Ingress's Sixth Birthday Party

*It's eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, thanks to Millitime, and the stage is set for Ingress's birthday out by the lake. The House of Arch family has gathered around a perfect picnic spot under a tree. Right beside them is a playground Tom has conjured just for the occaision. There is a swingset, a slide, a merry go round, and a sandbox charmed with sand that's perfect for building.

Ingress is wearing a gown fit for a princess. It has been charmed against stains and ripping just for this special day. She is also wearing a blinking button which reads "I am 6!" She is very, very, very excited.

Tom, Door, Gavroche, and Megwyn are putting finishing decorating touches on the picnic tables set up with a gigantic cake, gallons of ice cream from Florean Fontescue's ice cream parlor, and punch. There is also a table with baskets of wizarding crackers. These are gifts for the guests - once the crackers are popped, the recipient will get a hat of some kind (maybe there will be a plethora of pirate hats!) and a wizarding toy or game like chess or gobstones. Or whatever else you'd like - the guest gets to decide!

There are several chairs under the tree as well, providing a good view of the playground.

Come, birthday with them!*

OOC: Summary forthcoming. However, very important (and menacing) Barty and Tom thread within.

"I don't know exactly what a Companion of the sort you have is, but the lion is his lir - that are the magical animal companions the Cheysuli warriors from my world have. Normally, they only get then when they're a bit older, though."

A place where a little girl can have a white horse as a companion is probably all right for Cynric and his lion, Ginevra muses. It's not that a lir would eat anybody, either human or another sentient animal that's almost a lir as well.

"What is your Companion like?"

"The lir are just like that; they speak to their warriors in their minds as well, and they speak to each other. Who knows, Cynric's lion might be able to speak to your Companion," Ginevra speculates.

"Can you shape-shift to horse-shape, too? Theoretically, Cheysuli warriors can take lir-shape, but Cynric hasn't done that yet, thank the gods - he is a handful as it is, and I am sure he's be even more so in lion-shape."

"Oh, so that's really special - just like Cynric with his lion whom he got as a baby, which none of the other warriors did, with their lir."

Ginevra smiles. "Really, it's the other way round, at least in your special case."

"Yes, you definitely are," Ginevra says, smiling as she finishes her ice cream.

She decides she really bring Cynric the next time - in their own world, he is unique and a bit alone because of that, but here, the first child she talks to is similarly special.

The bar is a good place.

"I hope you'd like each other."
