14th moon [action] backdated to the 21st

[vibrafinal]

[On this lovely first day of winter, Cecil Harvey can be caught anywhere between the plaza and Community Housing 3. Don't hesitate to call out to him, he'll be more than happy to chat! Well, at least until he leaves to finish delivering his son's birthday package.

And by 'package', we mean 'two dirty magazines wrapped in festive ribbons'.

...Um.]

[Of course, just at the moment he might not want to run into her, Rydia spots him from a short distance and waves.]

Cecil!

[puppet_paladin]

[Now, why would he not want to see her now? (Well, other than the fact that he's wasting two whole Discovery Books on a swordsman instead of a mage. Silly Cecil.) He frees one of his hands to wave.]

Rydia! Enjoying the weather?

[mistlegacy]

[She shrugs after catching up to him.]

It's a bit cold for my taste, but I don't want to waste too much magic Warping everywhere. What are you up to?

[puppet_paladin]

I'm bringing Ceodore his birthday present. We obviously cannot have our usual celebrations, but I would never let the day pass by without a gift.

[And such a nice gift it is!]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain notices Cecil and approaches. He catches sight of... that can't be what he thinks it is, can it? He gives Cecil a curious look.]

[puppet_paladin]

[Completely oblivious to the possible problem. Surely everyone understands the usefulness of free MP?]

Ah, Kain. Planning to use the nice weather to train?

[dragoon_pride]

[You know him so well. Kain nods eagerly, lifting his spear as indication.]

And what are you... doing? What is that for?

[Indicating the package.]

[puppet_paladin]

I'm going to visit Ceodore. It is his birthday, after all. Thus, a gift.

[A terrible, terrible gift.]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Cecil will be greeted at the door by his son who seems in a fairly amiable mood. He knows it's his birthday, but also realizes the chances of having too much attention drawn to it is very slim. No grand parades through Baron, thank the Crystals. And so far, better than last year with friends dead, others kidnapped and Porom sent home that day. Huh. It's been a year already.]

Father! How are you?

/threadjacks for great justice

[boomchucka]

[Selphie's not too far behind Ceodore as she wraps her arms around his waist and peers curiously at the gift in Cecil's arms before smiling happily.]

Hey there!

Mwahahaha!

[puppet_paladin]

[Congratulations, Selphie, your arm-wrapping has just saved Ceodore from an embarrassing parental hug. He owes you one.]

Hello, Ceodore, Selphie. I'm quite well, thank you. I hope you'll not mind that I came to visit today?

[Not that it would have stopped him very long. Birthdays are sacred.]

she's going to kill him, isn't she?

[lunarianlegacy]

[So grateful to be saved the embarrassment. Even if he doesn't know it.]

No, not at all. [Although he does peer over his father's shoulder just to make sure there's not a line of coerced celebrants following in tow.] Come on in.

[Eying the package though. Curiosity is eating at him.]

[beardpuddle]

[Well, Cecil, you might want to hide those magazines, for the moment, unless you want to explain them to your uncle.]

Cecil.

[puppet_paladin]

[He shall explain them with pride! ...Fusoya probably needs them more than Ceodore, anyway.]

Uncle. Enjoying the snow?

[beardpuddle]

[Well, considering that Selphie is here, Ceodore probably doesn't want them much, anyway... XD]

Perhaps previously. It is to be tolerated, now.

[puppet_paladin]

[Perhaps, but he does need the free MP that comes with them. ...Fusoya really does need them more.]

It'll have to be tolerated for some time still, I'm afraid.
