta smirked. "You really shouldn't leave your i.d where watchful eyes can see it, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And the flagon Corey hands Irina on this hot summer day is...chilled, in fact. "Traditional Russian cold root soup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-06-29 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Argo presented the flagon. "Wine! From the halls of Olympus!" He flashed a grin. "The Son of Hercules be also available for later "celebrations" should thou so desire." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

One by one Irina accepted the gifts. "Thank you all so much. I truly didn't expect this. You are all too kind, my friends. These are excellent gifts and much appreciated." She always needed new knives and she hadn't had cold root soup in ages. Who could say no to godly wine?

She smiled at Argo. "I will definitely keep that in mind."

"How about we all go out to dinner? If you all insist on helping me celebrate my birthday, then we must celebrate."

Harmony still wasn't certain of her place, if she had one, or what the situation was precisely but she'd heard mention of a birthday and given that they'd helped her out when she was a click away from becoming a stain on the sidewalk she decided that the least she could do was bring a gift in a show of appreciation and gratitude.

She knocked on the door frame (everyone else was already in and socializing).

"Hi. Sorry to disrupt, only here for a minute...just wanted to drop off this. Happy birthday. And thank you."

The small flat package contained a cd of Russian music and an iTunes gift card. She sat it down on whatever surface was available.

	Irina greeted Harmony with a smile. "Thank you. I appreciate the thought and wishes. I was just asking the others if they would like to go out to dinner. You are more than welcome to come along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't want to intrude..." She looked quickly at the others, trying to feel for their standing on things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come with us, Harmony!" Argo boomed. "Merriment is always made better by more to make merry!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As an authority on all things nuisancy and interfering, just ask my sister, I hereby declare that you are not being either," says Corey. He gets the tureen quickly fridged so Irina can enjoy it later. "Shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick isn't around for the dinner out - he's usually not much of one for group celebrations. He does know its Irina's birthday though - evidenced by the fact that when she gets back Irina will find a bottle of high quality vodka on her dresser. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-07-02 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Irina will remember to thank him later. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	They all sat around a table in Moscow not too far from Red Square. It had been Irina's favorite place to eat when she was staying in Moscow and she wanted to share it with her teammates. She downed a shot of vodka and leaned back in her chair. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-07-02 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Argo downed what was the latest in a long line of drinks. If there was ever something to be said for the mortal realm beyond the women, it was the alcohol. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-07-03 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you all very much," Irina said. "I wasn't expecting to celebrate my birthday. You all are too kind and the gifts are wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Having never been to Russia (or out of the United States) in her life, Harmony was spending the majority of the evening in awe, both of the locale and of how much booze Argo could drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta raised her shot glass to Irina. "It's our pleasure," she said, downing her shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina raised her shot glass. "To teammates and good friends," she said before downing her shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo raised his own glass. "To further adventures!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-07-07 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Harmony raised hers as well and took her shot, her face getting red as she tried not to look like an idiot by coughing on the vodka. She managed to avoid idiocy pretty well and, aside from the florid nature of her cheeks, all was well. "And to your birthday. There should be some serious cake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-07-11 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Cake would be great," Irina said. "But first food and drink for the best team on the planet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-07-14 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, so long as there's cake eventually." Harmony grinned. The team question briefly puzzled her, though. Of course everyone else here was a team...but her presence was different. She let it go, though and continued to watch Argo in a mixed sense of horror and awe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-07-14 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Argo had a rather impressive number of bottles in front of him and has also managed to collect several phone numbers from various women who had approached the table, including one who'd left her boyfriend to do so. "Aaah, cake!' he laughed. "Most delightful of mortal confections!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-07-15 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"Did you really drink all of that yourself?" Harmony looked at her own puny little bottle---her one puny little bottle. "Why aren't you dead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-07-15 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Argo laughed. "I art of Olympus, Harmony," he replied. "And thus immortal. Thine mortal liquors have little effect on me, save that I doth enjoy the taste." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-07-16 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"This is brutally, brutally unfair. No pants, immortal, hold your liquor, nice..." She started to say something she'd want to take back instantly so she stopped. "...hair." She downed another drink, just to hide the blush. (Reply to this)(Parent)
