Today is my birthday.

I am twenty-three.

Nobody has wished for it to be a happy one.

C'est la vie.

Sorry man -- been on bedrest after surgery, but happy birthday. I'll buy you a drink once I'm allowed.

Happy birthday and hope it gets better.

[absolutdestiny]

Just words alone are better than any drink you could tempt me with. I will have to respectfully, though appreciatively decline your offer to buy me one.

I wish you well--emergency appendectomy, was it not? Please get plenty of rest.

[dontspeakgeek]

Yeah, it was fun -- not.

Lee and Nell are less worried now though at least, and I have like another five weeks or so before school starts for the fall, so that's good.

Can I tempt you with cake? ... you know, when I am allowed to eat cake again. I am getting soo sick of Jello.

[absolutdestiny]

I do not want to look at cake again.

I made myself one. It is not wise to eat half of a cake by one's self. My teeth still ache from the high sugar content. I think I will cut off the parts that have fork indentations and offer the rest to my roommate, Karkat. I am sure he could divide it up nicely amongst his posse of MMORPG friends.

I just wanted someone to say it. You and Lee did. I can go to bed now feeling a little bit better, I think.

Many Happy Returns Neji-Sama. My apologies for not knowing the date.

[absolutdestiny]

Thank you. I very much appreciate this. I do not mind that it is a day off. It is the principle of the thought that matters most.

[blueblackgreen]

Not a problem at all! I think I might have something that might make a suitable gift... Do you like sake?

[absolutdestiny]

I didn't really want any presents.

I just wanted someone to give a damn.

I got what I wanted. I am satisfied.

Happy belated birthday, Hyuuga-san. I wasn´t sure if you would want to hear from me which is why I haven´t wished you a happy birthday till now.

I hope that you will be able to give me the chance to prove that I won´t make any more mistakes, and will dedicate myself to working at the bar and studying.

[absolutdestiny]

Thank you.

Just do your best. I am not sure if I want to continue working there for much longer, but I am not going to get on you. I am sure by now you can recognize when you have made a mistake, and what you'll need to do to correct it.

[crimson_shisui]

I´m the one to say thank you.

Ypu don´t want to stay at the club? But you are such a skilled bartender, senpai.

Thank you for your generous words, I won´t make the same mistakes again, that is my promise to you.
