IN MY FIELD OF PAPER FLOWERS // birthday + room searching

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

A year old. That particular revelation was a lot for Lumia to take in, all of a sudden. Her niece was a year old? Already? She hadn't officially known the other's birthday just yet, so the feline found herself stumbling over her words slightly, "You're a year old? Does that mean that today is your birthday? Oh, Vayne, I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize. I would've gotten you a gift!" She wasn't sure of what exactly she would've gotten the other, but if she had known ahead of time, she certainly would've had more time to think on it. Regardless, she'd just have to play a small game of catch-up. For now, though, she continued with a smile, "It's not exactly a gift, but... I can help you look for a place that you like, if you want. My own quarters are pretty nice, and I know that there are other open rooms around here..." Maybe she could find a room that Vayne would be able to decorate freely? Like with somewhere to hang her seashells.

She had been pondering this when Roxanne approached, causing the beta to freeze a little as she looked up. Mia honestly wasn't all that fearful of the captain, but somehow the other always seemed to sneak up on her. Perhaps it was just because of the half-munchkin's small stature? Either way, the young Cipher wasted no time in relaxing once more, waving her tail in Roxie's direction as she spoke, "Hey, captain Rox... did you know that today is Vayne's birthday?" Surely the other had to know, right? After all, she and Diya had adopted Vayne – a pair of mothers would naturally want to know when their daughter's birthday was.
