Glad to hear it. If you ever want more, they're from a shop a few blocks down.

[ insert an incoming location pin and the name of the place. ]

Do anything fun for your birthday?

[the_fourteenth]

Yuji got me several gifts, and Choso cooked tofu for me. That's more than I could have ever expected.

[frostfist]

[ Tofu...... ]

Sounds like something you would enjoy.

[ Small and intimate. ]

I take it you didn't have a lot of birthday parties growing up?

[the_fourteenth]

[It was charming, in that weird Choso sort of way.]

No, never. Though for my last one, a friend insisted on taking me out for cake. That was the first time, really.

[frostfist]

[ That's....a little sad. Not that Raidou seems like the kind of guy to appreciate large boisterous parties, but a birthday ought to still include a slice of cake, a thoughtful presence, a good time with friends to remember. ]

I'll bring you a slice of cake for your next birthday then. [ If they're still here that long. ] What's your favorite flavor?

[the_fourteenth]

[Maybe one day he'll talk about his peculiar upbringing.]

If I am blessed enough to still be around in a year, I will hold you to it.

I'm fine with anything. That matcha flavor was great. But I won't turn down chocolate.

[frostfist]

[ Interesting choice of phrasing. ]

You don't mind staying here for awhile?

[the_fourteenth]

This city might be the only home I have now. So no, I do not mind.

[frostfist]

You don't think you'll be able to return back? Or is it that you don't have anything to return to?

[the_fourteenth]

I suppose it depends how and when LILITH could return us.

A little of both then, really. It's a long story.

[frostfist]

If you're ever interested in telling it, I've got time and an interested ear.

[ Though maybe this conversation about birthday parties isn't quite the right time... ]

Unfortunately, from the looks of things so far, we won't be heading back any time soon even if we wanted.

[the_fourteenth]

Seems that way. That's why I try not to think too much about it.

Thank you. I may take you up on that offer sometime.

[frostfist]

A smart outlook. But I won't take up too much of your time. I'm sure you have plenty of other things to be focusing on.

[ like studying for classes, training, cleaning the base.... (just kidding, he doesn't do that much anymore) ]

[the_fourteenth]

That's alright, it's not a bother at all. Thanks again.
