March 28 - Happy Birthday

[brightestlight]

She didn't know when his birthday was. He'd never told her, so when she got the email, it just sort of exploded into a flurry of needing to do things. Of needing to put something together, and that's why she did. That's why she messaged him, why she'd booked the holodeck, and why she'd done this. She was outside, waiting.

And, yeah, she was wringing her hands, until she heard him coming closer. Because she was nervous. Because, as he'd told her once, what seemed a lifetime ago, he loved birthdays.

And she, Caroline Forbes, was pretty much the world's biggest stickler for throwing good parties.

"Hey," she said, exhaling in sort of a rush, smiling brightly because she was glad to see him, but that also sort of meant she could stop working on it, she could just hope it all went off well.

"Or I wouldn't ask, would I," Klaus points out with a smile that is, in fact, sheer good mood. It's rare enough to see him in one of these. "The fifties were... tedious, in many ways. The rules of society had loosened during the War, but everybody was back in their proper place in the fifties. Swing-dance was for the free spirits of the Western world."

Very much what speakeasies had been in the twenties.
