Day 19 - [Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

Do you personally count your birthdays here in Luceti towards your age?

[Simply and casually, as if today isn't his birthday. Which he somewhat neglected to mention to people he knows. Some people may pick up on that fact from the question.

It's mostly because Kouki thinking on how Luceti usually treat 'time', when he notice the date. Which lead him

Time still passes here even if it doesn't back home, right? I don't see why birthdays in Luceti shouldn't count as well. [A thoughtful pause.] Though it might be a little more confusing for those who are used to a different calender system...

[de_bel_survivor]

The calendar's here what I'm used to, though it used the Western names for the months. [Why can't you guys stick to numbers.] Does your world use a different system?

[soreplaceable]

That must be convenient for you. The calenders back on Auldrant are much different compared to how they are here, but not just because of the names. We have 13 months instead of 12, and every month is twice as long.

[A soft laugh.] I'm still getting used to how short the seasons are in comparison.

[de_bel_survivor]

Wow, to me, the your seasons sounds like they're around twice as long. [Would that mean summer holiday is twice as long?] Give or take. But that's something you're used to.

[soreplaceable]

[Yep, but in exchange for a twice-as-long school year. Totally not worth it in the long-run.]

Yes. But in a way, I'm a little grateful for the change. I'm not sure I could handle three full months of Luceti's winter. I'm not very fond of the cold.

[de_bel_survivor]

[Okay, now that's just almost unbearable.]

Winter's not too bad if you're with friends and family. But I prefer the warmer seasons.

[soreplaceable]

The warmer seasons are certainly easier to handle. Even if it tends to get rather warm here during the summer. [You can't catch a cold from too much heat, right? ...well, that would make the most sense, at least.]

If you don't mind my asking, what made you ask about birthdays before?

[de_bel_survivor]

And summer also means holidays with your friends. [Even if his last one ends...on an 'exciting' note.]

I don't mind. Someone's birthday just came up, that's all.
