week 2, thursday afternoon; PARTY TIME
[name a better way to increase morale than having parties. you can't, can you, which is at least part of the reason why Yuna has poured her heart and soul into making one happen. Materials are limited, but Yuna is all about arts and crafts: not only has she decked out the hotel dining room with flower bouquets and chains all along the tables and doorway, but she's made everyone party hats. They're pointy ones made of colorful construction paper and sometimes pom-poms or stickers with string so you can keep them secure on your head and if you don't wear one she'll be really sad because there are more than enough for everybody.
All of Yuna's friends (per her definition of "friend", you know how she is) have received invitations, hand-drawn and decorated with cute stickers, as have people Yuna has any reason at all to figure are Xion's friends (except the sheriff) (fuck him), but like. This is all very much happening in public; it won't be hard to stumble upon.
also there's definitely way too much fucking food because that's what you get for recruiting hannibal to cook and it's probably sitting out alongside like, some bowls of general store chips and shit yuna grabbed thinking they would be at all necessary, not realizing what she had wrought by asking hannibal for help
SO, ALL THAT ESTABLISHED

No one ever does nice things for her, after all, so she hasn't really got a reason to expect them.
At least, until now.
Around 12:30 she checks the time and realizes she has somewhere to be, so she rushes down to the dining room in an oh no, I'm late! sort of flustered hurry. She slows when she approaches, finding the door to the room closed and blinking. That's kind of weird? Maybe Yuna just wanted the door closed for the meeting. Not thinking that much of it, she pulls open the door, also opening her mouth to speak--
--and just kind of. Stops in place, blinking. ]
Guys...?

[And Yuna BUSTS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TABLE surprisingly carefully, though, because she is not about to compromise this feast, throwing her arms up over her head. She's wearing her party hat, of course.]
Happy birthday, Xion!

Yuna... you did all this ... for me?

oh god xion's just staring at her
oh no WHAT HAS SHE DONE]
You—did have a birthday and they weren't just fixing a typo, right...
[YUNA CONSIDERED THIS AS A POSSIBILITY AND STILL WENT WHOLE HOG ON JUST HAVING A WHOLE BIRTHDAY PARTY WITHOUT ASKING, UM]
no subject
but Yuna smiles, warm and bright.]
It wasn't just me. I know it's kind of late, and it's not the best place to have a party, but we all wanted you to have the happiest belated birthday you could here!
no subject
Like, silently, with little huffs and puffs escaping her as she tries to control her tears, but she is definitely crying. She's also smiling, shakily, from ear to ear. ]
Y-Yeah. It was my birthday ... a few days ago.
[ She doesn't say that the date landed on Friday. It's a little too gruesome to bring up.
Instead she lowers her hands from where she's been using them to scrub her tears away and smiles so brightly it makes her face hurt a little. ]
Thank you, Yuna...!
[ dissolves into tears again #bye ]

Happy birthday, Xion. [She gently pats her back; please calm down enough to function, friend...] I made you a party hat!
no subject
She laughs, the sound of it a bit choked up and wet, at the mention of a party hat. Sniffling still, she'll pull away to rub at one of her eyes and grin. ]
Really? You mean, just like yours?
no subject
[She pulls out of the hug and runs over to the counter she's lined up all the extra party hats on, and comes back with one: it's blue and pink striped with a pom-pom up top and a ribbon so she can tie it under her chin. Unlike all the rest, Xion's has a chain of flowers along the bottom, though.]
Chrysanthemums are symbols of staying in good spirits, and of strong, lasting friendship. The birthday girl needed a special birthday party hat!
no subject
Xion gasps a little and stares at it with shining eyes, immediately reaching out to turn it over in her hands and stare at it wonderingly. Immediately she pops it on her head, quickly trying off the ribbon and practically sparkling once she's done. ]
I love it...! It's so pretty! I... [ Tears make her voice crack again, and she laughs, reaching out to to take Yuna's hands and squeeze them. ] ... I don't know what to say. I feel like I could never thank you enough.
no subject
I know things are scary here, so if you're happy right now anyway, that's all the thanks I want! I'm just glad you like the party, Xion.
[Tiara told her never to lose her smile, never to forget her kindness. Yuna isn't sure what she should be doing with that grief, but letting it drag her down would be a disservice to her, to the Hero Club, to Xion. So she's happy, too.]
