Diana let out a bark of laughter and clamped both hands over her mouth to stifle the noise. She held them there for a second or so before signing in answer. Is that so? I'll be sure to keep that little piece of advice in mind. I didn't even know Fable was capable of smiling. Or anything very positive, for that matter. There's a first time for everything, though,[/color] she signed brightly. Maybe this is the first step toward a change for the better. Who knows?[/color]

Rhythan shrugged. I think it was because one of the students brought him something. I think it was a toy iguana to replace the real one he lost. She had glued wings to it and everything. Rhythan shook his head. Imagine-- a student giving Fable a present. Such an odd child.

That was very sweet of her,[/color] Diana signed with a smile. Fable's heart was more than due a good softening.[/color]
She looked over at Ariel for a second, wondering if it had been her who had done the good deed. Maybe she would ask later -- either her or Fable, or perhaps Vincent. He would probably know if it had been Ariel who had done it.

Bolin pushed halfway through the door and did a quick visual scan of the room, grinning. It was a charming little party.
He spotted Ellie first, then Ariel, then Vincent. Ah, there was the man he needed to speak to. He strode towards the costumed professor, making no noise as usual, and cupped his hand over the man's shoulder.
"Shēngrì kuàilè, Vincent," he greeted.

Vincent jumped a little at the hand that suddenly came down on his shoulder, looking around and grinning when he spotted Bolin standing behind him and heard the greeting, which unfortunately he didn't understand in the slightest. He imagined it was probably a "happy birthday" or similar, given the occasion, but even so.
"Thank you," he hazarded somewhat awkwardly, and then laughed. "What language was that? I don't think I've ever heard anything like it before."

Bolin's grin widened. "Mandarin Chinese," he explained. "It was meant to be English, I promise you. It translated on its own." He nodded self-affirmation, and added, "I'm afraid my present for you couldn't be wrapped, though. It's more of a place than a thing."

Vincent grinned and chuckled, then lifted his eyebrows in confusion. "Oh...? Am I allowed to ask what it is, or is it meant to be a surprise?" Where could Bolin be planning to take him?

Bolin held out both hands to either side, palms up in a shrug. "You're fine to. I'd like to take you on a fishing trip-- there's a beautiful spot just outside of Sacramento. Best fishing this time of year. I think you'll enjoy it."

"Sacramento?" Vincent's eyebrows rose even higher, and his grin widened. "As in California? I've never been there. I love the sound of that. It could be quite an adventure. Thank you very much!"

Bolin smiled and gave Vincent a bow of his head. "It's a pleasure," he assured him. "Happy birthday to you."

"Thank you," Vincent beamed, bowing his head in return. "Feel free to help yourself to some cake if you're hungry. It's delicious."
He stood for a few moments looking out at the others, his plate of cake still in hand, taking a bite every so often. This was the best he had felt in quite a while, and he was not about to let the feeling pass by him quickly. Today was his, and he had all intentions of making the most of it.

Ellie walked up beside Vincent and bumped him with her hip.
"Enjoying your little party, Vinny?" she asked cheerily, beaming at her friend between bites of cake. It was good that they could have so much cheer in a room so soon after the Samhain tragedy. It proved that Dunehelden was home to strong people.
"Here's to many more happy birthdays, eh?"

Vincent looked down at Ellie with a grin as she nudged him, and nodded in response to her. "Indeed I am. Today is an exceedingly good day."
He picked up his glass of wine and lifted it as she toasted him, making a toast of his own. "Amen to that. And here's to many more happy occasions in this place. May they always outnumber the sad ones." He took a sip, cushioning it with a bite of cake after he swallowed.
