No one seems to be willing to admit that but you and Finnick. And that new girl Skye. She knows what's up.

[allmydreams]

That's because no one wants to admit that a ridiculous fantasy series for kids actually has any merit. They probably hate Disney too.

[graveflowers]

Dirty heathens. [ she shakes her head, deeply saddened for the kind of people that can't appreciate harry potter or aladdin. how do people live without robin williams singing prince ali?

which now, of course, is stuck in her head and she starts humming as she spears another piece of cake with her fork. disney marathon is next on the docket. ]

I should have grabbed one of Finnick's bottles of scotch on the way out... cake and scotch is the ultimate combo.

[allmydreams]

[She nods in agreement, because yes, that would be perfect.]

If we wandered back into the castle I'm sure we could find one pretty easily. I've heard that there is quite the stash littered around.

[graveflowers]

There are so many. Archer, I think, it was accidental, but Finnick stashing them around the castle was on purpose. [ she smiles wanly, missing her bff. ] He'd appreciate other people keeping up the tradition, I think.

[allmydreams]

[She smiles softly before nodding. So that answers that question.]

The least we could do is replace what we drink.

[graveflowers]

It would be only fair. I'll grab the cake, you grab the baby. [ YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND VI AND CAKE. also she is grabbing that cake rn. ]

[allmydreams]

Done.

[And with that she will scoop up Lucia (handle animal 12) and letting her settle against her shoulder before turning to follow Vi back towards the castle.]

[graveflowers]

[ lucia is like NO BUT I LOVE THE GROUND but then idk felicity smells good so she gets over it and let's her auntie carry her inside.

meanwhile vi cradles the cake and sigh happily. ] I love cake.

[allmydreams]

Cake is probably the most important of all the food groups.

[Felicity, cake is not a food group.]

Especially for birthdays.

[graveflowers]

[ um, it is. ]

And every other day of the week. It's the most important every day.

[allmydreams]

[She nods in agreement, as Lucia gets that tight baby grip around one of her fingers.]

Cake is the food against which all other foods are measured.

[graveflowers]

If cake was a person, I would marry it. I told Luthir that once. He laughed at me because I'm an idiot, but I think he knew I was being dead serious.

[allmydreams]

It's funny how people underestimate our love of baked goods. I don't think they understand how many emotions we have about them.

[graveflowers]

Me and cake is family. Closer than John Green and chicken nuggets.

[allmydreams]

I believe it. And once Lucia has teeth and can handle food that is not soup, she will learn the same.

[graveflowers]

Her birthday is going to be hilarious.

[allmydreams]

[She laughs.]

So many pictures of a baby who decided they wanted to bathe in cake.

[graveflowers]

She's going to hate us when she's older and dating...

[allmydreams]

[She laughs.]

Probably, yeah. But eventually she'll realize that we embarrass her out of love and get over it. Or maybe she'll be lucky and have no shame.

[graveflowers]

Oh, that would be awesome. Have you met Faith O'Keefe? I wouldn't mind Lucia having that sheer joy and bright outlook.

[allmydreams]

[She starts to shake her head at first because ... she has but she doesn't quite remember her (wisdom 6). She does remember her mom though, so there's a reason that name is familiar (wisdom 19).]

I went on my first mission with an Anastasia O'Keefe.

[graveflowers]

Yeah, that's Faith's mom! Anyway, Faith is like this bright ray of sunshine, she can find the good in anything. It's amazing.

[allmydreams]

[She nods with a small smile.]

Optimism is good. Important, even.

[graveflowers]

It is and I suck at it, so seeing Faith just exude it is... it's something.
