[When Thash woke up in the morning it was usually pretty slowly. Maybe at home in some risky srea or in a cave he'd sleep lightly but here, in a soft warm bed aboard a fairly safe ship, he slept like a rock]

[So he sort of half woke up, giving a small yawn and stretching his arms out a little then curling them back in to lightly squeeze what they'd been wrapped around... which happened to be Faye]

[myfayevalentine]

*At the gentle squeeze of the arms around her, Faye slowly began to wake herself. She yawned down into the mattress, and nuzzled her body closely to Thash's. Then her eyes slowly blinked open for a moment before she closed them again, as though choosing to stay in the comfort of sleep*

[crankyshark]

[Feeling Faye stirring caused Thash to wake up a little more. His eyes blinked open and he looked down at her a few moments before snuggling closer with his arms and tail. His drowsy voice was quiet when he spoke]

Hey... 'morning, gorgeous.

[myfayevalentine]

*Waking up next to him like that still made her giggly and happy. Faye nuzzled up close to him, grinning against his shoulder before giving it a small kiss*

Morning, sharky.

*Finally, she opened her eyes, blinking sleepily up at him and smiling lazily*

[crankyshark]

[He hadn't quite gotten used to it either, amazed at how comforting it was and how happy it made him first thing in the morning]

[He smiled back at her, kissing her forehead] how'd you sleep?

[myfayevalentine]

Mm.. Okay.

*Faye smiled warmly at the kiss, and liftes a hand to brush the hair from his eyes. It was something she had to do often when they lay like this, but she likes it*

How about you? Well restes?

*Faye yawned gently*

[crankyshark]

Yeah...[when she brushed his bangs out of the way she'd be met with a warm smile] Hm, guess what day it is....

[myfayevalentine]

*She blinked at first, trying to guess what day it was. She wasn't in the habit of knowing the days. It still wasn't quite Thash's birthday yet which must mean... She smiled when she realised what he meant, then leaned back gently and widened her eyes*

Do I look old now?

[crankyshark]

Heh...one day older than yesterday, but still plenty youthful. But hey, getting older has it's benefits.... Like getting pampered on your birthday. Want some breakfast in bed?

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye chuckled at his reply - he never said the expected, obvious thing. She tilted her head at his suggestion, seemingly rather surprised at such a thing*

Really? Sure.

*Breakfast in bed wasn't something she'd ever had brought to her before. She almost thought it was a romantic thing that people did in books only, never in actual real life*

[crankyshark]

Yeah really, heh. Alright, just hang out for a few minutes.

[he got up slowly, starting to crawl over her to get out of bed. He paused before he was all the way up though, leaning down to kiss her on the neck affectionately. He then stood up and put his pants on, heading out the door]

[myfayevalentine]

Okay.

*Faye smiled brightly at the kiss, and turned to watch him leave. When he was gone, she turned her face into his pillow, then burst into a fit of muffled giggles. Faye didn't really have any expectations for her birthday, but the idea of breakfast being made for her and brought to her in bed excited her a lot. She sat up eventually and combed her fingers through her hair to be sure that she didn't look too bedraggled when he came back to her. Then she went through a series of stretches that she could still do in bed while sitting down, waiting for him to come back with breakfast*

[crankyshark]

[hed come back a little while later with a plate of food for her, consisting of eggs, smoked meat and toast. He'd come over and hand it to her, then sit in the bed next to her watching her expectantly. He was more used to cooking up meat than eggs or toast so he wanted to see if he'd done a suitable job. The eggs were cooked all the way through (over hard) and the toast was darkened but not black....it was probably a little more toasted than most people liked]

Hope I didn't mess it up too bad...it's been a while since I cooked eggs and I almost never toast bread.

Thash's birthday!

[myfayevalentine]

*In the morning, Faye would have woken Thash with hugs and kisses, and would have demanded that he spent some time in bed with her, just relaxing. Later on, she made a mess in the kitchen trying to bake a birthday cake. Eventually, all she managed to create was the smell of smoke and a burnt lumpy mess that she had to throw away. Still, she tried not to be too angry with herself for it. She would have let Thash know that she expected him in the evening in her room, and so she waited there, a little anxious, for him to arrive for the little celebrations she had planned*

XD failcake...but A for effort

[crankyshark]

[Thash spent most of the day just doing normal stuff after spending some comfy time with her in bed in the morning. He'd work on weapons, go for a swim, catch fish if they were getting low, and stuff like that. When the evening rolled around, he put his striped T-shirt on and went to Faye's room, knocking on the door to see if she was ready for him. He felt a little excited himself since he hadn't celebrated his birthday in years... it was nice to know someone who cared enough to make it a special day]

;; she tried

[myfayevalentine]

*When Faye heard the knock on the door, she finished what she was doing with setting up then room, then headed over to open up the door, revealing the room in front of him. She'd gone for a similar atmosphere to what he'd had for her birthday, and he'd recognise the large hanging lantern he'd made her. There were a few of the other lanterns around the room, and the place smelled pleasantly of lavendar.

