[ Hunter brightens at that. ]

And - then I can decorate around it?

[apuckalypse]

Yeah, exactly! What do you think you'd want to decorate it with?

[There's loads of options, considering how much project material they've collected over the last half year or so.]

[pyrighteous]

Thats ... a good question? Maybe I can sew something with my birthday present?

[apuckalypse]

[Casey's brows lift at once, and he brightens.]

That's an amazing idea! I've never seen a cloth card before, what if we gave the picture a sewn frame?

[pyrighteous]

-- Yeah! I could easily do that. It's just fancy rectangles!

[apuckalypse]

Yeah! [All he knows about the sewing machine is what he read in the manual in case Hunter needed tech support for it, but that sounds like basic sewing to him, so...!] Oh, how about patches? I could pick out a few good ones while you sew, make the fabric extra-fancy.

[pyrighteous]

Even better. Yeah. I think - this might work out okay.

[ He's SO RELIEVED. ]

[apuckalypse]

It'll be fine! We just have to apologize and make up for it. Peter suggested we do a make-up party, since it was originally supposed to be right when he came back.

[It was a chaotic weekend, really not a great environment for a proper celebration. Hopefully no disasters come their way this time.]

[pyrighteous]

Can we do that? How do we do that? I don't know anything about parties!

[apuckalypse]

We can do it! [He's determined! They're gonna do it, for Rue.] We've seen a bunch of parties, now. We just have to do something similar, except base it around what we know of Rue. And if it's not perfect, they'll understand. They won't get mad.

[They don't have to be perfect for Rue- they all should know that by now. The effort they put into it, and the attention they'll give to Rue, that counts for a lot. They just need to try their best!]

[pyrighteous]

Right. Right. We can just do basic party things. Which are -

[ UH. He has to think actually. ]

Decorations, food, and people?

[apuckalypse]

Yeah, exactly! People are easy, we just need to bring everyone Rue's a mom for or would come and appreciate them. So the whole family. Food should be stuff Rue likes and can eat easily.

[They don't always eat in front of people, even family, but finger foods are easy so they're a perfect place to focus on.]

For decor... well, I didn't really find traditional Mother's Day stuff when I looked into it. So I was thinking we could do the usual balloons and confetti like Mom does, maybe some cut-out pictures to hang... and what about if we drew up some glyphs, to do something fun? Mom always makes their parties magical.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter gets up to pace a little - more thoughtful than actually agitated. ]

I could do something with glyphs! Definitely sparkles, or little starbursts, or things like that. And the plant glyphs could add lots of flowers!

[apuckalypse]

That'd be perfect, yeah!

[Typing on his relic again while Hunter paces.]

Peter suggested doing it in the garden. We could get really creative with the plant glyphs as long as it doesn't do anything to what Mom's already planted.

[pyrighteous]

Oh! I could do that for sure. Maybe even make flowers out of light?

[apuckalypse]

[Casey's eyes widen, awestruck by the mere suggestion.]

You can do that?

[pyrighteous]

I - uh - I've never done it before but maybe??

[apuckalypse]

We can work on it together, if you want? I bet we can figure it out!

[Boyfriend is with you!]

[pyrighteous]

-- okay, yeah. If we're both working on it, it should be fine, right?

[apuckalypse]

It'll be fine either way! As long as nothing explodes, it doesn't have to be perfect.

[pyrighteous]

...

I will test it thoroughly first!

[apuckalypse]

[Casey laughs.]

We'd better. [Explosions at a make-up Mother's Day party is less than ideal.] Do you want to go shopping now, or do you need to finish homework, first? ...What're you working on anyway?

[He's nosy, but Hunter doesn't have to tell him.]

[pyrighteous]

Uh -

[ He glances back at his bed. ]

It's just homework? It's just - um, I decided to try a writing class over the summer, and the first assignment was about family trees and ... I regret starting this class now.

[apuckalypse]

Oh. Uh.

[Casey winces, imagining where he might be stuck.]

Can you just... focus on the adoptive family side of things? You could fill a whole chart with that.

[Don't even have to include Belos...]

[pyrighteous]

... Yeah? You think so?
