I know everyone is excited for Christmas, but...

Miss Noel's birthday is also that day. I'd like to throw some kind of party for her... since she loves the holiday so much as well.

If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'm sure she'd be happy to see you all. And I could use the help.

Oh! But please don't tell her! I want it to be a surprise...

[He has zero interest in this. Less than zero, if that were possible. He is quite passionately disinterested.

And yet, here he is, responding. Because he needs Ada, of course. Because he has some use for her still. It has nothing to do with how happy and excited she sounds, or how that smile on her face makes something in him... nauseous, yes, that's it. Not warm and fuzzy. Never.]

Is there anything I might do help you, my lady?

My, my.

[Was that a call for help? Well, for the sake of Phantomhive hospitality...] That sounds like quite an endeavor.

[disinherits]

Does Elliot know that you're planning this yet?

[For once, she doesn't sound disapproving.]

[slayingmoon.livejournal.com]

I don't mind lending you a hand.

What exactly do you need help with?

[relive]

Miss Noel? Noel Vermillion, you mean?

[Shirley only knows of one...! She never thought to ask about a birthday.]

I had no idea. I'm feeling a lot better now, so...I'd love to help however I can!

... Offering assistance.

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

Oh it must be kind of hard having a birthday on such a big holiday. I'd be glad to help, though I'm not really sure how.

i just couldn't resist anymore.

[... WAIT A MINUTE.]

Her birthday is on Christmas?!

Re: [Video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh! Would you?

[She liked working with Vincent best of all.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Well... I just... don't want it to be forgotten, in all the holiday excitment. I want to do something nice for her. I know she loves this time of year a lot after all.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Ah. I don't think so...

[She hadn't thought to ask him yet, but she knew it was probably important to let him know...]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[It's heartwarming to see even strangers so willing. The people here really are wonderful.]

Well... some decorations... I want to make sure she realizes its for her too, not just for Christmas.

[A celebration on top of a celebration.]

I understand, madame. [Ciel shares a December birthday, after all - much to the earl's chagrin]

Perhaps I may be of service?

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Mm hm. Is she a friend of yours as well?

[She doesn't know all of Noel's friends. That's why she wanted to reach out to everyone. To make sure anyone could come.]

[Video]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thank you very much.

[The more the merrier.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

I'd never thought of it before, but yes... Then again, that's why I want to try.

I'm not exactly used to throwing parties myself either.

[She was more used to just... going to them.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Oh. Are you a friend of hers?

[She blinks and smiles.]

Yes, that's what she told me.

[marked-as-prey.livejournal.com]

Ahh, well I'm sure that as long as you try she will be happy.

[disinherits]

[Ahem. Preparing the patented Nightray family tsun.]

I suppose I should help you, then. So that it's not screwed up this time.

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

... It is?

[Frankly, Elliot Nightray had been a jerk for the last few years. He hadn't really thought about when Noel's birthday might have been. Of course, he didn't even pay much attention to his own in this place, but as much as he usually ignored it, even he felt kind of bad for failing to even ask her about it before.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

You didn't know?!

[Shame on you. Ada gives him a slightly shocked and... frankly, disappointed look.]

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

It never came up before!

[He returned her look with one of frustrated annoyance, but it was clear from his voice, he knew that he was in the wrong.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do about it?

[That is clearly implying that you should do something Elliot. You know. The way women like to hint every now and then...]

[slayingmoon.livejournal.com]

I know someone who's good at that kind of thing. I might be able to do something about this.

[He's eyeing you Shiki Misaki. Well, he's not even sure if she would help him with this but it would be worth asking..]

[snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com]

Who said I was going to do anything about it?!

[... If Ada is observant, she could probably tell, Elliot just didn't want to admit that yes, he did want to do something about it. It was just to sappy to say it to her. What would he even do though?]
