For Xander

[song_princess]

It was her darling husband's birthday. How to make it special for him? Leanne planned it ahead of time, speaking with the cooks and chefs to teach her how to make a cake when he was busy with his duties. But now is the day! She wakes up extra early to carefully slip out of bed before Xander wakes up, praying silently he was still tired from the previous night.

After hastily slipping a robe on, she quietly heads out of the bedroom towards the kitchen in order to pick up the cake she made last night. Leanne hurries back to the bedroom and checks to see if Xander is still asleep. If he was, she would quietly set the cake on his night stand and crawl back into bed with him.

If he was awake, she will just close the door behind and smiles at him, holding the cake. "Happy Birthday, Darling."

Okay, you can open your eyes... now!

[In front of them, Makoto has prepared a feast fit for a king— fried chicken, potato salad, broiled fish, pasta, vegetables, rice, you name it.]

I'm not good at buying presents, but I'm okay at cooking.

[Behind the mountain of food, he might be able to see a chocolate cake decorated with sugared flowers and a candle.]

I hope you like it.

Did you think I would forget?

[Chuckling slightly, Cherche crosses to Xander's side, reaching up to kiss his cheek.]

It is not quite the surprise party I had imagined considering there is no furniture here big enough for Minerva to hide behind, but it should still be alright with only two partygoers.

[On cue, a wyvern shrieks outside.]

She is a bit disappointed, but she sends her wishes either way.

[Clasping her hands and pursing her lips, she moves to the center of the room where two tables have been set up— one with food and another with a few decorated boxes. There are also two paper birthday hats atop each plate and a few simple paper decorations along one of the chairs.]

I must admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for birthday parties. Even if they might not be fitting for a prince,

[Maybe I could ask you to get something started for these two? I'll roll with anything.]

for the prince who somehow got a horse on the castle roof

[Sona smiles to herself as she sneaks out of bed on the crack of dawn, just before Xander gets a chance to wake up. Her etwahl floats up as she approaches, she gives a quick check to make sure the tuning is correct and the strings are still good.

She knows better than to wake Xander up, but she starts to play a soft tune to "happy birthday" that is enough to stir him awake.]

You always prefer a quiet birthday, but-

[Siegbert leads Xander to his father's study. Not a single trace of paperwork is on the desk, as a few certain siblings of Xander's took off with them to prevent their eldest brother from working on his birthday. They gave Siegbert a chance to place his present within, which he motions to a new artwork on the wall.]

I still wished to give you a present.

[It's a painting of a sunrise among an open field near Nohr's borders. While Nohr has always been a land of night, the sun opening up it's light on the land adds a bit of wonder for those who caught eye of the sight. It was clearly set during the autumn time, most likely a painting that took a few months to create.

The piece is untitled, but a small signature of an artist in the corner shows who created the piece. It took time and patience, but Siegbert is happy enough with it to present to his father.]

I must confess that I did sneak out several nights to go capture this scene and I will accept any punishment as you see fit, but... A gift created is more precious than a gift bought. It is also more deserving for not only a king, but for a dear father.

[He smiles at Xander, to check his father's reaction.]

Happy birthday, Father.

For Athrun

[icyheiress]

[Belatedly Happy Birthday but she is here for that day or anything else, finally.]
