Merengue Living Room, Friday Afternoon

[life_inshadow]

Turning sixteen already felt much better than any other birthday Tara'd had since puberty. For one, she no longer had the sword hanging over her head of in a few years, the demon will take over and everything will be different. That in itself was enough to make the crisp fall day feel different.

For another, Diana had dropped off a chocolate cake with coconut frosting before grabbing Samuel and disappearing on some mysterious errand.

Tara considered waiting for any other guests, but ultimately decided to just cut herself a slice and enjoy it. She sat in one of the battered chairs in the living room with a Fiona Apple CD playing on the stereo, feet up as she picked at the cake. She was happy.

[OOC: If you want Tara to have mentioned her birthday to you, or if you live in Merengue, this is open (with possible slow due to workiness). Diana modded with permission. Come have cake!]

That's okay, Sookie was amenable to hugs. "Well, I think every lady should have some really pretty stationary, for special occasions, you know? And that set was just so cute!"

"It really is," Tara agreed, releasing Sookie after a second. "And -- I like that it has flowers? But it's not all pink pink pink. It's c-completely perfect."

"Right! It's not just girly, but kind of cute without being...you know, overwhelming!" Sookie said, pleased that Tara understood her reasoning.
