Even though Astrid was from what coudl be considered 'the normal world,' birthday parties like this definitely hadn't been a part of her own childhood, either, adding an extra level of surreal amusement over the fact that this one was technically taking place on another planet, although it really didn't feel like one at all, except maybe once you started paying attention to the little details.

Either way, she wouldn't want to miss Nina's birthday party, so she was there, with a party hat on in the spirit of things and trying to hold off on slinking away somewhere to just start drawing everything around her, especially that moogle.
