[18:07]	=-=	WE1RD is now known as JohnH
[18:07]	=-=	Pale_Wolf is now known as Arina
[18:15]	Arina	Arina had run off after school without explanation, but as you return to the pilot housing, you're greeted by a smiling Russian, a few light touches of decoration around the apartment common room, and a table set up with snacks and drinks.
[18:15]	Arina	"Welcome back, Robin."
[18:16]	RobinE	"Huh?" her face is a mix of confused and surprised.
[18:17]	Arina	"Welcome back. To... er... consciousness, I suppose?"
[18:18]	RobinE	"yeah, thanks," she looks around, "is this why you left school?"
[18:18]	IcePickLobotomy	RobinE: There's also a large three-layer cake topped with strawberries and a few boxes of pizza.
[18:18]	Arina	nods. "I wanted to set up something a little special."
[18:19]	RobinE	"Why? I mean, its not the first time I've been gone."
[18:20]	IcePickLobotomy	"But that is the longest you have been gone, at least as far as we've worked with you." Walker chimes in as she emerges from the kitchen in a pair of shorts and a tank-top.
[18:20]	Arina	"It isn't, but this was a bit of a long absence. And we're glad to have you back."
[18:21]	RobinE	"True, but I'm sure you had fun. She always has fun."
[18:22]	Arina	"Lana is Lana, Robin is Robin."
[18:22]	Arina	"I don't mind her, but we still missed 0x1dyou0x1d."
[18:24]	RobinE	"really?" her face softens a bit, "thanks."
[18:25]	Arina	smiles. "Come on, snag some of your cake. Artyom was cackling while baking it."
[18:25]	RobinE	narrows her eyes, "cackling?"
[18:26]	Arina	"So you 0x1dknow0x1d he's proud of it."
[18:26]	IcePickLobotomy	"I make the best damn cake in my division! Why would I not be proud of it!" Artyom emerges from the kitchen weaing a pair of combat fatigues, boots, and nothing on his chest save for a apron and a chef's hat.
[18:26]	IcePickLobotomy	The apron is a frilly pink thing that says "Kiss the Cook."
[18:27]	Arina	giggles. "Exactly!"
[18:27]	RobinE	she still seems a bit stunned, "Wow, thanks Artyom."
[18:29]	RobinE	goes to get something to drink.
[18:29]	IcePickLobotomy	"You are welcome, do you want me to cut you a slice?"
[18:29]	RobinE	"sure, yeah."
[18:30]	IcePickLobotomy	He starts by cutting a generous slice. "Arina, Walker? John?"
[18:30]	JohnH	"Well I can't say no to cake."
[18:30]	Arina	chuckles. "Sure, thank you Artyom."
[18:31]	IcePickLobotomy	Considering the smile on the large Russian's face as he brandishes a large knife you feel that accepting the cake is a wise move. You soon find yourselves armed with a paper plate and a large slice of cake.
[18:31]	RobinE	takes her lighter out of her pocket and begins flipping it open and closed as she gets her food and drink.
[18:32]	Arina	smiles, settling down and watching Robin get it started.
[18:33]	RobinE	finds a comfy seat and begins eating.
[18:34]	Arina	"Good, right?" She starts cutting her own.
[18:35]	RobinE	"yeah, it is."
[18:35]	Arina	"Excellent. Have you been settling back in all right?"
[18:36]	RobinE	"yup."

[18:38]	Arina	"I'm glad to hear that."

[18:41]	IcePickLobotomy	"So, how's school been going for everyone?"
[18:41]	IcePickLobotomy	Walker says between bites of cake.
[18:42]	Arina	"Fairly well for me."
[18:43]	Mary	enters the apartment, trailing slightly behind as she had a talk with hikari , and so her first words are "hello...cake?"
[18:43]	IcePickLobotomy	"Mary!" Artyom hands a plate with a large slice of cake to you
[18:43]	IcePickLobotomy	"I made cake."
[18:45]	Arina	waves slightly. "Just a little party to welcome Robin back."
[18:46]	RobinE	looks around the room, after a few seconds she goes back to eating.
[18:48]	Arina	"Looking for the others? They'll trail in eventually."
[18:48]	RobinE	"oh ok."
[18:49]	IcePickLobotomy	"Kasra got called in for a meeting with Vernbeck, I think Reagan had something going on to do with her uncle."
[18:49]	Mary	"It looks like good cake?"
[18:49]	Mary	noods and gets closer "Seems very much like good cake"
[18:49]	Arina	"It is, grab some and join us!"
[18:50]	Mary	smiles at the others, gets herself a plate and sits down, aranging the uniforms skirt as she sits with legs pulled up on the couch
[18:51]	RobinE	's hand that is holding the lighter is shaking slightly as she flips it open and closed.
[18:53]	Arina	frowns. "... Robin, are you all right? I didn't know your exact preferences, if this is too much for you, just say the word."
[18:53]	Arina	"This is a party for you, we don't want to make you uncomfortable."
[18:56]	RobinE	"no, no I'm fine," she gives Arina a smile, "I haven't had a party like this in... a long time."
[18:57]	Arina	smiles back. "We should do this more often, then."
[18:58]	RobinE	"yeah. sure."
[19:02]	RobinE	jumps a bit as if shaken from a thought, she looks to her hand and notices the lighter. She closes it in her fist, "I'm sorry, I must have been driving you nuts with my lighter." she puts it back into her pocket.
[19:02]	Mary	"Yes.. we are well we are sometimes stupid at showing things and so .. cake.."
[19:03]	Mary	reahes out as if to hold her hand and then stops
[19:03]	Mary	looks at Robine
[19:04]	Arina	"Oh, no, I don't mind the lighter, you just looked a little bothered by something."
[19:06]	RobinE	"Just, it was just a memory."
[19:07]	Arina	"... It's been a very, very long time since the last time you were at a party, hasn't it?"
[19:07]	Arina	lays a hand on hers.
[19:09]	RobinE	"yeah," she looks to the floor, "Last one I had was... well... when I had a family to do it with."
[19:10]	Arina	nods. "If you'd like, we can have more."
[19:12]	RobinE	"No, we don't need to," she wipes one of her eyes with her wrist, "thanks though."
[19:12]	IcePickLobotomy	"Wait you mean they. . " Walker shakes her head in disgust 'Off course they didn't." She pats Robin on the back "You're welcome Robin."