By the bed, Faye had arranged her small table to include a bucket with a bottle of champagne and two glasses. There was a plate of little sandwiches she had, after she realised that she really failed with cooking anything. But there's some with fish, and even some with beef. There was a plate of sour sweets she'd picked up, and a bowl of strawberries. Beside this there was what looked like a bowl of chocolate, but with a candle underneath. There were also a few bottles of oil lined up.

Finally, Faye closed the door, revealing herself in a red silk nightgown. It fitted her rather well, the silk shining in the occasional flicker of a candle. When the door closed behind Thash, Faye stepped towards him and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him sweetly*

Hey, birthday boy. Happy birthday.

Re: ;; she tried

[crankyshark]

[thash walked in looking very impressed, taking in the pleasant sight and smell and overall atmosphere of the room. The food and drink laid out on the table made him hungry, and the lavender smell and dim light were very relaxing. When he laid eyes on Faye, his eyebrows raised in surprise and attraction]

[he returned her kiss happily, amazed how much trouble she'd gone through to put all this together] thank you...and wow, you look amazing [the velvety deep red color was especially eye catching to him]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye beamed at the compliment, evidently pleased that it had the desired result. She blushed a little, then took his hand and lead him over to the bed*

Thank you... Figured since it's your birthday I should wrap myself up nicely for you.

*She chuckled a little then sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Thash, then the refreshments, then blinking towards the side of the bed, aware that his gifts were hiding underneath*

So, you're the birthday boy so you get to decide what happens. There's things to eat but...not any cake. I'll just - take you out some place for cake... Then there's your presents too. And, of course, the birthday present you asked for - your massage. So, how would you like to start your birthday evening?

[crankyshark]

[Thash sat in the bed next to her and glanced around a little more as she explained but his eyes soon came back to rest on her. She was by far the most interesting thing in the room to look at, afterall]

Hm... Well, I am hungry and those sandwiches look pretty tasty [he said with a smile over at her]

[myfayevalentine]

Of course! Help yourself!

*Faye got up from the bed, perhaps seeming a little flustered. She moved round to the smalltable, picking up a small plate and handing it to him so that he could pile up however much he wanted. She thought about explaining to him how hard she'd tried to make a cake and a meal, but the fact she'd failed so completely was embarrassing. She was pretty sure that girlfriends were supposed to impress their boyfriends with that. So she said nothing, jist picked up the bottle of champagne. It took a moment but she soon popped it open without spilling a drop*

Glass of champagne?

[crankyshark]

[thash nodded and watched her, thinking it cute how such a normally confident woman was appearing a bit flustered right now. He guessed this must be important to her and she probably wasn't used to doing things like this...he'd felt similarly nervous the first time he took her on a date and many times since then. It seemed he'd done a decent job though and she was certainly doing a old job in his opinion]

Thank you [he took the plate and started putting some food on it] this stuff smells delicious... Glad you managed to get some good food from the kitchen, I passed by it earlier and it smelled like a burning village... [of course he hadn't considered the possibility it might have been her in there generating that smell with her valiant along efforts]

[he glanced up at the champagne as she asked] Hm? Oh, sure. Thank you.

[he sat down to dig into the sandwiches]

[myfayevalentine]

*When he mentioned the burning smells from the kitchen, Faye's eyebrows rose, though it could seem to be in surprise. Then she burst into a laughter, trying to ignore that and pretend that it had nothing to do with her. Then she sat down on the bed next to him and gulped some of her drink*

Hope they taste okay..

[crankyshark]

[he was half done with a sandwich by the time she spoke] Hm? Yeah, they taste great!

[he continued to happily much away, sipping his drink now and then] this drink is pretty tasty too...

[he smiled a bit when he was done with the first sandwich] thank you by the way...for the good, and all this. It's awesome.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye relaxed to know that he was enjoying it, glad he wasn't talking about burning anymore. She leaned her shoulder against his and held up her glass towards him*

You're very welcome.

Happy birthday, Thash. Hope your day hasn't been boring so far.

[crankyshark]

[he knocked his glass against her lightly] thank you...and no, it's been fine. Got a bit of weapons stuff done and saw a whale swimming by when I went for a dip earlier...that was pretty cool. It wasn't close enough to the surface for anyone in the ship to see, though.

[he started eating the next sandwich]
