[Happy goddamn 18th birthday, Keigo. You're a man now. Or have been one for a year, I don't know what Japan considers the age of majority. Who cares, it's his birthday. There's not much cheer about due to the looming specter of death, thanks Clarent, but whatevs

[Chieko is here to seduce your girlfriend to wish you a happy birthday!

...And since it's a renaissance faire, she's wearing a slightly revealing fantasy cosplay. I hope you don't mind cleavage.]

Happy birthday! I d-didn't know before.

[lifeokeigo]

[He really wishes you didn't wear that. Keeping his eyes on your face is already difficult enough. He's got an actually decent doublet and breeches on, and has his (plastic) practice rapier belted to his side.]

Sorry for the short notice, I've just been stupidly busy this week. I definitely thought you'd enjoy this place, though!

[forgive_me_my]

[They're so firm and luscious! Her boots, that is. High quality imitation leather.]

No, it's fine! I've never been to one of these before. It looks really cool.

[She still seems a bit awkward though, right now.]

[lifeokeigo]

[He'd love to hold them. The boots, of course.]

It is, there's a lot to do and see. It's the best if you can get into a character, but that can get a little awkward sometimes.

[forgive_me_my]

[They're not yours to hold.]

It looks like it. The food smells good.

Character?

[lifeokeigo]

[Could just make it look like an accident...]

Yeah, the food's the best part, I always spend a fortune here on snacks.

Yeah, you know, get into character. Like you're some serving we- uh, noble lady.

[forgive_me_my]

[She indicates some stalls!]

That stew looks really good. I've never had Irish food before. Maybe I'll get some later.

[Mostly joking here, but still, you do not call a repsectable girl like Chieko that. :|]

W-wench? If I'm a wench, you're a stablehand!

[lifeokeigo]

Oh, yeah, the stew's great! You can hardly taste the goat, if it's got that in it.

[S-sob that really was just a slip of the tongue, but going to play it off as clever joking!]

I can't be a stablehand, I've got a weapon!

[forgive_me_my]

Huh. T-that's a little strange.

[Yes, well, she's just trying to ignore how increasingly skeevy you've been coming across lately.]

And I'm far too classy to be a wench!

[lifeokeigo]

A little, yeah.

[ ... :||| ]

Right, so you're a noblewoman.

[forgive_me_my]

Still, I'd be willing to try it. I cooked some really spicy stuff for Michi's birthday, so this should be cake.

[Though, now, she looks a bit awkward again. I wonder why?]

[lifeokeigo]

I didn't know you liked spicy stuff too. That's good to know.

[...he assumes it's his fault, of course. Happy, neutral subjects now.]

S-so, ah, there should be jousting sometime soon. That's always really fun to watch!

[forgive_me_my]

Some stuff. Not all the time, and not in the caliber she can handle.

[Oh, don't worry, she still blames you about things.]

Oh, that does sound nice!

[lifeokeigo]

Ah, right. She likes to burn her mouth out, I think.

[Some of it actually is, but not all!]

Yeah! There's a whole tournament going on, and sword fights, and acrobatics with pyrotechnics... and this really cheesy little play they do sometimes about the Black Knight.

[forgive_me_my]

I-I remember the first time I took her out for Korean Barbecue. We had such a good time.

[She smiles, and it sounds like she's reminiscing about a first date.]

Ah, cool.

[lifeokeigo]

[Yes well. Keigo is well-aware of how she feels about Michi. Not the making out, of course. But, let's not make it more awkward by bringing this up at all.]

Or if that's not your thing, there's fabric and clothes, or the art shows!
