Backdated to day after zombie island.

[He was finally clean, kind of rested (he was still guilting about Hakuba so it was hard to sleep), and having had a decent meal, Conan was feeling a lot more put together and a lot less stressed. Barring the worry about Hakuba reviving or not, he was a lot more relaxed than he had been during that whole affair

[ And there she was, looking a lot more relaxed as well. ]

Afternoon, Conan.

[17_going_on_8]

Afternoon, Beatrice. [Will come take a seat at the table after pulling off his backpack.] Did you sleep well?

[bitchcrafts]

Wonderfully. After all that stress, it was a welcome change.

Did you?

[17_going_on_8]

...honestly better than I expected. [Haha, he expected no sleep whatsoever.]

[bitchcrafts]

Good.

So what brings you here?

[17_going_on_8]

It's usually tradition to give gifts on one's birthday.

And I did promise them. [Pulling out a big, gift wrapped box from his bag and sets it on the table.]

[bitchcrafts]

[ visibly startled! she has never gotten a birthday gift before ]

For me...?

[17_going_on_8]

Of course.

[Pushes the box towards her. Holding a very dress!]

[bitchcrafts]

[ ... !!!

Where do you even get a dress-- oh she doesn't even care, she's pulling it out of the box giddily and holding it up to herself ] Ahahaha! It's wonderful!

[17_going_on_8]

[By knowing where every strange tree ever is.]

Glad you like it. It took a while before I could find one that would certainly suit you.

[bitchcrafts]

And it does suit me-- thank you. Wahahaha, wonderful!

[17_going_on_8]

Good. [Smiles and pauses.]

...though, there's also something else I have for you.

[bitchcrafts]

... Hm?

[17_going_on_8]

...it's from him.

From the party.

[bitchcrafts]

[ ... suddenly feeling so embarrassed about IDIOT DETECTIVE BEATO ]

... well, let me see.

[17_going_on_8]

...you okay with whatever reaction you might have out here? [Just cause...it's that sorcerer guy.]
