December 15th, 1622. Midnight.
Ic: It hit midnight at some point, giving way to a new day. Though this day Nerys knew was different. First of all, it was her birthday. Second of all, it was Sunday. A nice, lazy Sunday. It felt good for her. Right now everybody else was asleep, or supposedly asleep. She had no idea if Loki or Cepheid were up at either point, but the ship was heading towards the docks in Seria and they may be able to land soon. Most likely Godwine was flying the ship and heading towards a dock in Seria so she could sleep.
Nerys felt she shouldn't celebrate her own birthday anyway. After all, why should she? Her mother died that day and her father practically disowned her. It's not like she should celebrate that, anyway. The young woman leaned back on her bed and stared up at the ceiling, wondering why the girls and Andy chose to just spoil her on this day specifically.
It just felt pointless.

Like a good lover, Ceph had made note on Nery's date of birth and was quite aware of the date. He was an okay cook, so having saved a couple of Clicky's eggs, Ceph was in the kitchen quickly making a nice breakfast of bacon, eggs, and some cinnamon toast, setting it all on a plate, on a tray, and bringing it to Nery's room, knocking on the door lightly.
"Nerys? Can I come in?"
Tucked away in his pocket was Nery's birthday present, and it took all of his pull as 'The Star Man' to get it done.

Nerys was looking up at the ceiling still, wondering what to do once she woke up, but she felt a bit of a gnawing in her stomach. Midnight was pretty much hitting the time where she would be getting hungry, but she didn't feel like getting up to really do anything, she felt a bit... depressed? Though as soon as she heard the sound of Cepheid's voice and the knock. She sat up quickly, getting dizzy from the sudden nature of the movement. She then spoke up.
"You can come in." Nerys spoke up, putting her fingers through her hair to try and fix her hair. She would look over at the door to wait for Cepheid. When he came in, she was in her simple white nightgown, and smoothing it as she looked over to him and smiled slightly. "Hello~."

It was late, yes, but like himself, Nerys was a night owl, so this was the 'morning' for her. He'd step inside with the tray of food and set it on the bed, smiling at Nerys. "Sleep well, Nerys?" He asked. "I fixed you something to eat, its your birthday after all, who would I be if I made you have to prepare your own meal on your birthday?" He'd grin.

Nerys glanced over to Cepheid as he spoke up and she scooted over to let him set the food on the bed and then make room for him. She'd look at the food, pretty impressed at the work he put into it and she smiled at him, taking the plate and then starting with testing every piece of food on there. Wow, this was actually pretty good! Nerys spoke up.
"This is lovely, thank you~." She glanced over at him and gave him and giggled lightly before she finished up the bacon, nibbling on it. "Thank you~." She would hide her own thoughts about her birthday, though. Knowing Cepheid he'd ask her anyway. Oh well.

Yes, Ceph was a bit more aware of feelings than his twin. "How are you feeling, really?" He asked, brushing the side of her face with the back of his hand. He was glad she liked the food, she was a slip of a woman and needed to eat a bit more.

Nerys finished up her toast, nibbling on it and looking over to him as he brushed the hair out of her eyes. She'd peer up at him with her big eyes as he asked her that and she thought for a moment, chewing on her toast thoughtfully as she thought about what to say. She sighed and looked down, finishing up the delicious cinnamon toast and starting on her eggs.
"Well." She poked her eggs. "... I haven't really had that much of a nice birth, from what I've been told. I mean, yeah birthdays are nice, but... Mom died when I was born and my dad... well, you know." She sighed, nibbling on the eggs.

Cepheid watched as Nerys finished up her toast, and he smiled softly at her.
His smile would grow softer as he listened, taking Nery's hand gently. "I know your life had a bad start, but that doesn't define who you are now." He said. "Who you are now is up to you, not your past."
He smiled widely. "Here, finish your food and come with me, I want to show you something." Once Nerys finished her food, he'd help her up and lead her to the deck, his tripod and telescope set up and affixed to the deck to keep it from moving. He'd grab a lamp to illuminate the area. "Here, hold this." He'd hand the lamp to Nerys and look into the scope, tracking down his target quickly and locking the scope. "Here, look inside."
He'd step aside and let Nerys peer into the lens, which would be focused on a faint but twinkling star.

Nerys chewed on her eggs as he spoke up, and she looks at him carefully. Perhaps, but she still had her doubts. She felt a little bit better, but either way she did always want to see her mother. What did she look like? Would she be happy for her? She had no idea. She'd smile over at him, finishing the eggs and then standing up with his help before walking out to the deck. She glanced over to the telescope and then look into it to see a distant star.
"... Ooh, what is it?" She held the lamp and just peered at it cheerfully.

Ceph smiled as he looked at Nerys, who peered into the scope. When she looked back to him, he was still grinning.
"Look at this." He said, reaching into his pocket and withdrawing an envelope. He'd hand it to her and let her open it. The contents of the letter was a certificate of authentication for the location and discovery of a new star.
"I've always told you if I could pluck the stars out of the sky and give them to you, I would. I'm no God, but I think this will suffice, no?"
Under the registry for the name of the star, there was a simple five letter word.
'Nerys'

She looked at the star with interest, before looking back at Cepheid. As soon as he handed out the envelope, she would look at it with interest, before she smiled and then opened it. Her eyes widened when he spoke up, and she found out that he named a star after her. Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned a bit red from embarrassment.
"You didn't... you shouldn't..." She stammered. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and then hopped up on her toes and kissed him on the lips. "This is so sweet of you~!"

Cepheid watched Nerys as she unwrapped the envelope and inspected the contents. Her expression was priceless and he braced himself for the hug he knew was coming.
"I did.~" He laughed lightly before being silenced by a kiss. He'd kiss her back deeply and wrap his hands around her waist. "I thought you'd like this.~" He smiled. "Feel better?~"

Nerys was certainly feeling better as she kissed back Cepheid and went to nuzzle his cheek in an affectionate way. Right now she wanted to just spend the rest of the night and cuddle him and he could lavish attention on her and she would nuzzle him forever. She would look up at him with adoration and love.
"You're so sweet~." She gushed at him. "This is why I love you~. You're so adorable~." She giggled.

"Heh." Ceph laughed lightly, letting Nerys hang off him. "I'm adorable? Pot calling the kettle black here, don't you think?~" He grinned. "I love you anyway." He'd hug her and let her cling.
This is getting almost sickeningly sweet, the RPer comments. It'd be terrible if something happened.LIES. IT'D BE FUNNY.

Nerys cuddles Cepheid in the cold of the night, looking up at him, her eyes nice and bright. She'd naturally giggle when Cepheid called against it, though she'd still kiss him on the cheek and snuggle into the warmth of his chest, looking absolutely adorable for the moment. Nothing could ruin this moment, not even a disaster.
"I love you too~." She paused. "Usually, I don't think much about birthdays, but this... this is the best birthday ever~." She'd look out, though her attention was caught by some distance pitch black clouds. They were very far away and could close in a couple of hours if they stood still. "It seems it won't be clear for long though."
