Enzo's third birthday - family

[a1enzo]

As soon as classes let out on Enzo's birthday, he goes to loiter near the Academy gates. He chats with his fellow cadets and accepts their well-wishes, but his eyes are on the sky, and he grins when he sees Dot's minivan coming in for a landing.

"Do you want your present first, or dinner first?" Dot smiles, standing up a little on tiptoe to hug her younger brother. "Either way it means everyone has to get back into the car."

Enzo considers as he hugs back. "Present," he decides, trying to contain his excitement.

Considering the minivan helps with that. "Man. First time I've ever rode in here with everyone. How bad is it?"

"I haven't had to use the compression feature yet..."

"I already feel compressed, after being in that minivan," Matrix snarks quietly.

AndrAIa, who can hear him just fine, rolls her eyes. "We can't all be giant slabs of man-meat."

Still quietly: "Yeah, well...



Next time I'm taking the bike."

"Mhmm...alright...everyone back into the van, we've got a specialist to get to."

"OhOH can we visit St. Eizbaht's Home for Distressed Nulls?" Slash pipes up from the roof hopefully.

"After all the partying and gifting and stuff!"

[a1enzo]

"Right! Let's do it!"

Welman's exo-suit is reaffixed to the roof, they all (with some effort) pile back inside, and Enzo directs them on their way to the well-regarded 'specialist' establishment known as Pings and Needles.
