The hardest part about this morning has been keeping a straight face around Ren, like it's a day like any other, nothing to see here. Like they don't know. How can you not be totally hype about getting to throw a kid's first birthday party ever, especially for this kid? With great difficulty, turns out, and the twins keep throwing each other conspiring glances while everybody goes about their morning routines of pet smooches and breakfast. They are also. Throwing everybody else glances that say don't blow this.

The best part is sending Ren off on some harebrained quest that's just whimsical enough to work. Kravitz has finally decided to pull his weight around here and takes her off to a thrilling game of Hide n Seek: Grim Reaper Edition, while Chara and Seto elect to hover helpfully as the twins do their cooking magics.

Around lunchtime, they've called her back to camp and when she arrives, she'll be greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of a whole entire chicken roasting over the fire. Next to it, there's a real life actual pile of bright and colorful and arcane objects hidden in kitty wrapping paper, ready to be unpacked. There is abso-fucking-lutely a Fantasy German chocolate cake.

And in the middle of it all, two very very proud elves.


OTA, Ren + YOU
Once the goblin festivities have concluded, the twins make sure not to let Ren abscond to some anti-birthday hidey hole. Instead, they parade her around the island like this is Ren On Tour and they're her roadies. For real, actually, because Ren is wearing this bitchin dress and this very special crown. Lup narrowly convinced Taako he can't charge any kind of ticket price no matter what he calls this.

Ren On Tour can be found at the temple, at the beach, on the islets, just, all over. Come say hi and ask for autographs give her presents! The twins are hanging back because she's the center of attention, here. But they're there, in the distance, out of the corner of your eye you will spot them. Watching, making sure you treat her right.

Anyone who doesn't have a present may or may not get levitated straight into the ocean.

"Don't you think I'm a little too tall for that?" Spinning usually requires an arm over a head, and maybe if he knelt...but then, how would he exactly be spinning at that point? Does he look like a breakdancer to you, pal?

He's not even really that tall; it's just that Ren is stupidly tiny because she's a kid.

"How 'bout I twirl you instead, hm?"

Sometimes Tim is a party killer and other times he brings up some valid and great points. It's looking like a combination of the two because while she wants to do a little spin, she wants him to experience this incredible level of twirly fun. She wiggles her hand in the air, considers the [1] option he gives and-

It's not like she'll get any taller on her own, unless the island loses its mind again. So she helpfully offers-"I can stand on a rock and twirl you. Then you can twirl me."

[postictal]

It's a faint thing; a lift to one corner of his mouth, a huff of faintly amused air, something that barely qualifies as a laugh but nonetheless is the closest he gets to one. As if he'd deny Ren anything, on her special day or otherwise.

"Sure, kiddo. Whatever you want." And he means it. If she wants to spin him around, fuck it. Spin him around. He's never in his life made anyone happy the way he seems to be making her happy now, and that kind of joy is - infectious in a way he's never considered.

Hell yes, Tim. Twirling and other related spinning activities are pretty much her only hobbies after hiding in the forest, so he made a wise choice here. He'll learn the art, the method, and will totally impress Guzma with this newfound knowledge one day.

Once he agrees, she moves away to find The Rock or a tree stump or whatever she can find to give herself some height and then holds both arms high in the air, to show that she IS the tallest person now. Come to her. She's Ready. "Okay, now you can grab my hand and I'll spin you for a long time."

[postictal]

That’s not too difficult a feat, even for a child - Tim is not a terribly tall man. He gives the impression of being more physically intimidating than he actually is. Which, at the moment, isn’t very intimidating at all. It’s hard to be physically imposing when a small child wants to spin you under her arm like a fucking ballerina.

“Not too long,” he says, his one wry stipulation. “Don’t wanna get dizzy or anything, yeah?”

[catpiper]

The more he spins, the stronger he'll become. That's the rule. But with a happy nod, her wiggly fingers reach towards him and she quietly accepts this Single Term. She'll give him breaks in between, but for now-

She's so happy to see him spin under her hand and it makes her laugh, overcome with delight. He looks incredible? What a great spinner. It's impressive and true to her word, she'll release him from this spinny hell when he says he's too dizzy.

Until then, she's gonna keep twirling away. Maybe do a couple rock spins of her own and enjoy his company on a day she wouldn't have without him.
