It's A Party|Raynham, Reave

"They all caught on to the game quickly," Trevor said, pausing as he finished setting up the board. "But Cantata is the only one patient enough to actually play and well I'd put her against another player, no matter how old they are."

"Smart as your father," Kyss remarked, ruffling Cantata's hair a bit, making the young girl squeal a little.

"Is it time to open presents yet?" Elegy called out.

"Musette, can they?" Trevor asked his wife as he moved his piece on the chess board.

Legato was deep in a furious debate with the other little boys about warriors they had all heard about in their bedtime stories.

"I think so," Musette mused. "And then we'll have cake."

"Presents!" Elegy squealed loudly and ran off into another room.

"You don't know where they are!" Musette called after her, chiding. Shaking her head, she went to go fetch them from a room opposite of where Elegy had gone.

Legato, now distracted by the promise of presents and cake followed after his mother. "Mommy, I'll help you with the presents," he said as he chased after her.

Trevor stared over the board for a minute considering his next move and wondering if he'd let his daughter win as an added birthday treat. "Cantata, would you like to pause the game so you can go and open your presents with Elegy and Legato?" he asked her

"All right," Cantata answered and slipped off her seat. "But don't move anything!" She ran off, giggling, to join her siblings.

After the children had delighted themselves with presents followed by cake, Musette clapped her hands to get the attention of all the children. "I think now would be as good a time as any to go join the festivities, aye?"

"Festival, festival, festival!" Elegy shouted, skipping around the room. She'd been very hyper since getting a double helping of sugary treats.

Trevor stood up from the seat he had taken off to the side to watch the children. "Well if we're going, you three better be mindful of your manners," he told him.

Legato nodded his head with a bright smile on his face. "Of course daddy," he said. Trevor couldn't help but grin at his son as he took a cloth and wiped away some of the leftover cake the boy had on his face.

[Kender Bard]

"I'll be good!" Elegy promised.

"Do you want to watch them all together or shall we split up?" Musette inquired. "I could take one and you could take two."
